Great Flight

Greetings ,
Got my first piper flight training today . Got a short brief from my Chief Flying Instructor Captain Htun . Before entering the cockpit, he signed the authorization sheet as usual .

Capt Htun had logged more than 10,000 flying hours and used to be Air Force Pilot instructor at Myanmar . He's one of the very experience pilot at his country. So , let's go through the pre-flight inspection he said . Comparison between piper and eagle , piper have more task to do with it checklist. After all clearance are given we took off runway 08 .

It's a nice aircraft, more stable . we requested 3000ft and below to practice general handling .
medium turn, steep turn, climb&descend, climbing turn&descending turn. Just to practice and get the sense of the aircraft. After these exercises, we headed back to the airfield for another 2 circuit and landing .

Unfortunately, traffic was a bit busy during that period . 2 outbound and 1 inbound. we expedite our final on runway 26 and took off again. (as i said, circuit and landing means "Touch and go") . ATC assigned us to make a right turn and make a holding at North of the airfield (downwind position) to release 2 departure aircraft. We had been hold for nearly 15 minutes, because 1 departure aircraft had delayed . Luckily ATC allowed us to join final (approach) after 1 traffic departure ..

During our approach , we having a light crosswind . Finally we landed and continue taxi to dispersal area for crew change . I'll show u some strong crosswind landing video which are made by those professional airliner pilots .
