    End of Summer Break - Perth

    Since last year July, i have been outstationed over here in Jandakot, Perth for my flight training. 8 months have passed and my training here has progressed onto Phase 4. Phase 4 consist of 20 dual sorties on the Baron BE58 aircraft. The learning curve of moving from a single engine cessna to a twin engine baron is kinda steep and given only 20 sorties, hard work is needed to be able to fly the Baron up to standard.
     
    Before starting Phase 4 of my training, i decided to take a break and travel abit with someone special. Here's some of the things we saw.
     
    Hilary's Boat Harbour
     
    Red Sea Anemone in AQWA
     
    Nemo's brother?
     
    Donch look, i am UGLY
     
    Nicknamed - 'Nuaster' by Yuki (for obvious reason)
     
    Return of the JAWS?
     
    "Why do they make the drinking bay so HIGH?!"

    Learjet 45 in YPJT

    Having outstationed over here in Perth for the past 8mths, finally the learjet arrived at Jandakot Airport. First time seeing the real learjet right in front of me...thinking that i will have the chance of piloting one in the coming year is simply unbelievable.
     
    Slim, nicely curved, powerful, here's the learjet for you:

    Sortie 187 - Albany Trip

    Coming to 2 mths since i entered Phase 3 of my training over here in Jandakot, WA. In order for us to qualify for our CPL IR license, sortie 187 is specially catered into our training program.
     
    Sortie 187 requires us to take off from Jandakot Airport, navigate and make a full stop landing at Albany airport (about 2 hrs worth of air time on a cessna 172). Refill the aircraft, fly to Bunbury airport for circuit before navigating back to Jandakot. All in all, the sortie will take up about 5 hrs of air time thru and back.
     
    Here's wat i got from sortie 187:
