It was my first FAM, Flight Activation Monitoring. The sky was clear, but a little bit strong wind was blowing. After some inspections on the plane and procedures before flight, Bob and I took off. Different from large airlines, our take-off was very gentle and even quiet. Soon after the take-off, I grabbed the cockpit column and experienced four kinds of flight attitude; cruise, nose-up, nose-down, and bank. Then I exercised left and right turns for minutes. The view from the cockpit was really spectacular and fascinating. I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture. Although it was just a 0.7 hour flight, I got very tired. I found that the hardest thing for me is radio communications with the control tower and other planes.

I didn't know that only 20% of students get PPL. I'm flying today too, so that I can get into the 20%.
