Actually, why the pilot dun care u is bcos in SG, the terrain is
very small. The pilots have flown many times already, bsides the
number of landing zone is limited in SG, therefore they more or
lees know where to land.
But in Australia, last itme I train there, the pilots need to
follow carefully whatever instructions ppl from TAG give them, bcos
in Australia, everywhere is a potential landing zone, thus they
can't close their eyes and anihow fly.
My most unforgetable heli flight is in Australia. The wind there is
so strong that the ppls sitting at the back feels machiam like
Initial D, get down the helicopter feel like puking liao. The
sniper from 7SIB bend towards me and asked, "this pilot got license
a not? He driving his family car har?"
Things to look out for.......U must remember to fasten sit belts
properly. When training overseases. They practise combat flying,
even for RSAF. The doors of the copter is not closed and the ACS is
just protected with a cable attached. They swoop down fast and
sharp when reaching LZ machiam like real ops and the de-planing is
done veri fast.
