never wonder why only one CT-4 is flying, why the other one is
always in hangar. go ask.
somemore I'm not from your club and i know more than u. I'm not
eligible under YFC rules. the singaporean taxpayer is paying u to
get a CAAS ppl-r. but under the air nav order, as long as the eye
sight is corrected by visual aids, anyone who have less than ideal
eye sight can fly. however, the yfc decided to use rsaf medical
rules to select students. so that makes me not eligible to join the
yfc. you think its fair for me and the rest of the population who
pay taxes and their sons and daughters are not eligible to get a
chance which under caas rules they have the right to do.
the yfc should not be called the yfc. its an airforce squadron.
look at how you all operate, down wind change tank, stupid! becos
airforce follow the policy of downwind change tanks, the yfc must
follow, the correct procedure is change to the fullest tank, if its
at the fullest tank, you don't change. your instructors cannot have
ratings on more than 2 aircraft becos rsaf policy says so but CAAS
does not have this policy and yfc is operating under the rules of
CAAS!
kid, i tell u lah, u got no passion for flying ok. u just hope to
fly and next time join the airforce and hopefully fly the f-16.
this is not what i call passion for flying. u dun even know all
these things happening in wssl, everyone on both sides of the
runway knows it except 'the kids from yfc' u go ask lah, how many
of yfc ppl-r went to convert to a full ppl, u never even bother to
find out rite, how to get a full ppl. cos u want to go airforce fly
f-16. i've seen pple not from yfc who show more passion about
flying than you kids over there.
i know a ceo of an mnc who was taking his singapore ppl then, he
tells me how he always envy u pple when he see u yfc kids at the
flight ops on fridays taking the gnd papers. "those kids are lucky,
they just have to study. i got to fly overseas regularly and i can
only study on the plane. i have family and i work till late at
night" and some more he does not have the 'computer based questions
bank' to help him. everybody knows that yfc keep a question bank of
caas ppl questions except caas lah. my fren did not have your luck.
he studied very single page of travor thom and memorised by hard,
he didn't even have a single instructor to teach him ground school.
once i was outside seletar camp, there was this girl complaining to
her fren that the instructor scolded her, but 'its not my fault, i
3 months never fly already, i got so many things to study' i told
myself, why the [email protected]$k am i paying tax to sponsor such a person to
fly. govt give let her fly for free and she never cherish it and
still want to complain. u guys are lucky, go solo instructor bring
you all go tioman eat lunch, pass ppl got cash reward. i always
tell your instructors, yfc is wasting my money.
and sad to say, this is what general aviation is about nowadays. i
tell pple i'm a pilot and they dun believe me, you wear specs how
can be pilot. rsaf, yfc, caas and sia have done alot of damage to
general aviation in singapore. more sad to say, i may live long
enough to see ga die out in singapore. to me yfc is not about
getting ppl, its an airgrading squadron for rsaf. singaporeans are
now heading to malaysia to get their ppls, perhaps in 20 years
time, if anyone wants to get a ppl, they have to head to malaysia.
becos most probably yfc won't accept them and the rest of the
flying clubs operating out of seletar will have closed down. even
sia closed its flying club and it became seletar flying club, i
wonder how long that club can survive.
so kid, you better cherish what u have now. i've seen too many spl
who paid their own money and struggle thru the way. learn from
them, thats call passion for flying. and if you got time, learn
from madam teoah, she got a wealth of experiences that all your
instructors combined lose out to her. i'm always honored to have
her fly with me.
