My First Flight
Some things happen in your life which you never expect to happen. I think my first flight is the same case. Yesterday, at 1:00 PM when I was going for lunch, I saw some students were gathered near AE Quadrangle. Actually they were waiting for going to CABS for flight briefing. So I didn't go to lunch and filled up the form. At that time also i didn't know what was going to happen next. Around 1:30PM we left from IISc and arrived in CABS around at 2:30 PM. There AVM Lamba gave us flight briefing on board i.e. explained which manuevers we will do and how. Then he told that he will take three people for flight training. Fortunately among us only three(including me) seniors were present. So naturally we three got the opprtunity to be airborne.
Among three people, my flight was first. So I boarded in the plane with Lamba as main pilot. Then in the plane he first explained all controls, different control panel measurment instruments, what they signify, how to use radio etc. Then he started the engine, checked that all things are OK and then proceded to taxying way. There he took the permission from airport to use runway for take-off. Then, he put throttle on MAX (maximum power), and we were speeding on the runway. Around speed of 50-60 knots/h, the aircraft started to go over the ground. And after 5 minutes we were around 1000 ft. from ground. Then Lamba stablized aircraft. We were cruising in the sky at speed around 90-100 knots/h. After he showed me how
controls should be operated to do controlled roll, pitch and yaw. I followed his instructions for doing various manuevers. Then he told me to take turn, to avoid from entering into the clouds. At that time we were around 2000 ft. above ground. From that height, the ground was looking very beautiful.
Afterwards, Lamba explained me how to stall a plane and recover from it. Also he demonstrated this twice. Then I repeated the procedure. After he left all controls and aircraft was in my full control for around 20 minutes. Then we started our return journey. At that time, rain started. That was most thrilling experience. On some patches of ground rain was pouring while on other patches total sunshine. So we were able to see full rainbow. That was really beautiful. and main thing was, as we were in air we were able to see rainbow with three dimensional effects. Lastly, Lamba took permission for landing and we landed in about 5 minutes. In overall this experince
was really superb. Thanks to aerospace dept. because of whom i was able to experience such a thrilling flight.
