Flight Experience with Mable Soe
Monday, 5 December 2011 @ 2:26 am
Another fun activity discovered with TuxSeeDo.
Together with our TuxSeeDo fun activist - Holly, we made our trip down to Singapore Flyer to experience the Flight Experience, located at Singapore Flyer.
The experience was brilliant with a realistic presentation of flying the aircraft! It was my very first time sitting inside the REAL cockpit, feels life like! Absolutely an incredible experience - one I'll never forget.
I would like to thank TuxSeeDo for providing the opportunity to such a memorable experience.

Holly Jean: I Flew A Boeing 737!
Wednesday, 23 November 2011 @ 3:52 pm
Last week, fellow TuxSeeDo Fun Activist Mabel and I went for our first Flight Experience in the flight simulator.
Our instructor was Peter. He was patient and a great teacher. Their instructors are qualified pilots. The "ground staff' were so welcoming and friendly, they made our experience such an enjoyable one. 
All the controls in the fully enclosed cockpit is exactly like in a Boeing 737NG. There's full functioning avionics and computers on board.
It is a little overwhelming at first... I was afraid of accidentally presing stuff I shouldn't be touching. But Peter made me feel at ease... his explanations were clear and he didn't overload us with too much instruction at one time. Basically, he made the learning experience thoroughly fun!
The high resolution screens are so realistic!!! We flew around New York, and over landmarks like the Statue of Liberty. Even Newark airport was like how it is in real life. (There's 24 000 airports you can fly to).
Within the first lesson, I've become familiar with the main controls...like how to work the flaps, thrust, rudder, landing gear and thrust reversers. I can also taxi the plane after landing.. without going onto the grass *clap**clap**clap*
For someone like me who will probably NEVER get the opportunity to fly a real plane, this is truly as good as it gets. It was super fun, a real eye opener, and landing the plane on my own did make my heart thump!
But if you're an aspiring pilot, then learning and practicing in the simulator could save you loads of money before or while you're doing your pilots liscense. But whatever your skill level, or purpose, at least you know you'll be absolutely safe!
Of course when you Do It! , don't forget to get your TuxSeeDo points!!
