The adventure of an aeronautical student
Friday, February 06, 2009
Once again, its the time of exams and tests. Yeah, its that time of the year again. Semester, rather. And after these exams and tests, I'll be having my attachment! I can't say I'm all excited about it. I'm rather comprehensive about it, because I've never done it and I still have no idea where I'm going to be sent to.
That aside, today was the APP(Aircraft Power Plants) practical, and it was refreshing. Literally! We went to the aircraft engine at the back of the lab and our 'go home' teacher(because his answer to our laziness was "go home ah") started the engine. We had our ear-plugs on, of course. And it was deafening! If I wasn't awed by the coolness of an aircraft engine then, I am now! Its incredible to think that an aircraft is made up of all these small parts, from the starter motor to the over-running clutch, and they're all put together to create this suction that will lift a plane into the air and sustain its flight! There are just so many parts in this amazing contraption!
Anyway, after that, I went to play tennis for the last time in this month. Heh.
