Learn to Fly

Starting from a Simple Exercise

I've heard stories, that to become a pilot it is not easy, requiring exceptional skills, have knowledge of balance and aero dynamic, not afraid of heights, can expel a sense of panic in a very short time, and requires great care very deeply. In addition, we who want to learn to be a pilot would have to spend a huge cost, coupled with the issue of health, physical strength and so on.

In recent days, I was asked by my colleagues to lead him in the pilot schools. I had thought that I would soon see advanced aircraft, with a very interesting technology. But, it all was merely a utopian me only. Why? Because after arriving at the place he wanted to learn to fly, I just saw a parachute with a simple flying machine.

We parked the car on the beach in Lhoknga, I was dumbfounded, because we did not stop at the airfield as I imagined. Apparently, this is where he will learn to be a pilot. There are only a few members of the airfield which has been waiting for him. Once I asked him, he said, that the pilot was not only significant as a driving aircraft, but, every person who can control something that can fly, has been referred to as a pilot.

Well, I'll see him practicing. Because my friend was a new student in a school of flying, but by using the parachute, he previously only had training in the form of theory. Just today she is holding for the first time that fly parachute.



Before using engine to fly, he only uses a seat and learn to hold the rope to adjust the balance.



A handle should be held to determine the balance



The parachute before it progresses


Flag Weather-vane

Before controlling the parachute, we must first look at the direction of the wind, so that we are in the same direction with it and we're not going to be flown to a direction we do not want. Then, in order to parachute to work properly.



Now it's time to control the parachute, he will set to work, against the wind and make us drift



Now the parachute is already working


Adjusting balance in the ground

Although we are still on the ground, and has not flown into the air, controlling the parachute is not an easy thing. Look my friend, he fell down and shriek above the sand because of loss of balance, every move will affect the parachute system that will work.


Flying Engine

After passing through all the stages of training on the ground, then later we are introduced to flying this tool, a engines that have rotor blades on the back seat, and we also will be equipped with a GPS. Control devices such as gas accelerator we hold by hand and control the parachute also be on our hands.


Extra tool

In addition, when using glyphs, we are also equipped with other tools, such as the reserve parachute and helmet as safety systems. At the helm there is also a radio that we can use to communicate each other.


Things that are important to note

When using this tool, we must notice everything from communications equipment, safety rope as well as the fuel. The fuel used for flying parachute engine is quite savers, this engine uses gasoline.


The first stage of the exercise is over, this is the view of my friend place to learn to fly. I really hope that someday he can join the competition to fly using this parachute. A beach which has beautiful scenery. Lhoknga
