Inside the FTD cockpit
“ My heart raced as I entered the FTD cockpit , with the canopy closing above me , and surveyed the multitude of instruments on the plane ’ s dashboard . It was time for the evaluation test , a nerve-wracking moment that held the key to earning a coveted joyride on the Diamond DA40-CS . I focused my efforts wholeheartedly . As the course drew to a close , my elation soared when the names of the top 6 performers were announced , and I was among them . I was overjoyed at the thought of a thrilling flight aboard the Diamond DA40-CS .” Jiong Yang
“ This was a rare chance for me to learn the basics of flying an aircraft and a dream come true since joining NCC AIR in Year 1 . Out of the 15 participants from Secondary 3 and 4 students across Singapore in this June session of the course , I was the only one from NCC and I ’ m proud to represent SJI ’ s NCC AIR in the course .” Jiong Yang
