2023 Routine Training at Shifosi Airport, Pinggu，Beijing

A  Pilot’s Everyday Flying Notes

📅 Date: A clear training afternoon
📍 Location: Shifosi  Airport, Pinggu, Beijing, China

🛫 Takeoff: A Familiar Dance

By now, takeoff feels less like a challenge and more like a routine dance. Throttle forward, eyes on the horizon, feet on the rudder—the aircraft responds like an old friend who knows my rhythm. The wheels leave the runway, and it’s just another day in the sky.

🔄 Circuits and Touch-and-Go

The focus of the day: circuits and touch-and-go landings. Over and over again—up, around, down, roll, and back up. Some might find it repetitive, but to me, it’s like practicing scales on a piano: the foundation of real skill.

🌄 The View I Rarely Notice

Pinggu’s hills and fields are always beautiful, but honestly, I don’t stare much. My eyes stay busy on instruments, traffic, and the runway. Still, in those brief glances outside, I catch the orchards, the villages, and think: not a bad “classroom” view.

🛬 Smooth Landings (Most of the Time)

Most of my landings were smooth, some were “acceptable,” and one or two might have made the tires squeak louder than I’d like. But that’s what training days are for—collecting experience, not perfection.

🎉 Conclusion

Solo flying at Shifo Temple Airport has become part of my routine. It’s not about the thrill anymore, but about building consistency. Each circuit adds a little more confidence, a little more polish. Day by day, flight by flight, I’m not just practicing—I’m becoming a pilot.
