This album is based on my experiences as a private pilot. I thought it would be a great idea to write an album on this. A couple of years after Ambiance I needed a theme for a new album and I thought this is it. Creating this album was especially hard cause I thought I had to do something different from Ambiance. It must be better, more advanced etc etc.. I then ignored my subconscious and went for it. I had lots of fun on this album although I almost gave up finishing it.
Get Fundamentals Of Flying from CDBABY
Engine Start After the preflight checks are done you get in the plane and for me this was the moment of truth. I always used to think, just before I turn the key, did I check everything.
fof/01 Engine Start.mp3 Holding Point 29 This is one of the holding points at the airport I used to fly at. There was something about this runway that kept pilots talking late at night. Whenever you approached this runway, just before touchdown, the aircraft used to shake a bit, like turbulance. But there used to bo no wind or anything. It just shaked a bit.
fof/02 Holding Point 29.mp3 Takeoff This is for me one of the most exciting parts of flying. I've done this lots of times, but everytime my heart beats fast. It's great.
fof/03 Takeoff.mp3 Hercules One of the workhorses of the SANDF.fof/04 Hercules.mp3 Cruise Get the power right, set the trim, check temperatures and sensors and cruise.fof/05 Cruise.mp3 Autopilot I always flew without an autopilot but some pilots have told some pretty interesting stories about it.fof/06 Autopilot.mp3 Grippen The new fighter jet of the SANDF. This will eventually replace the cheetah.fof/07 Grippen.mp3 Flying Falling Floating When you fly it feels like flying falling floating.
fof/08 Flying Falling Floating.mp3 Descent I actually got the idea for this sonf from the game, Descent. This was the first game I played that used all the axis, x,y and z.
fof/09 Descent.mp3 Mirage The fighter thats going to be replaced by the Grippen. When this thing turns it burns.
fof/10 Mirage.mp3 Final Approach The approach was always exciting. You are busy in that cockpit. Checking stuff, lowering flaps, talking to the atc and flying, well most of the times.
fof/11 Final Approach.mp3 Taxi To Parking After the flight I used to open the little sidewindow on the 172 and just enjoy th cool air. fof/12 Taxi To Parking.mp3 |
