Colin Birthday Flight - Trend Vector Aviation Guam

*Expand "show more" for highlight times.* Colin was able to fly with Trend Vector Aviation on for his birthday. He completed the kid's pilot course and flew the entire 30 min trip. Website: http://www.trendvector.com/tvaie/intr...

Colin got to taxi and fly through the entire process. The instructor taxied some to the engine run up point at the beginning and adjusted the controls for all the necessary pre-flight checks. Once done, Colin did most the rest of the work. The instructor pushed the right hand control to talk to ATC when required. The instructor gave Colin the verbal instructions when something needed to be done, and Colin did the task. Here are some high points.

4:45 - Engine Start.
5:00 - Colin clarified who would taxi. (After the clarification, Colin did not let the controls out of his hands. There was no denying who was controlling the airplane.)
5:25 - Colin idles the engine up and starts to taxi.
7:50 - Calling ATC for taxi after engine runs and tests.
8:45 - Sharing a ready call with the instructor.
9:15 - Taking the runway for departure.
9:45 - Instructor corrects controls as Colin pulls back as we throttle .up. He was told to wait until the indicated air speed hit 60kts before pulling back.
10:20 - Airborne! Colin says "I'm Flying!"
16:00 - Over Navy Base Guam with a slight turn right toward Apra Harbor.
18:40 - Over Orote Point and turning right (North) toward 2-Lovers Point.
25:50 - Making a left 270 over 2-Lovers Point to enter a base turn for Agana and landing.
28:30 - Colin got some landing instructions as we turn onto final.
30:05 - Touchdown! Colin got us down safely. (The instructor worked the controls after we touched down in order to nose the plane down and slow it some.)
