Usife moyo. Sometimes you just need a break. I once had exclusive landing rights at this very large Russian airport. I was the first African airline to fly there but the management insisted on veeeeeeeeery long and multiple landings. I was excited at the beginning but after a few weeks when the the fatigue set in I found myself unable to land. I begged for breaks and when I got them I realised that the landings got better. It however eventually got out of hand when I realised that the airport was open 24 hours a day and the management insisted on landing at all waking hours................ I asked for my exclusive rights to be revoked and other airlines allowed to operate there only so that I could get a break but the management could hear none of it and insisted that I had been making other landings elsewhere which was incorrect but so as not to suffer the accusation in vain I actually did land elsewhere and......... long story. I was young and foolish!!!! I think some airports are built in with excess capacity and need to be operated by several airlines.[/quote]

...Also dont engage the landing gear soon after take off. 5 minutes into the flight from Kisumu to Nairobi, how do you start thinking of landing?. Some men are known to do this! You will only crash land. Once airborne, listen to how the aircraft is responding, move with it. Establish some kind of dialogue. Also chukua msafiri uanze kusoma, kunywa hio kahawa na geki, listen to music etc. Don't put all your thoughts on the aircraft. When it is 10 minutes into landing, engage the landing gear. Again listen to how it responds...if it is not ready disengage the landing gear and do afew rounds in Nairobi. Can decide to go as far as Kitui. When you are cleared to land, do it with a bang...

....ooohhh I need a break...See you guys in three weeks!!!

shhhhhh this is for Wazua men only.Have you ever had an abortive takeoff.i.e the airport is there but the aeroplane is not ready to take off from the runway.

A study in UK shows that 1 in every 10 Pilots (men )experience this.

How can one deal with abortive take off?

You need to quit that airline 24hrs flying without a co-pilot/auto pilot will kill you with fatigue.

@kusadikika
The trick is to do snap checks before flying check out all the sensitive parts do that for kido 15 minutes remember to take it slow when you and the passenger cannot take it any longer start the engine and cruise slowly dont rush.you will be amazed how the flight becomes enjoyable and the landing becomes so smooth and satisfying.

NOTE:Dont rush take your time to know the plane and the passenger.
