Just a few reminders before we commence our flight. Kindly take note of the things below.

⬩ This work had completed its thorough editing, but still might contain typographical and grammatical errors. Kindly bear with me.
⬩ The story is written in Taglish(a mixture of English and Tagalog). May have technical terms and aviation jargon, but I'll try to discuss it in the simplest of terms.
⬩The story could go technical most of the time, and having a character who observes details like some Sherlock Holmes, then sorry for being boring most (if not, all) the time. Because those technical experience could be told through a manual or training book, but not very tied with reality that you might think they are not possible; but they are possible, hence the technicalities in this story.
⬩ Kindly avoid mentioning other stories or characters in this story. Like, "Oh! I remember this one!" or "It's like this story that I've read before!" There are too many stories out there, and I could swear that I haven't read majority of them. I don't often read stories in Wattpad, since I prefer dystopian novels. Just because I am writing an aviation-related story doesn't mean that I've copied the idea or whatsoever, and please don't put the blame on me just because you still can't get over with the last story you've read.
⬩ The story is based on my own knowledge of how the aviation industry in the Philippines is. Being a pilot myself (currently a Private Pilot License holder, as of first writing this; and now a Commercial Pilot License holder, Instrument Rated, and an Airbus A320 First Officer type-rated, as of this latest edit), I know the experience firsthand. If you also have an experience of your own, I tell you that flying schools have different approaches of training. Everything is also twice and thrice confirmed; not just through internet researches but books, primarily of Oxford Aviation Academy EASA ATPL books series 1 to 14 (See more in: Sources & Credits). With that being said...
⬩ This story is meant to also break myths, false facts, and even a few dogma that the public knows about aviation. It is a way for me to reach out to readers the reality of flying in the Philippines.
⬩ Feel free to drop comments and likes. I'd loved to hear your reactions.
⬩ Flight Plan is planned to be part of a series. Positive reviews and high demand of readers will determine the continuation for future books.
