There I was walking through the departure hall of Gate 32. A massive airliner jet was waiting for me to get my hand on and start flying it in a miles journey. Entering the cockpit of the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-212 jet flight SQ115 to New York John F Kennedy Airport via Frankfurt. It is an exciting moment as it was my first time to fly this new jet as the captain. Today we will be flying from Singapore to Frankfurt with a distance of more or less 4,000 miles and a little over 12 hours of flight time. I sat on the left side of the plane, and it felt great because you know that you are in charge of the beast. I opened my logbook and started my pre-departure check. My co-pilot sitting right next to me was also helping me check the pressure of certain areas of the plane. The Fuel is filled up to last the entire journey and more, all the display monitors are functioning properly, and all three of the APU are working properly. I looked at the camera monitor of the wings and tail and there seem to be no problems at all. After checking the cockpit panels, wings, and tails of the plane it is time for me to walk outside and check the landing gears and if everything is sealed and operating properly. I walked down, and looked around at each of the landing gears, and the landing gears light to see if there was any abnormality. All seem to be working properly, so I walked back up to the cockpit and get prepared for the long flight. I sat back down on my chair, buckled my seat belt, and wait till the head flight attendance walk in and tell me that everything in the main cabin is ready for boarding. The Flight attendant walked in and informed that they are ready to go. So I contacted operations to tell the gate attendant that we are ready for boarding. After forty minutes of boarding, gate attendant informed us that every passenger is on board, handed all necessary paperwork to flight crew, and doors were shut for an on time departure to
