Lesson booked for today is no go

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Weather looked to be perfect a couple of days ago, but visibility atrocious. Can’t see across our road ! Fingers crossed for next week. Might try and get the radiotelephony practical exam done, dreading that !

Mr Wind is out in force today

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I checked the METAR/TAF at 7am and it looked “Go Go Go”. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be…….Mr Wind is showing his face today.

So, no flying until next week (weather permitting). Need to get stuck into “Human Factors and Pilot Performance” in preparation for the next exam, but it’s not the funnest topic in the world to motivate myself to read.

Come on David !

Sadly no lesson

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

There were no lessons booked in for me today, despite me booking them last week. Wasn’t until just before I left that I realised I had been booked in for next tuesday and wednesday at 2pm :-(

But, I’m still glad I went, ‘cos I took TWO exams !!!

I had been really struggling with Principles of Flight and Performance Planning. I now realise why these subjects had took me so long !! They were TWO Exams !!! Silly me !!!!! For some reason, I thought they were one.

So, I took the first one, dreading a near fail, and achieved an 82.5%. When I’d done that and the realisation of there was no lesson booked came, I thought I’d do the other exam too and got 90%. Well happy with that !!

Which leaves me only 2 exams – yay !!! Human Performance (how drunk you’re allowed to be to fly ;-) and Radio Telephony Communications.

Really pleased at getting these 2 exams behind me, because it means I can ratchet up the rate of ppl lessons and make the most of the rest of the Summer.

Unfortunately, next week, I can only get one lesson in because it’s jam packed with kp stuff. But full steam ahead after that.
