Hi all, Almost 850 viewers already! Well, I was flying at 8 am this morning, and my skills test was scheduled for 5 pm. I met the examiner at the airport at 4 pm, with all my documents: Licence, Medical, Weight & Balance, Performance Calculations, Logbook and the CAA forms. He gave me a route…
Hi All, Well this was going to be a long day, so I’ll make the first post as brief as possible. Arrived at the airport for 8 am, filed our plan to Granada Airport, Almeria airport and back to Malaga. Did some approaches into Granada, ILS, VOR and over to Almeria. Seville Control told us to…
Another early start this morning. Got up at 6:30 to get the bus. I arrived early to get the flight plan in. It was to Almeria again. I sent away the flight plan and shortly after got all the NOTAMs, weather and did out my route plan. The instructor arrived and I was then let out…
Well, my days in Spain are drawing nearer and nearer to an end! Thank God, all this sun and warm weather is taking the better out of me. Not! Early start this morning, up at 6.30 to get the 7.10 bus to the airport. The bus was 10 minutes late, typical! It’s a 40 minute…
Hello everyone. As you will read from last night’s post I didn’t get back until late and was flying at 8.30 this morning. I set the alarm for 7 and I rolled out of the bed with one eye open. I missed the 7.45 bus so it meant getting the 8 o’clock bus and walking…
Hi everyone, as I’m sure all the regular readers have been aware I haven’t posted in some time. I was told by the school that all of their multi-engine airplanes were gone tech (three of them). So that left me counting my fingers for four days. Today was Interesting to say the least. It started out meeting my…
Last sim session today! I had 2 hours 10 minutes to complete. We started with the startup, calling ground for clearance to Seville. We were given the Seville 1C departure from Malaga Airport and cleared to 10,000 ft. Once in the air, approach control gave us some vectors, as the standard departure is some 40 miles…
Finally, some normal landings! I was hoping to finish all of my sim time today, but I had almost 7 hours to do, and I just was not able for it! Instead we did five hours today and I will do two hours Monday morning, followed by my first flight Monday evening. I was flying with Gloria today.…
Another busy day. I arrived at the flight school early again today, 9 am, for my 10 am slot. This gave me time to prepare the route, the Standard Instrument Departure we would use, and the route we would take and the Standard Terminal Arrival Route to our destination. We planned to fly to Granada,…
Hi all, Early sim session this morning, I was at the school for 9 am, which involved getting up at 7 am. Thankfully, it was only 26 degrees when I was walking there. More approaches! More holds! More emergencies! So, we took off from Malaga airport in the ALSIM-200, configured to a Beechcraft Duchess 76. It…
