Day 2 – Aerodynamics, Malaga – Three Hours Groundschool and Sim

  3. Day 2 – Aerodynamics, Malaga…

Early start this morning. I arrived at the school at 08:30 to meet with the Instructor. I met with Gloria, who will be my sim instructor and Arturo who will be the instructor in the aircraft.

Arturo did 3 hours of ground school with us on the Instrument Rating, Performance, Weight & Balance and all that good stuff. He then brought us to the GA terminal at Malaga Airport to show us the procedures for filing flightplans and how to pre-flight the aircraft.

Getting back to the school, I was back with the sim instructor Gloria. I did 3 hours in the sim just getting used to the procedures. We did some takeoffs, turns, speed changes, stalls, emergencies and circuits. The graphics in the sim are poor, but the cockpit is almost an exact replica of the BE76 Duchess.

More for tomorrow!
