Finally the day has come. I was up at 6 am this morning. I had two slices of toast for breakfast (1st mistake). I was at the flight school at around 7 am. I had arranged to meet the examiner at around 10 am. By this time, I was a little hungry, the temperature was creeping up to…
Today was the day that I would complete the course. Started out at 6 am again, up to the flight school at 6.45. I had planned to sit in the Arrow for about 30 minutes, but it was still in maintenance from the cowling coming off in flight the day before. The FAA had been looking…
Good afternoon, Well, today was supposed to be a busy day. Up at 6 am, got the school at 6:30. I was scheduled to fly 4 hours. I got my route to Apopka planned, and we were in the air by 8. We did our navigation to Apopka. Bill diverted me to Skinner, then I got another…
Hi all, Logged 2.0 hours today, bringing my total up to 21 hours. I arrived at the flight school around 10.30. I was due to fly at 12, so Bill said we would go when I was ready and get in the air a little early. I also got a reply from the CAA today about…
Woke up early this morning! It was bad as I wasn’t flying until 16:30, so I had breakfast and sat outside in the sunshine. It was 22 Celsius at 9 am here. I went over my procedures and nav methods. I went and had another look at the airshow today. Parking was chaos, I had…
Whoa! This blog is hard work! But it keeps me entertained 🙂 Bad start to the day: the part didn’t arrive until 12, and there was a CPL skills test already booked in the aircraft so that had priority. We didn’t get going until about 6 pm. We were suppose to go at 3! …
First flight in the Arrow today – what a nice airplane! Very heavy and much more stable than the Cadet. Bill briefed me on the engine, and we were on our way. A few little differences, but I have practiced them all before in the Seminole. Stuff like gear and propellers were suddenly much more…
Hi again, Day 9 and in total I’ve logged 13.6 hours. The day started FREEZING at 6 am. I was up and got to the flight school around 6.30. Aircraft preflighted and we were on our way to Mid Florida (it’s an airport, not just the middle of Florida). Route started out great, on track most…
Hello, Very good day today. I logged 3.2 hours, bringing my total up to 8 hours. I was up at 8 am, arrived at the flight school at 9. We had a long brief this morning on how to use the JAA Navigation Method with Elizabeth. It made a lot of sense as I didn’t…
Hi everyone, A bit of a disappointing 2 days. The instructor yesterday was sick so I didn’t get to fly. This had a knock-on effect for today, therefore I only did a 1.5 hour flight. I was with a new instructor called Elizabeth. She was instructing PPLs when I was here last in November, and since then she now does CPL instruction…
