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…
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).

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…
Hello all, Glad to see the blog views have managed to hit 420 so quick! I will have to stop hitting refresh over and over. Well, today was much better. We briefed we would go to Jerez today, so we completed the Jerez 1C Standard Instrument Departure. Wind was about 20 knots off the runway,…
Good evening all, I managed to clock up a grand total of 5 hours in the sim today. The quality of my flying seems do go down after the third hour, so I only have 3 hours tomorrow. The walk to the school was a killer, it was 35 Celsius and in mid afternoon, the sun is pointing…
