Skills Test Pass – Day 16 – Ormond Beach, Florida

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power15/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 15 – The 170A Flight

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power13/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 14 – More Navigation, Diversions and General Handling

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power12/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 13 – Two Days Left Before The Checkride

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power11/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 11 – A Late Start

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power10/10/2010Leave a comment

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!  …

Day 10 – First Flight in the Piper Arrow

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power08/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 9 – Finished in the Piper Cadet

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power07/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 8 – Ormond Beach, Florida – More Navigation

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power07/10/2010Leave a comment

Hi All, Another good day today. logged 3 hours 12 minutes, bringing my total up to 11 hours.   My first flight was with Elizabeth and we went to a small private airport called Reynolds. The initial navigation went great, arrived exactly on the dot. So then she gave me a diversion and I got…

Day 7 – Ormond Beach, Florida – Navigation

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power05/10/2010Leave a comment

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…

Day 6 – Ormond Beach, Florida – Delays, and a New Instructor

Commercial Pilot Licence DiaryBy Andrew Power04/10/2010Leave a comment

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…
