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…
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…
Hi all, After four days off, I was finally ready to get back in the sim this morning. Arrived at the school at 12:00 for my first session. The first was only going to be two hours, instead of the usual three. We started off with the checklist, calling Malaga for start and clearance. We were allocated…
Good evening all, Not much to say, but I’m wrecked after a second 3 hour session. We did the entire procedure today starting on the ramp in Malaga, getting start, clearance, taxi for the Vibas 1A SID. After MGA VOR we were cleared direct to AMR, which is the Almeria VOR. Its a 100 mile trip…
Hello everyone, Another 30 degree day here today with not a single cloud. Scheduled to fly at 1 o’clock. Arrived at the school at 12:30 to meet Jeronimo and got the brief that we would be starting to fly a standard instrument departure and how to brief, fly and communicate with ATC. Started up the…
Hello from sunny Spain! All I’m hearing is how miserable the weather is at home! Its 33 Celsius today and I’m stuck in the sim. Scheduled to start at 3 today, but arrived at 2.30 as per the schools policy. We had a pre-flight brief about what the flight would involve. I was shown the 3 holding…
