Well that was a good day! I'm glad to say, I passed the exam: Human Factors and Performance. Wasn't too difficult and luckily, I could get through a lot of it on old AS Level Biology knowledge. Never knew that would come in handy. Anyway, Liv (girlfriend) and I went for a beer this evening to celebrate before having to start on the new book, Radiotelephony, for the next exam. I'm trying to give myself a week to do each exam (4 left) as I'm hoping I can finish this license in around a month. Lets see if the weather wants to comply...
Also went on my second navigation exercise today to....... Sheffield. I actually managed to get the route plan right as well- making sure that I compensated for wind correctly by bugging 2 separate instructors to check! Not only was the plan good but with good weather and little turbulence, Jay (instructor) and I managed to keep well on the time schedule- within 10 seconds or so on the way back. Happy days. Was good to feel less nervous about the flight too: it gives you so much more thinking time to look for landmarks and generally make sure you're flying well. We had excellent views today on the way back- great sunset but didn't take any photos as I was- as you could imagine- rather preoccupied. I'll try and sneak a couple of shots tomorrow. On the landing front, much better. Thought about yesterday's and definitely improved on that. A good landing always makes me feel better for the rest of the day so...
Smiles all round! :-D
Zero to ATPL. How hard can it be?
