There’s got to be one day of good weather amongst those days, surely ?!

Right. Full speed ahead on heli lessons

Of course, Mr Weather may disagree !!

Congrats to my main instructor (Steve) who passed his Instrument Rating this week, despite horrendous weather on the day in question !!

Been as busy as a busy thing that’s very busy indeed

And can’t see it getting any less busy over the next couple of weeks. :-(

With a bit of luck, my busy-ness will subside in time for Steve returning from his IR rating. Fingers crossed !

Second Mock Tests Done

Human Factors 88%
Radiotelephony 86%

Now, just need some good weather and a day with no appointments to get my flying fix and some exams out of the way (hopefully!)

Sod’s Law

The only day I can fit some flying in this week is tomorrow and the forecast – HEAVY RAIN !!!

No doubt, next week, when I can fly most days, Typhoon Tommy will hit the UK ;-)

No Flying Today

Scott, the instructor, off to Carlisle to do some commercial work :-(

Have booked for monday and tuesday next week.

How Bizarre !

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Been prepping for the next exams (Human Performance & Communications).

Mock Test Results are in…….

Human Performance = 67.6%
Communications = 67.7%

.1% of a difference !

Both are fails, so more work needed.

I had forgot that it’s my wife’s birthday tomorrow (OUCH!), so tomorrow’s lesson is a no-go. Ringing on thursday/friday mornings to see if they can fit me in. Fingers crossed. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

Back from a week in Rhodes

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Great break. If heli lessons were in Rhodes, it would be a lesson a day.

Sadly, it’s British weather that is key. Next lesson booked for Wednesday when I’m hoping to do some exams too. Fingers crossed !
