Time ... I could use a bit more of that ! This week we started with the basic flying courses (BFC). What's this about? Well, to explain it on a simple way: take flight simulator 2004, a yoke, pedals and a throttle panel and learn to fly (using a pitch-power table). It isn't that easy as you might think: you have to do everything very precise and fast enough, and do 2 things at the same time: bank & climb/descent. So, while you use your left hand to control the yoke (turn, climb), you use you right hand to move the throttle (climb => RPM increase of the engine to maintain the same speed).
Besides that, of course, the other courses continue. At the end of the month we'll have the last progress check of Electrics (AC) ... I'll be happy when that part is over :-).
