When the wind comes from the east ...

... we normally have some nice & dry weather, landings are performed on runway 02 & take offs on runway 07R here in Brussels. A good moment to take my camera once again to school and take some pictures before start of the courses (1PM, Airframes and systems).







The one from Brussels Airlines is the newest addition to their A319 fleet!
Tomorrow my flight mate Olivier has session 4 and 5 in the simulator, I'll have session 5 (about the same as session 4: the basic flying skills, steep turns, configuration changes, and an introduction to the precision approach, thus an ILS approach, but now with the correct call-outs during the whole procedure). Those sessions are quit intensive and certainly not easy, but a good concentration during those sessions and some more "deskflying" after the sessions give me a satisfactory result.

Next week we'll have our last theoretical course, so I'm about to start studying for the final examens in june. It's a lot, and in the meantime we also have those sim sessions ... but once again, the payback afterwards is it worth!

cheers
