Back to real flying...

Since my last post I have ditched the CPL and changed onto the IR due to some very poor weather. I will move back to the CPL afterwards but in the meantime, I have now amassed 32.5hrs on the FNPT 1&2.
This consists of 10hrs on the FLPT1, as seen in the last post, and the remainder in the FNPT2:

Although this sim actually has graphics, they are only used for about 20secs at each end of the flight. The rest of the time the screen is just blank and you are flying on instruments.



Today was the first day back in the aircraft. I will have 20hrs to complete over the next month and then it's onto the IR test. Every time we fly, the instructor puts up screens so that P1 can't see out, but P2 can. It looks something like this:


















Today was just general handling, stalls and unusual attitudes, just designed to familiarise us with the aircraft again.
Tomorrow is NDB Holds, NDB Approaches and ILS Approaches. Should be fun.

I'll get the GoPro in action for some video fun...

Until next time..
