Manoj “under the hood” … In the classroom! What a tool!

Today was another (FTD - Flight Training Device) in the Frasca B 142. It sucks doing some stalls and unusual attitude flight recovery w/o feeling the plane but you have to get use to it. Didn’t have to wear the stupid instrument goggles though. Got to do a DME 16 Arc into Daytona Beach along with an ILS approach to 7L. We did another approach into Flagler County Airport using the VOR-A and then just going missed. Instrument flying is where its at I tell you.

Steamed broc. White jasmine rice, sausage, light ceasar salad!

In the rain and greased the landing. I mean my instructor looked at me, and quietly said, “Like butter!” I have to admit, I was so happy of my landing that I almost forgot to do the after landing checklist. It was just jaw droppingly sweet! I also got to fly underneath some crazy clouds with some turbulence and rain. The rain was cool. You could actually see just spoltches around the Palm Coast Area where it was raining and where it wasn’t. It was definitely a great day.

Now I have to finish my report on Airbus and their A380.

You might be asking, what the heck is this? Well, it is a Spinach w/ mandarin oranges, tomatoes and a blasamic vinagrette along with Honey Turkey, Roast Beef sandwich on toasted wheat. I have to lose weight and look great before my birthday!

It was in the FRASCA. I can’t complain. It was somewhat necessary I guess to learn how to scan the instruments properly. Jen is a great instructor, so far so good. Manoj and I do have some work cut out for us and I should probably get started on the reviewing. I haven’t done any basic maneuvers (slow flight, stalls, etc) in quite a bit.

I started on my presentation too. I chose to write about the Airbus aircraft family concentrating on the famous A380 Double Decker. Check it out! http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a380/ and then just navigate yourself to the A380 page. Boeing definitely does have it cut out for them competition wise.

I did poorly in the new CATS test center on campus. I am sad to say that I scored a 92%. This course was my lowest so far but I will not let that get to me and try to be even better in the flight stage.

First day of Instrument Flying is today! Should be fun! There are a lot of thunderstorms though. We might just end up in a simulator. shucks.
