Well its been a long time since my last flight. In February I got the start of a never ending series of colds, and also conjunctivitis from some school visits I had to make for work. With the colds affecting my ears and the eye infection, it meant three months with no flying!
With all that I finally rang Soloflight and talked to Mel about restarting my training. With Mike Beecroft the only other full time instructor now left for a new job with British Airways flying a De Havilland Dash 8, lucky guy! Richard was being worked hard so had took a much deserved holiday. This meant no flying so it was time to hit the books. We booked an exam for two weeks time (this Saturday, 24th). Human Performance and Limitations! The book was actually quite interesting, how the eyes, ears and brain all work.
It was with some degree of nerves that Saturday came round. Due to my Nan dying the week before I had not revised like I should but had hit the books hard the last two days. I jumped on the BMW R1100S motorcycle and was soon at Soloflight. The exam went well and I was hopeful that I had passed.
That afternoon I phoned Mel to get my results. 95% a pass and a good one, two exams now passed! Now to start studying for the weather exam!
