Meteorology

I was not looking forward to today. I had attempted my Meterorology exam earlier in the year and failed by two questions. I though I knew the subject well but there was a couple of areas that let me down. This time I knew the subject inside out, and on mock papers had been scoring over 90% every day for the last week.

I had remembered from the previous attempted that there might be a few calculations to do and had asked my instructor if a calculator was allowed. Unfortunately not, but you could take your whiz wheel in (Navigation Slide Rule). At least it had the conversions for fahrenheit to centigrade.

As normal there were a number of questions that could be interpreted in different ways but I thought I had done enough to pass.

Richard marked my paper straight away and announced my score, 90%. The hard work had paid off. Another one off my list. Now what to start studying next. Navigation or the airplane technical? At least it would keep me busy while waiting for some decent weather to attempt my first solo cross country.
