Exam Results!

We got our module one exam results last week and I'm pleased to say that I passed all of them with an average score of 93.5%. I woke up on the morning of the results day quite nervous and they kept us waiting until midday before the emails slowly started coming through, it turned out to be worth the wait though! Still on a high from our scores, we all decided on the next logical step - CP trip to the pub. Well that was the days work out the window and we had a good afternoon in the sun enjoying a few well deserved pints.

That means I can focus all my attention on the module 2 subjects, of which we have 8 to sit in just 10 weeks time, then it's hopefully onto New Zealand and all of the flying which is what we're really here for! So far module 2 hasn't been too bad, all of the subjects are more practical and involve things we'll probably use throughout our career. There are a lot of calculation questions, I find it a bit more interesting than just learning facts although there are a lot of formulas to memorise. For General Navigation, or GNav, we got a copy of a Jeppesen airway manual, its quite interesting to look through all of the charts contained in the manual and we will be looking at them in more detail next week. Another piece of kit used in GNav is the CRP5 flight computer, or whizz wheel as its known. It looks a bit intimidating at first but once you get the hang of how to use it, it doesn't seem so difficult.. I just need to have a bit more practice with it!

We started Air Law today which is basically just learning facts off question bank from what I've heard. Exciting stuff.  After Air Law, there's only 4 subjects left for us to complete the 14 ATPL exams! Still can't quite believe how fast it's all gone so far!
