Right! Lng time no update! We have all successfully passed our Multi-Engine Command Instrument Rating on the Duchess and after having a nice two-week break, we are back now doing 35 hours of ground school a week with the ATPLS. This ATPL course is expected last for approx 8-9 weeks, so it’s going to seem like forever

Subjects we have to take for ATPL are:
-Met practical
-Met Theory
-Navigation
-Flight Planning
-Instruments
-Radio Aids (RNAV)
-Radio Telephony

So far some subjects seem harder than others, hopefully we will all get through ok! What follows after this is the Jet Trainign Simulator (JTS) where we will learn about Multi-Crew Jet operations, we’re all looking forward to that!

Here’s a new video… it is all about the Tobago… Enjoy :OP

Oh, one more thing, Wilson, Andrew and Toby also passed their Mod 5 GFT… now, only Trevor, Geoff and Chris remaining… they are schedule to have their test early this week but weather is kinda bad lately… it has been postponed a few times… I hope the weather will get better so that everyone can complete their flight test and move onto Module 6. Good luck to them! Anyhow, take care for now. Ciao

As of today:

Jack, Peter, Toby and Wilson all passed their Mod 5 Hong Kong GFT flying test (Hong Kong CPL).
Andrew, Geoff, Trevor and Chris will be doing their test in the next few days. Wish them luck!

As for the Duchess, I just perform circuits today… it was an awesome aircraft to fly. Very easy to handle and very easy to land. The only thing is that it is a little bit hard to taxi but I am getting a hang of it pretty quickly. I think Jack is enjoying his time on the Duchess. Jack feels proud that he is finally flying an aircraft with more then 1 engine… also no more PFL!!! Wilson will start his Duchess tomorrow and Toby will start on Friday. This is all very exciting as we are all approaching the end of our training. Module 6 only consist of about 30.5 hours of flying & simulator time. It will goes by pretty quickly and before we know it, it will be ATPL and JTS time. Fun Fun Fun!

Flight graders, they are finally coming! All 10 of them will arrive this sunday… we heard a lot of rumors about them… aeronautical engineers, guys with CPL and frozen ATPL, more engineers… we are looking forward to meet them when they arrives. Congrats to all of them on getting this far into their interview process. Good luck!
