Module 1 is drawing to a close with our last few classes in the coming days. Then it's into the mock exams over the end of next week and the beginning of the week after. Normally people would go more or less straight into the actual exams but as ours fall the other side of Christmas we have an extra two weeks to prepare for the real thing. This could be a good thing in many ways, depending on how the mocks go, though we are told by the staff that the group that has exams after Christmas always does the worst! I expect that is just a shock-tactic to discourage sitting around eating turkey and watching Dave for two weeks.
So with just Mass & Balance to go on Monday and Tuesday, we will have covered eight subjects in seven and a bit weeks. Absolutely amazing when you look at the material involved really.
This is the sum total of my paperwork (not including the 10,117 questions I have done online [NB - done, not necessarily got right!]):
(More than I got in three years at University.)
To break up all this hard work we have been treated to another session in the static 737 simulator which is always fun. It was around the time we were doing communication so we got to explore the radio systems for communication and navigation in a little more detail.
The New Forest continues to delight as well in between work sessions. Here was the scenery on an afternoon stroll the other day:
and some roadside onlookers on our way to CTC one morning:
That's about all for now but I expect the next post will be just after the real exams in January!
