So this is me
My name is Markus Andersson. I'm a 34 year old dreamer that have realized that life is too short for not fulfilling these dreams. One of my dreams is to learn to maneauver a helicopter so that I can fly whenever and wherever I want. I will here share my thoughts and reflections and hopefully I can inspire you to fulfill your dreams.
I just love the web! Today I found a perfect summary of the ATPL theory course, thank you Rob Groothuis for that piece of paper! Well structured, divided in each subject. For those of you that are interested to take part of it, just click the link above (links to the pdf document) and you’ll save some time when preparing the exams.
Thanks Rob!
FPP (Flight Planning and Performance) - 95 %
AGN (Air craft General Knowledge) - 85 %
That means that I have passed all the 9 qualifying tests at school, great! Tomorrow I’ll write 4 of them for LFV. If, if if I pass them I have 3 more before I’m totally done with the theory.
Status right now:
Accumulated flight time: 10 hours
COM: QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
HP: QT (PASSED) LFV (PASSED)
AL: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
OP: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
AGN: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
FPP: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
PF: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
MET: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
NAV: QT (PASSED) LFV (NOT DONE)
Now it’s time to chill for the rest of the day!
Yes! Did my first exam at LFV this morning, in Radio Communications. 20 questions in 30 minutes, a bit trickier than I thought, not because it was difficult more that I realised that I should have studied some parts more in detail. It’s always difficult to know what parts to cover when you at the test only get parts of whats covered during the course. It will be 10 times worse on wednesday when we have the qualifying tests in Navigation and Meteorology. In other words you know what I’ll be doing this weekend!
One part that is more MET related that I wasn’t sure of today was the “sky covered with clouds” differencies:
Need to get back to the MET and NAV studies!
Yesterday I had my first exam at the flightschool, the subject was “Radio Communications”. 20 questions, 15 to pass and I had 17, easy peasy! It was actually a bit more difficult than I thought.
Amazing, I realized that it was about 10 years since i did my last exam at the Univeristy. At that time I said, NEVER AGAIN! But here I am, having about 18 exams to pass before I get my PPL (H). The process is that we first write a test in one of the 9 subjects at the theory school.
These are the subjects that you study during your PPL:
If we pass the test at the theory school we can then write the test for the authorities. I’ll try to do that next week with the COM, wish me good luck!
