am After two days in the simulator I get frustrated. Not everything is possible in semi-annual training and check desired. The feeling is known. Wild fluttering butterflies in the stomach ask reproachfully you "Why do not you just ...?". But in the aftermath, we are always smarter and would do us some technical problems, hints and checklists much easier.
two days in the torture case of expanding our horizons in every respect professionally and personally. Here and there they stumble send a trainer, who frustrated us quick prayer to be artificial sky. Maybe it even at my age that makes me create the appearance of some more instructors. Anyone who thinks he knows everything better, makes the lives of others belonging difficult. Who has the feeling that his views were the only saving is already almost unbearable. Then, if such persons with carefree self, current procedures are spontaneously stir up with their own ideological position, a training unit deteriorates rapidly once the turbulent amateur theater, not to say to the monkey theater, sometimes with tragic, sometimes with comic Character.
The Copi and I are easy to retrieve. My British colleague has proven to be an extremely experienced pilot. Former pilot with the Royal Air Force. Flight instructor on the F4 Phantom and Tornado. Three years service with the German Air Force instruction. Weapons control expert. Squadron Leader. His entry into the line flying was late and brought him to Thomas Cook Airlines and Virgin Atlantic a year ago in the Middle East. 47 Lenze under his belt, gray streaked hair. Flyingwise strong, a great cockpit colleague who always thinks that supports active communication gaps and me as captain, even in complex situations can not let you down.
undermine course, we during the two days in the simulator with minor and major mishaps. Formula 1 drivers also create less than 30 laps without error in one piece. But ultimately, we succeed every time to pull his head out of the loop. The team plays and contributes in almost any situation.
The training environment, I experience different here than in Switzerland. The differences between the instructors are striking. Similarly, self-image, their appearance, their strategies. In simulator checks all carried items are evaluated. In general, the check pilot a S sets into the appropriate field. "S" for Satisfactory . Standard average. Yes, not too good, my dear little worse. Differentiation is difficult. Rounding out the quality with the simple remark "Check completed to satisfactory standards. Minor items debriefed. " Whatever that means. Hopefully we were debrieft . And hopefully there were only minor items .
I have already received more meaningful qualifications. My Copi with security too. But whatever. The system is satisfied, the check passed, extend the license for another six months.
