From the other thread I found the list of things I would like to have done this year (2004):
- ATPL Written Exams (at least the first module)
- FAA Multi Add-On
- FAA Sea Plane Rating
- Maybe an FAA CFI ticket as well
- A shed load of hours...
- Lots of time in America
- Find an N reg aeroplane to buy a share in...
- Above all else... safe flying.
Well taking the above list into consideration, I have acheived not much in the way of what I had planned for this year.
- I've enrolled and studying the 1st module of the ATPL Exams
- Added a Multi Addon to my FAA CPL/IR back in July
- Didn't have time whilst in Florida for a Sea Plane Rating.
- The CFI ticket went out of the window when I started the ATPL
- Flew about 100 hours in total.
- Only 20 hours or so in the USA.
- Haven't bought a share in an N reg aeroplane.
- Yes most of my flying has been safe... I hope!
- Attempted to land a tailwheel with varying degrees of success (or rather failure).
- Changed base airports from Cardiff to Swansea.
For next year (2005):
- Most importantly I will pass all 14 of the ATPL exams (fingers crossed).
- Complete the conversion course to JAA CPL/IR and FI(R).
- Will visit Jack Browns for an FAA Sea Plane Rating.
- Haven't used my Northern England chart yet so will do before the new one is due out...
- Would like 700 hours (minimum for Single Pilot IFR Air Taxi work) by the end of 2005... only 100 to go.
Oh well I've gone and said what I hope will happen... most of last years didn't come true... hopefully this lot will instead!!!
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.
