Got a partial pass on my GFT last Friday, did the nav Blackpool-Sedburgh diverted to Ulverston and then to Stalmine turned out over Morecambe bay and that was it a white out,spent 15-20 mins flying on instruments alone it was exhausting and actually made me feel a bit sick ,we loomed over the coast at Fleetwood, and i was honestly relieved when he said theres no way we can do anything else in this.Vis was terrible we just coasted and got the flapless landing which got that out of the way, hope to complete the rest on Tuesday,this flight took me to 45 hrs.
So its fingers crossed for Tuesday, three circuits, stalls,steepturns, slow flight and the emergencys and bobs your uncle fannys your aunt.
