Post Astraeus Cadets - an update

As I type I am shattered after a night Athens there and back.

Line training is gathering pace now, no need for a safety pilot, lots of flights over the next couple of weeks.

Just like any form of flying, the more you learn the more you realise that there is to learn, every flight is a real challenge with new discussion points, features and hurdles to overcome.

I just did my first real low vis approach into LGW - I've done low vis approaches in senecas etc but in a 73 the transition from instruments to visual is very dramatic, the ground seems to come up very quickly indeed, a real adrenaline shot!!! All that came after dodging the thunderstorms climbing out of Greece - an eventful flight to say the least

On a rest day today, might have a quiet beer early evening ish but need to get to bed early for tomorrow morning's Faro flight.

It's all go...wouldn't have it any other way.
