So I gave the first formal brief this morning:

Note to self: make SURE your alarm clock will work before having to give the FIRST formal brief

Luckily, my 'wingman' came and knocked on my door before it was too late!!

More academics today. Went through navigation, using the IFG (In Flight Guide), and the procedures around here, etc... They give you a full checklist-sized IFG here, with almost everything you need for any flight planning, already bound with the little plastic rings and in sheet protectors, very nice!

Reccomendation: See if you can get one of the nice (empty) checklists before getting here, I mean the ones w/ the heavy plastic sheet protectors and the blue covers that say something like: "Flight Crew Checklist". The ones they give you are nice enough, but they use those cheap sheet protectors like you find at Office Max. CORRECTION: They have them here, but regardless, hold off on getting one. The checklists they print off (in the crappy sheet covers) are too big to fit in the nice checklist-sleeves. I have to figure out how to make it work before reccomending you buy the nice checklists...

Another one: Get a kneeboard. They sell them here if you want to get one here though, so don't be too concerned with that one.

Flight schedule came out today: 20 of 28 are flying tomorrow for their "dollar ride", and I'm one, yeah!! Supposedly the minimum proficiency required for each maneuver is "Unsat". So, you can taco EVERYTHING, and they will still tell you, "Nice job!"

Looking forward to it...

Ok, just bought the "Flight Crew Check Lists" plastic sleeve binder. Not a big deal, but do you think the pages could just be trimmed up a bit to fit the sleeves? Also, which model of Katana does Pueblo fly -- is it the DA20-A1 or the DA20-C1 model? Is there much or any significant difference between the two that you know of? Thanx.

ferraricommander is in my flight. He's right.

Unless you're flying solo, then instead of Tiger, your callsign is "Kitty". Seriously. The IPs think it's funny. And the SOF callsign is "Furball". Don't even get me started.

Yeah, that is pretty funny... Unless you're the one saying it. What does "SOF" stand for?

"Supervisor of Flying" (I think)

Whenever you go out to one of the training areas, you call "Tiger Traffic" and let them know where you are. The SOF monitors the frequency (It's an IFS IP who does it) and makes sure people are deconflicted. Also, if you have any problems or questions about regulations, you can call up "Furball" and they will answer you.
