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...
