Long day today, had an EPQ first thing ( I passed, yay!) Then went into our formal brief and then went from their. I actually got to fly today and it looks like the weather should hold for this entire week for once. So I expect a lot of flying.
After not flying since last monday, I didn't do very well in the air today, I'm screwing up my break and perch. (Pattern turns when coming into final.) I'll get a second shot at them tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after and so on and so forth. I'll get it eventually will just take a bit of work.
For those of you that have been asking this is what a typical day consists of for pilot training.
0530 - Wake Up
0530 - 0615 - Eat breakfast get ready for the day etc.
0615 - 0645 - Check weather and do final studying for either EPQ, standup, or flight
0645 - 0715 - Go to work, get online and check for any errors in the gradebook or changes in the flight and get ready for the formal brief
0715 - 0730 - Get into the flight room and get the formal brief put together and on the screen
0730 - 0800 - Formal brief, critiques of formal brief
0800 - 0900 - Usually we do a EPQ or standup here, get start briefing if we have early takeoff times
0930 - 1000 - Brief the flight with our IP
1000 - 1030 - Step to the jet with gear on and get through all associated checks, optimally by the end of this window we would be holding short by the active runway ready to take off
1030 - 1200 - Fly your flight
1200 - 1230 - Debrief your flight
1230 - 1300 - Get lunch if you can, or skip it if you have a flight next block and you can't spend the time to eat because you are getting ready for it.
1300 - 1330 - Brief the flight with the IP for the flight
1330 - 1400 - Step to the jet
1400 - 1530 - Fly Sortie
1530 - 1600 - Debrief
1600 - 1730 - Usually we do some time of flight related teaching here, can be anything from shotgun questions, pattern walks, standups, or other related items.
1730 - 1900 - Either more flight related items, or we go over to the CAI lab to do some self instruction for our next academic test
1900 - 1915 - Get released for the day
1915 - 2000 - Get dinner, shower, and chill for a bit
2000 - 2230 - Study the material for the next day, whatever that may be
2230 - Hopefully go to bed, unless their is a big test the next day and then sleep time will be cut as needed
2230 - 0530 - Hopefully, sleep, but that never seemst to work out quite as planned.
wash and repeat for the rest of the week. but throw in a gradebook check everyday at some point, random off the fly quizzing and always being on key to do something and then you get a normal week.
Okay that is a typical day, hope that gives you an idea of what I'm doing here. And with that I'm off to study, have a great night everyone.
