Another day full of studying. Arrived at 08.30. Got out to have lunch with a french CHC guy. Got back and studied some more. Then we had ground school at around 18.00 to 20.00. Got home around 20.30. It's almost 22.00 now. In the morning I did some R22 questionnaires, which is basically a bunch of questions (on paper) that you have to find the answer to (an open book quiz if you prefer). They are designed for you to get you to learn more about the helicopter you will be flying, while looking things up. Again, when you're up there, there is no time to take out your manual.
Next up was ground school preparation followed by ground school. Today was the first day of navigation and we learned about latitude and longitude, variation and deviation, true course, true heading, etc, ...
It's to prep yourself for a subject because when you get the actual subject you will already have absorbed part of the subject, which makes things easier in class. I mean you pick up on stuff easier.
Will be doing my first flight somewhere next week. Got to get my technical specs memorized first.
Got my foam roller delivered today, again some weard looks along with 'hey, what you got there ?'. After which I promptly unpacked it and had guy lay down on ir that had spinal issues from when he was a kid (high shock absorption while mountain biking). He had a decompression table at home (from which you hang upside down) but said this worked well and didn't get that much blood into his head.
Okay, long post. Going to bed, workout tomorrow.
Will only be posting 1 picture a day on the photo blog from now on. It takes me too long to load more up.
