Those 2 aspects of flying keep coming back. Helicopter pilots
really are a different breed. Trouble can come in many ways at any time and reaction time is limited. Accidents usually happen when the mind wanders.
So those 2 items are high on my things to focus on. Studying still fills a big part of my day and I hope to be finishing the biggest part of it somewhere next months, which gives me room to study other subjects necessary for my job, but which aren't part of the curriculum here.
As far as flying goes, things are progressing nicely and we started practicing autorotations this week (translation: engine failures). A lot of stuff happening in the cockpit in a very short time. The ground shows up, fast! Our descent rate usually lies around 1500 feet per minute. From 800ft (+/- 250 meters) you're down in approximately 30-40 seconds.
Other than that, now that I have a car, I'll be going to downtown Vancouver tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be dry. It will give me some time to relax, do some shopping, enjoy the sights and hopefully I'll finish it all off with a nice steak with french fries.
Just posted a batch of new pictures, look for more next week.
