Well, what to say - it's been like swimming through treacle the last couple of weeks!
Since the katana fleet got grounded around 2-3 weeks back, just before which I had done my first "intro to nav" navigation flight, We got type rated on cessnas instead... this involved the completion of an Essential Knowledge Quiz (basically an exam type dealio with questions relating to the aircraft type) and two conversion flights. I got these done in just over a week, which I thought was slow progress for what were supposedly high priority flights... just to prove to me what slow progress meant however, New Zealand decided to become exceedingly unco-operative in the weather department just as I had finished the conversion flights and tried to pick up where I left off with the next Nav Flight which also happens to be the check flight which you need to pass in order to be unleashed on your first solo Nav.... Booked in each day monday to thursday and each day the weather laughed at my best laid plans. The weather finally picked up today but, of course, it was my instructors only day off this week! The weather looks good for the next few days, at least in so far as you can trust the forecasts here, and i'm booked in for tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed!
In other news, most of CP42 have buggered off home for their ATPL exams so comet block will never be the same again! CP49 should be arriving in the next week and will be taking their rooms I imagine. I can't believe 49 are arriving already - when we got here in december CP39 seemed so very far ahead for us poor CP44 newbies!
