Bloody hell...

Yesterday IF2 sortie was cancelled again. If you guys have been following my posts all these while, you may have guessed the reason of the cancellation. No idea? Clues. Two words. B_ _ W_ _ _ H _ _R.

After cancelled the sortie at 1700hours, me and my batch mates went for navigation briefing to learn about how to fill in the Flight Plan, Nav Log, Load&Balance sheet and calculation of Take-off & Landing distance. The briefing went on for two hours, and we straight went back to school for another briefing for RTOL examination.

Correction regarding RTOL acronym. RTOL actually stands for Radio Telephony Oral License.

By the way, I think I mentioned in my previous blog that the RTOL exam is probably on the 15th Mac, right? But hey, guess what, it's today! D-A-M-N. And we only had the briefing yesterday!! According to the briefing, the exam is actually a simulation of RT calls for a navigation sortie from Lgk to Alor Setar. I haven't done my Navigation sortie yet, and that is the same happens to my other batch mates. Now you know why the LAST MINUTE BRIEFING was done.

The RT calls for navigation are a little different from what I did previously as they involves new things such as reporting positions, establish communication with different control towers, the procedures to be followed in the air, the distress call, the urgency calls, transmission blind calls, etc. Alot to be done!

But luckily I prepared early by asking the seniors and my instructor about the RT calls. Although until this very minute, I am still a little confused here and there, but I think it shouldn't be a problem to pass. Sounds confident, eh? Passing marks is 70% by the way. Time check now is 1145hours. My exam will start around 1300hours or 1400hours, with nearly 2 hours to prepare.


And I am still here blogging? =P


After exam still got solo sortie, hopefully the weather gonna be fine. Gotta go now, guys. Wish me luck! =D

Adiós!! ~Spanish word for "goodbye"~
