Fever subsided.

Recovering almost 100%.

By the way, last Monday's Nav test result is out. I thought I did badly especially in my Nav plotting. What came out during the test was not even taught by the instructor!! Bloody hell. But I still managed to get 83%. Lucky me.

Out of all the subjects, this Nav Plotting subject is the only subject which I have no idea what I am doing. Now already enter end of May, and with the syllabus of Nav Plotting coming to an end, I can't believe I am still struggling to understand this subject. Nav Plotting is about plotting of charts, given some flight plans (telling you to fly from A to B to C to D), calculation of wind speed, ground speed, ETA, measuring distance and then log the necessary info into the log sheet.

That's is only a general view.

But to actually PLOT and LOG, I am really clueless, thanks to my instructor. He tells us what to do, but not showing us how to do. There is not one complete example that we can refer to. So the only way to learn is to make mistakes (as many as possible) in tests!

Fever..

Countdown 53 days to my final exam of CA6. This whole week was full of tests everyday. Flight Planning, Meteorology, Navigation, and Instruments! There wasn't any test for Radio Aids cuz our instructor is on leave and the class was taken over by another instructor. Next Monday we will have another Navigation test again. Tiring!

By the way, these are the results of the tests which I managed to get yesterday:
Flight Planning - 91%
Navigation - 81%

Meteorology - 67%

Meteorology (re-sit) - 92%


Yeah, I failed the first Meteorology test. The questions were tricky in the sense that they played around with English. And, I think I have to brush up on my geography. Haha. There were two questions as follows:

Q: Where is the location of the polar front that forms during the summer?
A: From Newfoundland to North of Scotland.

Q: Location of the polar front during winter?
A: From Florida to South West of England.

And of course, I "shot" the wrong answer . I don't know where are Florida and Newfoundland and I did not expect they asked the questions until that detailed! Damn. This are the maps of Newfoundland, Florida, Scotland, and England, and a world map for those who are Geography Idiots, like me. Haha.















































































Are you thinking that I was the only one who failed? There were 8 out of 17 guys who failed, that was why our instructor had to call for a resit. I was more careful this time and passed with three mistakes out of 38 questions.

Fever today. Ahh...
