End of groundschool

Well, it seems a while since CP115 started in December, most of us shy in our first APD (Airline Preparation Day).

Last Thursday was our last ground school day and we're all pleased to have finished our theoretical training here at CTC.

No more lessons ahead of us!
Having completed the whole CBT (Computer Based Training) we'll be studying for the next month to pass our Module 2 exams (Performance, General Navigation, Radio Navigation, Flight Planning, Operation Procedures, Human Performance and Limitations, Mass and Balance), which, compared to module 1, are much more practical and less "facts knowledge" is required.
Here's a short video, taken on our last day of HP&L when a doctor came to show us some of the illusions we can have whilst flying.
Here's the inverting goggles experience: a little example which demonstrates that what our eyes sense, is not what we are effectively doing.



The great news which has been told us just a week ago is that our request to go to Phoneix, Arizona, has been approved by CTC so me and other 3 cadets of our course are going to head to the USA on the 26th of June, and as I can see from other cadets' blogs the experience is going to be amazing, so I really can't wait to!

Arizona we're coming!
Well, that's all for now! I'll update the blog after the exams, so fingers crossed and lot of study for the following days!
