Final FNPT flights!

Yet another phase is behind me :)

I've now flown all of the FNPT simulator exercises (35 of them) and logged about 38 hours in the simulator, with another 38 observing from the right seat. I can't believe I've spent over three consecutive days in the sim!

OFP

Our last three flights were cross-country exercises. The first one was from Malmi to Lappeenranta which after we did some approaches so that the whole flight lasted about two hours. The next day it was time to fly from Malmi to Tampere and the last one was from Helsinki-Vantaa to Turku, which after we made a diversion to Tampere. The last flight was a so-called evaluation flight, where the school evaluates whether our progress has been good enough in order to move to the real airplane.

All in all these flights were quite demanding, since we also had to do all the necessary preflight planning as if we were about to fly the flights in real-life. Luckily I got overall above-than-average grades from the evaluation, despite a few embarrassing mistakes.

Now it's time to move on.. The Piper Turbo Arrow IV awaits, yet again! :)
