Got to hotel and chilled most of day – went to plane in afternoon – handover. Couple of glitches in what had been done but more of events there elsewhere.
Not a cloud in the sky – (before Dorian and the fall!!)
I completed two days of intense training Thursay and Friday – the transition is supposed to be about 10 hours I believe combined with 14 hours ground school. I’ve done the ground school and we got through 9 hours culminating in a solo back from Atlanta to Savannah (200 miles)
Generally I’m happy – the Perspective (electronic cockpit) has quickly become second nature. I realise that I tend to fly my current version SR22 g2 listening to the engine note. This of course doesn’t work with the turbo so I have to watch carefully about low power low speed.
The biggest problem is the way the colonials use English and ‘gabble’ on the radio. Also process and procedure is always just oddly different which puts you on the back foot and constantly makes you think your doing it wrong. Adds to the stress. Ah well getting there.
Biggest problem now is Dorian (hurricane) which was heading for central Florida but this morning (Saturday) is forecast to turn sharply north and make landfall where we are. So just formulating a plan to trash all our touring and keep the plane in the hangar until it passes over then move on up to the Boston RVP with Syd
Well its a nice place to be holed up
