I popped down to Rosie’s today to do my two outstanding exams – Meteorology and Navigation. I did Met first and ended up with 80 or 85% (can’t remember the figure – will have to check with Rosie) which I was very pleased and satisfied with. Can’t say the same about Nav though.<\/p>\n
With that, I just scraped through with a pass of 70%. That meant I got 6 questions out of 20 wrong, which I don’t think is really a very good result. On the plus side, I have to admit that I didn’t do very much preparation for the exam and to be honest, I haven’t done any serious navigation for over 20 years. But the main reason why I’m disappointed with myself is that I threw away at least 4 questions because either I was stupid and put down the wrong answer when with a couple of moments more thought I actually knew the correct one or I failed to spot the information needed to answer the question in front of me on the chart used for the question or in the supporting AIP information supplied with it \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m through and it’s something I can now tick off the list. All I need to worry about now is the flying, the easy bit you might say. Rosie and I chatted afterwards. No effort wasted there, then, Rosie said about Nav and wasn’t she right. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
We agreed that I must now press on with the flying at full speed, whenever the weather permits, so I can get to GST standard by the end of May and achieve my Restricted licence. So that’s what I’ll do and then I can upgrade it to a full Unrestricted licence at my leisure in the few weeks following, as I mentioned in my last post. I may have only just crept in as far as Nav is concerned, but the door is now open to press on just as I planned. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
