Introduction

I'm not sure why I'm doing this or where it will lead but maybe just having a record of the things I do in the aviation world will be of interest to some of you ... at least my kids will have a record of what I do from day to day.

I design simulator training profiles for Boeing767-300ER so with the next [6 monthly] training program due to start in March I start today drafting the details. It's always a struggle to fit all the required training into two details but I have listed some ideas to get started. Contaminated runway take off, Hydraulic problems and Emergency descents feature in the first detail and the focus of the second is Low Weather Minima operations and RNAV approaches. Lots of emphasis these days on RNAV operation which are clearly the way of the future.

A friend of mine has bought Harvard 7660 (T6 Texan or SNJ) and we are heading to Christchurch on Wednesday to pick it up. My initial training was on Harvards (a long time ago) and a few years ago I did a bunch of circuits to get insurance approval to fly a P40 Kittyhawk (Warhawk). I haven't been in one for a couple of years though so will spend this afternoon reading the manuals.

Well I better get to it ...

Please feel free to post questions about any of the aircraft or procedures mentioned in my blogs.

Kind Regards
