Similar to yesterday, but the motion helped. Allot. Based on yesterdays experience I woke up thinking I would be wobbling the wings all the way down to the runway, and have trouble over-controlling all day. If that was the case, I knew it&#8217;d only get worse with each session.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My steep turns were much better, but still don&#8217;t think I was within parameters. Instructor (H.P.) tells me I was within standards and we could move on, so I&#8217;ll accept that I&#8217;ll improve enough as we go. I did a takeoffs, landings, ILS and a bunch of other things that he also was happy with, so I&#8217;ll take it. <em>Note: I think he has an open mind due to my lack of jet experience. Learning is happening.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I had dinner with my partner last\u00a0night, and again tonight. We did well together today, and are making an effort to get through this together. I&#8217;m learning from him, and that is good. He is an instructor by nature and putting him in that role for me smoothed everything out.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The FSI instructor made that happen through a frank discussion with the two of us at the start &#8211; you have to work together to make this happen. It worked. We are.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Tonight I&#8217;ll study limitations from the AFM. Apparently the check-ride looks at that, and particularly at the notes within the limitations I&#8217;m told. Tomorrow I will meet my sim partner in the morning, and we&#8217;ll chair fly call outs for takeoff, ILS, and non-precision approaches.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m looking forward to a day off Sunday, and the start of my last week here. I miss my wife and I am looking forward to going home.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Feeling better, but I&#8217;m no rock star.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Frank<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog and others like it represent the updates I&#8217;ve been sending to my teammates as I go through the training required to get a type rating in the Gulfstream G280 corporate jet.
