TD- 6/ TD - 7

I had to save 2 days for today as it was eventful. My C201 went great! My C202 went like crap! It was horrid. Nothing worked, my brain felt mushy, the winds kicked my arse and even the horses and cows on the ground laughed at me. It was atrocious.

I cried a little, called a few people who had been here, threatened to switch to Nav.. You know, the normal stuff.

Then I went to sleep. And I woke up feeling bleh. I had a talk with my IP and he told me I'm right where I'm supposed to be. It's not supposed to click from zero hours to C202. Just doesn't happen often.

Next came C203. It was a blast. Things were happening. Things were working. Chairflying helps immensely.

It's late and I can't post much but just know that you WILL have a shite day. It's going to happen. There's nothing you can do to stop it. Cry that day (unless you're double turning, then just take 15 mins with the punching bag in the gym) and move on. Pre-plan your next flight and pick points that you want to really shine. You can't get it all at once so choose your battles with the flight wisely. Set good goals and really aim for them. You'll miss things - but don't let yourself miss EVERYTHING just because of few little things.

I mean, maybe some people can do it all from the beginning (looking at CFIs) but they cheated with their 5,000+ hours.

For you incomings, I've built some packets. Leave a note in the comments if you want the items. Remember, live by gouge, die by gouge. When you get here, double check the gouge.

PS - I double turn C301 and C302 tomorrow AND I lead off the formal brief at 0610. My ORM is gonna be HIIIIGH.
