One thing that i never really took that far into consideration that we learned in class was the conventional vs counter rotating props and the extreme effect on each. there is such a difference between the two, and i'm glad i'm flying a plane that is counter rotating. knowing the extreme effects of each, advantages, and disatvantages is very helpful. the one thing i would like to add is that i wish we learned a lot more about turbine engines, not just props. -we always learn certain things in the plane that helps prepare us for the future, so why not learn it on the ground?? One thing that i loved was when we went out to the Seminole at the hanger, because at that point i havent flown it, so it was great insight. It was very beneficial seeing where everything is and getting a better understanding of how it works by seeing it in person. Another thing that i liked was how short the class is. it didnt drag on and on, it was very direct, to the point, lesson by lesson days. The class wasnt scatterd or jumbled around, it was in sync with identifiable sections. Julie, you did a wonderful job teaching it and i enjoy hearing your stories and getting real insight of real world twin flying. Probably the only thing that was kinda a downer was the workload. at times, there was quite a bit of homework stacked up, and most of my time consisted of multi. -but i understand why since the class is just over a month long.
The stuff we learned linked really well to my ground instruction, because it flew by and i knew my stuff when my instructor asked. i felt confident, and feel confident flying the twin and other twins alike and being able to describe them. The second thing that i learned that was vitally important was engine out ops and emergencies. we went into great depth about it which is great for real life scenarios. i never would have imagined how important it is to go over an engine out proc prior to the flight with given WX conditions. I feel safer as well.
