I added 104 new pictures and 25 movies. All of them are from the MCC, Type rating and Base Training in the 737. I also added some new downloads. Have fun.

Everything is going very well and a number of us are already busy with job interviews, selection procedures, type ratings, etc. I don't have any new pictures yet, but I uploaded some new programs to the download section. Enjoy.

08-14-05

We are finished with the ME flying in the Seneca. The only thing left is the AJFC and the MCC which will take 2 weeks or so. I also added lots of new pictures (180) and movies (27).

06-26-05

A program which generates simple equations has been added to the download section.

05-11-05

We have started with our multi engine IFR training in Oxford. The Seneca is much, much nicer compared to the warriors we flew in the US, so this part of the training should be good fun. Hard work though ;-)

04-06-05

We finished the single engine training in Phoenix, and next week we'll start the First Officer's Fundamentals in Oxford. Also, there are new pictures (164) and movies (15) added to the site.

02-07-05

New Phoenix movies uploaded.

02-04-05

I finally found some time to upload the new pictures from Phoenix: 205 new ones. Movies are coming later, I have some trouble uploading them. Enjoy.

01-23-05

Almost everybody has become solo now. Only Mark remains, because he was sick. Everybody did really well and made his best landing ever during the solo. (that's not according the instructor ;-) I have added A little story of a solo to the "Adventures" section.

01-19-05

I (Tjeerd) had my first solo today!!! It was a bit scary but real good fun! Other people will be following shortly, and I will also post some new photo's and lots of video files. Just keep checking our site.

01-06-05

I finally found some time to update our homepage again. About two weeks ago we got the results of phase 2, which where ok overall. We are in the states right now and we'll start with our flying lessons tomorrow. The accommodation here is 10 times better then at Oxford, so we are very pleased about that. Oh, and I have made some nice pictures and movies from our trip from London to Phoenix, which I will post within a few days (when I find a place with fast internet).

12-12-04

Last Thursday we finished our final JAR exams! It will take about 2 weeks for the results to come in but I think we should be ok because the exams where not that tricky, except for MET, which was a bit difficult. Anyway, I'll keep you informed. Stay tuned.

11-25-04

We just finished the school-finals. Some subjects were a bit tricky, but overall it was ok. Phoenix is coming closer every day :-)

11-19-04

I added a program to learn morse code to the site. Check the new downloads section.

11-16-04

Today was our last day of school! We do not have any more lessons and all of the theory is finished. Our school-finals are in one week, and one week later the real JAR's begin. The end of ground school is in sight.

10-26-04

We got the results of Test 2 today. Our class did really well, so tonight we are going to party!

10-26-04

Last week we had a beautiful sunset with a low fog layer here at Oxford. I took some pictures of it and posted it in the gallery section.

10-12-04

We went paintballing this weekend. We had a great time! Check the gallery for the pictures.

10-08-04

The site has been updated with a private section for all EPST students at APP238. Now, everybody can post their own photos and text on the site.

10-06-04

Yesterday we went to visit Airbus Industries in Filton. It was great fun. They showed us some of the new A380 parts being made, a landing gear and wing bending test rig, a wind tunnel, and much more. Take a look at the gallery for some pictures.

10-01-04

The site has been updated with more pictures and a movie!

09-24-04

The results of our phase 1 JAA exams have arrived! On average we did ok. The results of Aircraft Performance weren't as good unfortunately. Five people dropped that one, and for the rest of the class; almost everybody's lowest grade is from AP. It was an exam full of tricky questions and almost no feedback, so we hope the next one is easier. Anyway, only a couple of weeks to go, and wer'e off to the US!

09-22-04

We have started phase 2 and some guys for the classes CBR16 (EPST16), APP236, and APP237 have joined. Our class has grown from 15 to 26 persons, so it is quite crowded now but nevertheless, still fun.

09-19-04

The APP238 site has finally arrived. A little late, but hey, we have to study very hard ;-)
