The box was rather hard to fly today because of the failures that I had or chose to have during the session. I didn't want a flight director and I chose not to have the auto throttles and autopilot. Most importantly, the hydraulics were failed so the inputs that were needed were very intense. I definitely have a lot to in trying to fly the perfect raw data approach, but I thought that I progressed fast over the three that I did over and over again. I'm definitely starting to get a good feeling for the MD90 and feel like the next few lessons will be exciting as I start to brush things up a bit. Just think of it, by the end of the month, I'll be up for the FAA checkride in the MD90! Then graduation, then...anyone want to pick up a pilot? I'll fly...
