last week of classes .. monday down, 4 to go....

Good class today:
We are now doing flight planning, flying our Boeing 737-800 from SFO to SAN and other assignments.
The high level charts are out, the stars, the sids....
We're now using performance charts for the B738, climb charts, cruise, decent, at ISA temps and ISA-5....
...the wind doesn't change en route ...
...no problem Ms Katie Instructor Lady, throw it at me....

Day one is always the intro.
Everything is great
Tonite we're given a homework assignment.
The short flight should take a little over an hour, yet so far its taken me over 3 hours to plan it !!!

THANK YOU BILL GATES FOR COMPUTERIZING THIS !!!!!

I can almost hear the music from "Jaws" in the background ...
...do do......do do do do do do do .........
Sure, the wind is near calm today in flight planning, but by Wednesday I'm sure a Notam or two will pop-up, ILS's will be down ....
items will be MEL'd with altitude penalties .....
I KNOW YOU"RE OUT THERE.... WAITING !!!!!

This is fun.
