Re: Kellwolf's Upgrade Updates Today was the last day of GFS. Show up at Flight Safety and run through all the profiles and the syllabus with my sim partner before the session started. Get things started with me in the left seat doing all the pre-flight checks. Got set up for a simulated flight, briefed the takeoff, pushed back, started the engines up.....hot start. After we went through that procedure, taxiied out, cleared for takeoff, aborted t/o for a L engine fire. Went through the immediate action items for that, and then did the passenger evac procedures.
Repositioned at the end of the runway, did a normal takeoff......to an indavertant thrust reverser deploy that didn't stow. Reset to cruise flight, and we discussed the stall profiles, steep turn profiles, SE and normal approaches and then got vectors and set up for an ILS to 36L. Normal landing, and we were done.
We were scheduled for 4 hours, but we finished up in under 2. This was a phase check to make sure we were where we needed to be before heading to the sim. My sim partner and I both like to be overprepared, and this was one of those days it really benefitted. We got to leave almost 2 hours early b/c we went through the whole syllabus for the day, no questions, no problems.
Start sims on Monday.
