Okay, after the initial arse-kicking we took in our tabletop labs, things got less crazy, I got my confidence up, and I FINALLY got time to come back and update for y'all...
Basically, in a nutshell, I've been banging Academy lingo into my subconscious, to the point where I DREAM in Academy-speak. (Make straight-in, Runway 34, turn left at taxiway Sonic....)
From where I was a month ago, compared to where I am now is miraculous. We always heard stories about the intensity of phase two, about instructors from Hades, folks leaving problems frustrated and teary-eyed and of course about folks being sent home (jobless!) It's SUPER intense, but hey, if we screw up in real life....someone's mom/dad/brother/sister/husband/wife ain't makin' it home for Thanksgiving, you know what I'm saying?
The one good thing I'm digging about phase two here are the tabletops......we get to practice on toy planes. Yeah you heard me.....toy planes. And it's insanely challenging/fun to apply super-duper pilot lingo to a Fisher-Price lawnmower...but it's awesome. I'll update when I get some breathing room.
Standby...

That table top has come a long way since I was there. There may be a post on the blog I used to run.
