Today is day 3 in ground school. Mornings do seem to be getting rougher. I you have yet to guess the Van is still going to be a sticking point for us. On Sunday our lunch ride was 15 minutes late arriving, and 15 minutes early to pick us up... this left us 30 min for lunch which isn't enough time for all of us to eat.
Waiting seems to be the name of the game... Waiting for the van again 
This time around, we had 3 different rabbits come visit.. I think hawks and vaulters were circling. Sunday covered fire protection systems, Flight instrumentation, Navigation, and Oxygen systems. For the most part, the 6 of us seem to be moving right along. No tricky systems and such yet. The main stumbling block is simply all the damn acronyms we have to learn. Below Is quick snaps of the paper mock ups we use to learn switch locations, and flows etc...
Main Panel in the Cockpit
Center Counsel, side panels and yokes
Overhead Panel with fire protection in the yellow box
This morning (Monday the 3rd) we had more van issues. Quite simply, they were full. I can understand the company wanting us to use the van on short trips, but considering how old it has already gotten, the next 3 weeks of it will probably get very testy. Today's systems include: Auto flight, Communication, Fuel and EFIS1... Tonight I'll prob risk my life and walk to the mall. Gotta get out of the hotel for a bit. Pictures to be added later. Thanks for reading :)
