I’ve just upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.5.1. Let me know if you stumble on anything that doesn’t (seem to) work.

The blog lost it’s original design after my upgrade to Freshy 2 theme. I haven’t had time time create a Freshy 2 style of my Freshy 1 JL Mod yet. I’m not to happy about the the default Freshy 2 theme so I’ll try to do fix that during summer break.

… or? Either way, as of today I have passed the ATPL theory:

1. Air Law
2. Aircraft General Knowledge - Airframes & Systems, Electrics & Powerplant
3. Aircraft General Knowledge - Instrumentation
4. Flight Performance & Planning - Flight Planning & Monitoring
5. Flight Performance & Planning - Mass & Balance
6. Flight Performance & Planning - Performance
7. General Navigation
8. Human Performance & Limitations
9. IFR Communications
10. Meteorology
11. Operational Procedures
12. Principles of Flight
13. Radio Navigation

It was a big step closer to completion of the ATPL theory when I had passed all mandatory ATPL school exams on yesterday (Wednesday). After four days of studying for the Swedish CAA (Luftfartsstyrelsen) ATPL exams and then - hopefully - I’ll be done with those tests Wednesday. It going to be a huge relief when the theory is out of the way - not always having the theory giving me a guilty conscience.

I can’t believe that this is actually happening - the finish line is close now, just have to run through.

It feels as if it was not too long that I started a Lund University School of Aviation and thought that “Boy, there is going to be four periods of exams!”. With three periods of exams already passed that time is now! The mere though of all ATPL theory - hopefully - being done in ten days in unbearable knowing that having passed all tests the relief will be well-earned.

Tomorrow’s Mandatory tests (i.e. school tests prior to next week’s CAA tests) are Instrumentation, Principles of Flight and IFR Communication. Wednesday holds Flight Planning and Monitoring and Performance.
