English proficiency ICAO level check - Done!

Well I can't say that it's already done because I will only get the results in two or three weeks but I'm confident that it was enough at least to get a classification of 4 which is the minimum to be able to fly outside Portugal and some other countries like Brasil, East Timor, etc.

My English Exam was made on the Portuguese Airline Pilots Association in Portuguese APPLA (www.appla.pt) and was originally a RMIT Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Exam. RMIT have created the RELTA division to deal with English proficiency tests for aviation.

Here is the RELTA website where you can find some interesting information about this subject and it also has a training test which I strongly recommend for those who are thinking on getting their English Rating in a short time.

Situation Report!

To all my readers, if there is anyone who reads this, I apologize formy absence.

On the instrument training flights I'm practicing flying on ATS routes which is very good because normally I'm flying at FL070 and as it was today we had at that flight level 17ºC which is very good comparing with the 38ºC at Lisbon Airport.
Here you have some pictures, not as good as I wanted to be but the aircraft windows are getting old.

About my Swiss experience...

A few posts ago I've told you about my experience on my trip to Switzerland. The Airline, aircraft, airports, etc. Now this post is to talk about something a bit different from this Alpine paradise.


Those who are related to the business aviation or at least have knowledge about the subject are well familiar with one or two Swiss aerodromes such as Samedan at St. Moritz. But Switzerland isn't just business aviation with aerodromes near the ski resorts. As a matter of fact on a train trip from Geneva Aeroport to Brig, a small city in the Canton of Valais I saw 5 airfields and could count more two that are the Geneva Airport and de Lausanne Aerodrome. I mean this was only in a space of a Inter regional train 2 hour trip, amazing. Two of the airfields had a well treated and seem in top condition grass strip, the rest were all with concrete or tarmac runways.

But of course that an airfield without aircraft isn't interesting but fact is that except one aerodrome all the others had…
