It’s been a busy week. I had 10 exams, some of them were easy, and some of them were pretty hard. For example the navigation exam, which was divided in two parts; general navigation and radio navigation. The general navigation part mainly existed out of flight computer exercises. With a flight computer (Jeppesen) you can calculate the wind direction, TAS, heading, track, etc. It’s not difficult to use a flight computer, but remembering all the techniques to calculate the missing values is difficult.

I also had another weight and balance exam. I got all details about a fictional flight, and had to fill in the loadsheet, distribute all cargo and passengers and fuel at the plane.

Next week I start working at the KLM again, for my second aviation internship. Last year I was having an internship at the KLM as well, at the Groundservices department. This time, I’m working at Aircraft Turnaround Services for two months. I’m not exactly sure what my activities will be, but I’ll find out Monday.

Most of the grades are nearly the same as the ones of the previous exam week. Here’s a list of some of the results:

All grades are on a scale from one to ten
