Aircraft maintenance blues
March 5, 2010 Leave a Comment
As of today, it has been a week since the last time I flew. Of course I didn’t know it at the time but just after the flight to CVO, a warning horn in the cockpit of the RG would stop working. Unfortunately this meant that the plane was grounded as this device is required for the aircraft to fly. The training that I’m enrolled in this term only has me needing one more flight in the RG and with two weeks to go I’m not worried about getting it finished up. This issue is to be expected from time to time as a pilot progresses through training. Hopefully there is a different plane available which can be flown. Unfortunately for me in this case, the only other RG at the school is down for maintenance as well.
Luckily for me, as of now the plane is back up and ready to fly. I’m on the schedule to get in the air tomorrow morning and I’m really looking forward to it!
