Well its that time again....
This time i have decided to take the plunge and go for my C2 exam once again at my Favorite airport Heathrow!
The exam will take place on:
Thursday 17th August 2006 (this week) @ 18:00z @ EGLL
Support from you guys would be nice - remember its Heathrow Director not Heathrow Approach ;)
See you there,
Regards,
-
Good luck with that! I wont be there, its always 1800z...
-
Jav,
They run for at least an hour (and in the case of C2/C3, much longer), so I'd not be the least bit surprised if Conrad was still controlling come 2000Z (maybe even 2100Z)
@Conners: will try to be there for you mate - don't need to worry about VFR for the C2, do you?
-
Nah,
here are the requirements listed on the GB site:
Ability to use a SIDs and STARs given the appropriate charts.
Use of Approach Plates from Sector System.
Vector minimum of three aircraft successfully onto the ILS for approach.
Handle an missed approach and vector back onto the ILS.
Handle at least three departing aircraft (with or without SIDs, as decided by the Instructor and the pilots at fly-ins) for hand-off to center.
Handle an Engine Failure during approach for an emergency landing.
Handle a variety of emergencies (aircraft without DG/compass/ASI/etc.)
Give vectors for a visual approach.
Demonstrate use of stacks (holding points) to regulate flow of aircraft onto an ILS approach
But i should be ok ;) - hopefully ;)

I'll be there to support as TWR .. Good luck m8 !!

I meant that 1800z is 2 am for me, thats why i cant go:]

I can control as Ground if you'd like, Or I could fly. You can decide on how much traffic you're getting, but I'd be happy to come along and support you anyway I can;D
-
I do not like so big airports when it is filled with ATC, but I will be there. Maybe with even 2 flights. Good luck Conners !!!
;)
-
Will try my hardest to get there and give you some help....good luck any way, Jim
-
I would love to be there but i've just got my A-Level results so it's a big party with lots of alcohol for me tonight. I don't think you would appreciate a drunk pilot! lol. But all the best anyway ;D
-
that makes 2 of us, got into Uni - thats all that matters ;) - Going out tomorrow night :)
-
Well thanks to everyone who turned up (Robert who did 3 flights :P) - but i failed. Oh well, till next time ;)
-
Poor luck my friend :( ..
Next time, i am sure you will pass because you are very professional!
Regards,
-
Commisserations mate. Was just getting ready for what would have been the first of a couple of flights (into, then out of Heathrow) when real-world went totally TU...
Did you miss by much? I'll make myself available in a fortnight (or however long you need to wait) for def.
-
next time, you will definitely succed the next time, after this time's experience;D
-
I was about 8 marks below the pass rate i think :P - basicly i overeacted with some of the emergencies. I had 2 guys - Jim with the Heading indicator fail, and a KLM with a left engine. I stuck Robert and another EHM (sorry dont know your name at the moment) in a hold and i got penalised for that :P. But one thing he did say "Your vectoring and spacing was perfect" :P
Most think i was glad about - didnt get critisised for any phraseology, which was good and i didnt say "please" (Gaz's pet hate :P)
But i had Splendor (CA-DIR - I2 ) doing it in the end - As Gaz couldnt make it.
-
Hard luck mate...next time will be better ;) Although I did not understand the penalty reason. I mean I am not a controller, but if I had an emergency, I would surely make a larger separation behind the wounded plane.
I was on a Beech, and Jose was behind me on a faster A320. I did 1 complete circle over Ockham, and when the wounded plane left runway in front of me, I was only 7-8 miles from touchdown...it was not a so big separation, I think. ;)
Unfortunately I missed the 3rd round with the Concorde, you were already out :) And fortunately my FS crashed only once, over Shannon, when I was already planning to have a loooong sleep ;D
-
nah nah, i can take seperation down to 3 miles if i want to at LL ;) - 6 -8 nm was fine for a emergency ;)
-
Bad luck Conrad...thought you handled my emergency excellently....by the way, your examiner requested my to simulate that emergency, i wasn't trying to give you a hard time on purpose!! Better luck next time, sure you'll pass.
Jim

Yep i guessed he did :P ;)

Hi Conrad,
It´s a pitty that you failed, but don´t get disappointed as your ATC in my opinion was very professional. For me, it was great to see other EHM partners in the air like Robert and, (I don´t know what you may think) but yesterday´s flight, was my first English speaking Online flight and I enjoyed a lot, although it still a little difficult sometimes for me to hear properly the ATC instructions. What do you think, Conrad? I guess I need a bit of more practise. Anyway, in relation to your exam, don´t worry guy, next time will be the RIGHT TIME, and I hope to be in the air (under tour controlling) to see it!! ;)
Best regards

:P , heh yeh, if i had 8 marks more would have passed :P
Still ive learnt alot, next time : 90+ :P:P:P heh
-
Well, the exam isnt counting, apparently Splendor wasnt allowed to take the exam (none of the GB staffed approved it. So i have a second time (for first exam when i get back from Ireland :P)
