1 simulator session and 3 flights this week.

I was not scheduled to fly on Monday but due to bad weather. But I found an instructor and a co pilot who were able to do a sim session with me. I had to fly from Beek to Eindhoven. Everything went pretty well. During the our final maneuver to intercept the ILS our instructor gave us a suction and alternator failure. Which let us without our artificial horizon and 30 min. of battery power left. It was not easy to intercept and follow the ILS with limited panel but we managed. Because I was so concentrated following the localizer and glideslope and my copilot looking for the first sign of the approach lighting system we both failed to see, when we passed 500 ft before our minima, that we also had a to high EGT and CGT temperature. Also our propeller governor failed but since our RPM was so low it was to difficult to notice. Anyway, the last failures could not have been solved on our final approach.

On Tuesday I flew with Leon to Sevilla and made 1 VORDME and 1 ILS with a circle to land. Wednesday 1 flight in the training area with a simulated approach at Jerez. On Friday I had my IF Progress check. A 2 hour flight with a different instructor to Lisbon and Cascais. We were initially cleared to fly the Ateca 7A arrival to the IAF for an ILS approach to rwy 03 at Lisbon. Unfortunately this clearance was cancelled due to too much traffic. So we could only do the VORDME approach to rwy 35 at Cascais. The flight went well and I passed.

An Iberia CRJ jet lined up rwy 09 at Seville while we did the run up
