Hi guys, you have really inspired people to come to the party supporting your very worthy cause

The company I work for, Rand Merchant Bank, has generously come up with the following proposal:
- Whatever money you don’t get to get to R125K, RMB Hugfund will “fill up” to reach R125K.
- If you get to R125K on your own (without RMB's contribution), RMB Hugfund will give R75K to Reach for a Dream.

Well done guys please keep up the good work and please fly safe!

Regards
Ant

Dag 1.

Ek gaan nie slim probeer wees met hierdie daaglikse “posts”van ons ervaringe nie, maar ons wil graag die lesse wat ons leer soos wat ons vorder, deel. Julle gaan agterkom dat daar sekere dinge is wat ons gedoen of nagelaat het om te doen, wat ons breindood gaan laat voorkom, maar as “geriatrix” is daar sekere funksies in die kop of liewer in die brein, wat oor die jare verdwyn of doodgaan .
Kommunikasie, GPS koordinate en saamvlieg.

“Read back”ondermekaar is belangrik op chat frekwensie. Ek en Paul hoor nie meer so duidelik nie en selfs al dink jy dat jy weet wat die ander wil se, kan ‘n gebrek aan duidelike kommunikasie gevolge he.Ek en Paul het na’ sononder by Jakkalsdans aangekom en begin soek na die aanloopbaan. Paul en ek het nie vooraf ons GPS koordinate gesinkroniseer nie (een GPS was op desimale en die ander op grade, min. en sek.) Airfields of Southern Africa het Jakkalsdans se koordinate se sekondes afgerond en geen sekondes aangetoon nie. Ons het elk op ons eie GPS koordinate begin soek na die aanloopbaan en in die proses mekaar uit die sig verloor. Op daardie stadium wou Murphie’s Law dit he dat ons radio kommunikasie ook begin sukkel. Dit klink onbenullig, maar in die skemer wanneer jy soek na ‘n onbekende aanloopbaan soek en jy moet jou “partner” probeer vind en die een kan nie hoor wat die ander se nie, dan raak dit nogal problematies. Vingertaal is dalk ‘n beter opsie as ons mekaar net altyd kan sien of hoor. Ons het nou ‘n daaglikse “checklist”opgestel wat ons met mekaar nagaan voor ons opstyg.

Ek dink so n "Checklist" tussen Pilots is n goeie idee. Dit kan dinge net baie makliker maak.
