My Reflection

I think that the two most important things that I learned from class were the Seminole systems and the emergency procedures for the Seminole.  Learning the Seminole systems was important because I had just started to fly the Seminole at the time, and I needed to learn about all of the systems.  I know that the End of Course and check ride also emphasize systems, so it is good to have a base of knowledge for that.  Learning the emergency procedures was also important for the same reason.  Right when we had to memorize the emergency worksheet for class, I started to do engine out maneuvers.  I also know that a lot of the EOC and check ride involve maneuvering with an engine out, so it was good to learn the emergency procedures at an early stage.  I really liked that the class didn't try to stretch out an entire semester.  It was definitely long enough so that I was able to learn everything I needed to, but it didn't try to fill in time with things that are unimportant.  I didn't really like that the class was at 8:00am.  I don't mind doing things in the morning so that the afternoon is open, but 8:00am is very early.  At times I would find myself fighting to focus on class, which wasn't exactly helpful for me.  It was beneficial to see the animations of how the systems work, and be able to interact with them.  We could go over the systems as many times as were necessary, which helped me learn them better.  I feel kind of neutral about blogging.  It did help me reflect about certain things, but I'm not sure that it advanced my learning.  Without blogging I feel that I would have learned just as much, but the blogging did help me reinforce some things.
