One of my days in Globalia Maintenance Training

Globalia is located in the municipality of Llucmajor, twenty five kilometers from Palma de Mallorca, in the  Son Noguera trade development. From Tuesday to Friday I have training classes in Globalia in the morning, so I have to get up at cuarter past six in the morning to take the car and go to class. It is my first year in Llucmajor so we have 3 hours of practical classes in the workshop, with 5 minutes of rest every hour to go to the toilette or drink something.
In the workshop, we must wear a uniform and safety shoes, which Air Europa has customized with her logo. At the end of the 3 hours of practice, we have a break of 20 minutes for breakfast and We go to the bar. At 11 o'clock in the morning the first hour of theory begins, so we go to the upper floor of the training building where the classroom is located. At the moment we are studying fundamentals of electricity with Elena. As in the class with Elena we are studying capacitors, resistors and some electrical components, in the workshop we have mounted a small circuit that transmits radio signals that can be picked up by a radio, like the one we have in the cell phone. It is very fun to listen your voice on your cell phone.
In the images you can see the circuits that we made in the workshop. The first picture is the radio transmitter and the second one is a circuit which filter the input signal.

Racing drones

A Drone is a flying device controlled remotely by a person or a program to develop many types of functions. There are many types of drones but my favorites are the racing drones. These devices are controlled by people who use a control with two joysticks and glasses where you can see in real time what is in front of the drone. Be careful if you are a person with vertigo or fear of speed. The device is normally built by four high performance electric motors that provide support and addressability to the device; a battery that gives electrical energy; a camera that allows you to control the drone as if you were inside and some circuits that control the motors and send the video signal to the glasses. There are a variety of forms of these devices: with more engines, with steerable propellers or even amphibious water-air. They are devices that don't allow a great time of flight, but can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Their flight range doesn't reach a kilometer aw...

Sushi and bad weather

This week, my in-laws they planned to come a few days to visit Mallorca and be with my girlfriend and me. Due to weather forecasts, they changed the day of arrival and advanced the trip a few days. From what they said on the news, it was going to rain a lot this week and the wind was going to blow very hard. These days we went to eat at two restaurants. The burguer Doze, is a small restaurant in Llucmajor that makes a very good burgers at a good price; or to kiyomi sushi, which is a Japanese food restaurant that has a menu where you can choose everything you want with a fixed price. The sushi is of very good quality and the entrees are very good. My in-laws left to Menorca a day before the storm began. This storm was announced well in advance, as it could cause a lot of damage to coastal areas and flood areas. Finally there have been waves up to 14 meters high and winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. It has been days of staying at home in the afternoon. In the practice hours in Glob...

A good opportunity to study aircraft maintenance

In this post I will explain my experience during these two years that have led me to start in the world of aircraft maintenance. From the moment I decided to start these studies, away from home until today, 2 years have passed. I decided to study this vocational course because I have always liked airplanes and vehicle maintenance. Upon arriving at the IES Son Pacs, the first day of class they explained, to my classmates and me, the great responsibility that comes with being an airplane mechanic, the difficulty of getting a license and other things that caused some classmates to decide to unsubscribe the first day. All the things that tell you that day you don't have to make yourself nervous. I believe that the first day has nothing to do with what the course is going to deal with, but being an aircraft mechanic carries a great responsibility. What matters in this course is to understand in a general way how airplanes work and the philosophy of aircraft maintenance. All mechanics m...
