We return to the blog after summer vacations





From now on, every week I will upload a new blog post explaining what I have been doing during the week both in Globalia training and in my day to day. 

In recent weeks I have been a little involved, since I had to move from Menorca with all my things, to install me again in Llucmajor. This past Friday I went back to Menorca to process some papers that I had pending. On Thursday night I took a flight from Palma airport to Menorca. Now that I know quite a lot of aircraft and aviation systems in general, every time I go to the airport I look at many things.I got on an Iberia plane operated by Air nostrum, specifically a CRJ-1000, a plane with two turbine engines that takes about 20 minutes from Palma to Mahón. On Saturday, I was back in Palma, I noticed that there was a plane of the Malaysia Airlines company, specifically an Airbus a380, a giant plane at the Palma Airport. I inform myself about the plane and it is a plane that these days is doing the Palma - London route to take passengers from the Thomas Cook company, since this company has closed. Back to Globalia Formation, we have been teaching theory about airplane structures and how they are manufactured. In the practical classes we have begun to disassemble components of the hydraulic system of airplanes, such as hydraulic pumps, shut-off valves or "skydrol" tanks. 


As a continuation of a practice we had done in the first course, specifically the start up of the APU and the engines, this Monday we had the opportunity to use the Globalia Training simulator used by the Pilots, to start the engines as a real plane. It was a very exciting first contact and I have learned a lot. Now it doesn't seem to me that an airplane has so many buttons since I almost know them all.

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...

I have selected some questions that may come to your mind before starting the course and that can help guide you. -How can I access these studies? As it can be accessed in several ways, in each course there are limited places for people who access through the bachillerato degree, other places for people who access by an vocational course of the same family or another family, there are also places for who access with an entrance exam to the university or an entrance exam to a vocational course. -Where do classes take place?
