Correfocs and module 9

This week I started studying for the module 9 exam, this module talks about human factors and we have a test type test and development test. In aviation it is very important to know the dangers of working with airplanes, since a failure can lead to a serious accident. We have to know the limitations that humans have and the possible failures we can make.

Last weekend I went with my girlfriend to see the correfocs they made in Palma. They are hours throwing fireworks with the dimonis and the drag de na coca. It is an impressive pyrotechnic show.

Because we have an exam next week, I have not left home much, but I took the opportunity to make pizzas or a vegetable paella with mushrooms that we went to look for with Guillem a few weeks ago. Here you have some pictures of the pizzas and the vegetable paella.

In the Globalia workshop, my group and I have been measuring the angle of a flying surface and we have calculated the weight necessary to perform the balancing and it remains at a certain angle. We have also been looking at the fire extinguishing system of the Convar coronado CV990. The system consists of two deposits of extinguishing agent in each wing. These deposits can discharge their content on both engines of the same wing.

A visit to the hangar and other places to eat

This weekend my couple and I went to eat at a buffet at the Son Pardo racecourse. It is right next to the son pacs institute. It is a buffet where we can find typical Mallorcan dishes, such as “ tumbet” which are sliced vegetables such as aubergine, potato and green pepper, with tomato sauce. We also found "trampo", which is a salad of tomatoes, onions and green and red peppers, cut into very small squares. Most of the dishes in the buffet are good, I recommend the site to people who like buffets. Also this weekend I made a cheesecake with jam that was great. My partner and I like to have something sweet to eat after lunch. Right now, while I am writing the blog, I am preparing donuts, typical of this time of year. Next week I will upload photos of how the donuts have been. This week at Globalia we have continued with the hydraulic systems of the plane with Jose Miguel. In the workshop, Pere and I have finished assembling the turbochargers, we have stopped all the sc...

Car racing in the puig major and a hidden skydrol tank

This last weekend I went on an excursion to the Puig major, since this weekend there was a car race. Taking advantage of this event, the night before the race, I slept near to the village of Sóller, a small village located between mountains. Sóller seems to me a spectacular village since it is surrounded by mountains and with a special color in its houses. In addition, it has a small railway that reaches the port of Sóller. I camped near the road for the next morning to see the race from there. What impressed me most, is to see the sunrise from the mountain, with the town of Sóller just below. It was a full day that helped me to disconnect from the module 7 exam. Day 9 was my birthday and I brought cookies and croissants to class for my classmates. Upon arriving home, my partner had prepared a cake with 23 candles. The next weekend is her birthday and I will prepare some surprise ... In theory class we have started the airplane's pneumatic system, but in practic...
