BFR almost done and an Aerospatiale AS 355 F1

I went up for the flying component of the BFR [Biennial Flight Review] today, and it all went well enough.

Actually, it's probably one of the very best FLWOP [Forced Landing With Out Power] exercises I've ever managed! The EFATO [Engine Failure After Takeoff] exercise that followed worked out well also. Perhaps I did not need to be quite so nervous about this flight? In addition to all this, we did a max performance takeoff, some turns, stalls, low flying, precautionary landing, followed by rejoining the Wellington circuit, some circuit work [including flapless landing and precision approach and landing] as well as some other bits and pieces.

Now just the paperwork to finish off tomorrow...

Anyway, before the BFR I got a snap of this Aerospatiale AS 355 F1 departing Wellington.
