Today I performed my eleventh flight training in the UK to transfer my private pilot license from for the USA to for the UK. Today, there were two main tasks; VOR tracking and simulated forced landing. Although I had trained them in the USA, I have to learn again to pass the flight test to transfer the license. I took off the home aerodrome which was located in northern London and turned to north. Just after climbing out, my instructor indexed the destination and requested me to take him there by using the VOR tracking technique. The VOR is one of the important navigation equipments. Although the VOR indicated the direction of the destination, I had to modify it by wind information because our course would be distorted by wind. I flew with calculation to get the value of wind correction angle. Simultaneously, I have to maintain the flight condition, monitor the outside, listening the radio communication, and identify the position. Sometimes, the instructor asked our position and I had to answer it, of course in English. To fly is a highly multitask work. Due to the delay of the flight which was performed by someone before me, our depature was delayed. I took off only 45 minutes before the sun set. Although it is not so easy to identify the position from the sky even in daytime, it was more difficult when it was dark.
After that tracking training, we performed the simulated forced landing training. This was my second time to do it with the instructor. He required me high quality simulation; I simulated it until just before touch down the field out of the aerodrome. I trained them for about one hour and flew back home aerodrome.
It was my first flight for this three months. It was absolutly fun to fly for me even I had flown many times.

Today I performed my eleventh flight training in the UK to change my American private pilot license to a British one.
Although I had done this training in the USA, I had to it learn again to pass the flight test to transfer my license.
The VOR is one of the most important navigational tools.
Although the VOR indicated the direction of the destination, I had to modify it the wind information because our course would have been distorted by the wind.
I flew using this calculation to get the value of the wind angle correct.
Simultaneously, I have to maintain flight condition, monitor the external area, listen to information communicated by radio, and identify the position.
Sometimes, the instructor asked us what our position was and I had to answer it in English of course.
Flying requires multitasking.
He required me to perform a high quality simulation; I simulated it until just before touch down in the field out on the aerodrome.
I trained for about one hour and flew back to the home aerodrome.
It was my first flight in three months.
It was extremely fun to fly even though I have flown many times. (In this case, extremely works better than absolutely)
Hope that helps! :)
They are helpful for me to understand your acorrections.
Thank you!
