Relax?

Hiiiii! How are you? I missed you, boys and girls. Today I want to explain to you why am I sad. For a few days I was wondering to have holidays, or just my own "holidays", but not. As you know last week were the exams. About two months studying day a day for 4 or 5 hours... that hurt ant who does it. Well this Monday, starting a new week, I decided to download an app to have a back accountant. So once downloaded, I started fitting the rest of the exams of this curse including my las recuperation in I passed the 3 one and the 7 one and...well, I'm embittered. Once again I have an exam where I'm obliged to pass and if not I'm obliged again to wait for a year. It is true that this exam, module 8 aerodynamics, it's a short one. But on the other hande everyone, I included, think that is one of the hardest. I'm going to explain to you why.
Aerodynamics is one of the exams where you suppose that everything is understood but, at the time that you are in front of the paper, trust me you will fail to make errors with the same level of stupidity that is to not read well the question. My conclusion about these exams is not to study like for module seven an exam of 1300 pages, no. This exam requires another level of understanding. They (instructors/AESA) don't want to know if you remember the formula of the Lift for example. No, that it's implicit, they want to situate you in an unknown situation and look at how you with your knowledge, are able to respond. In other words, it's a manner to check just not the level of memory you have, it's also a way of discovering the power of your deduction or wit.
In my opinion, the exams are not one to be difficult, after a little reflexion, I arrived at the conclusion that: it's fully important to have very secured and fast any kind of info or data about the exam, always to try to save time for the non-ansered parts. In fact and as the last exams, I'm always on the approved part of the exam but are the not sure questions who give me the last points to pass securely.  If I will arrive at Christmas time clean or not will be known in almost 1 month so, boys and girls stay close, bye-bye!  

The die is cast!

Chaaaan chaaan chaaan... Heeeello every one! I know you know it. I know you want it so... Let's start. This week was the week. The week which decides a lot of things in my life. About the exam of module 3(Electricity), I have the feeling that I passed it. I can't have any kind of reproach or complain because having studied it in just 3 days, the result (in my opinion) was quite good. This was my third attempt and I was very very scared because if I failed it I will wait for one year to try it again. Yes, one year. considering that my objective and dream are to pass clean. Directly failing the exam it couldn't be possible. But as I said I have good feelings so, at the moment there's nothing more to do.  With the other one, module 7, was a completely different situation. You must consider that an exam made of a thousand pages, it's impossible to memorize everything. My question was in which manner they will ask us and about what... I don't know you but in my case I not sure about the number of times that I supposed something and finally I was wrong. that's the hardest thing for me. When I'm reading and reading many many pages, it is given the situation when in some moments, I see some info that could me as a question in the exam. Well, this situation occurs me a loooooot. It's horrible, cause sometimes I 'm having in account a lot of data because I consider it's necessary but at the same time I'm trying to resume as much as possible. And both are not compatible. Any way the die is also cast hahaha. Two months of pure study, two months dealing with my private life that wasn't quite or easy or just normal, two months also dealing with my personal problems... to bet everything in two options. It's funny to think about both sides of the coin. One is the level of study, sacrifice, and perseverance that I showed to me. Using my studies as scape is one of the clearest things I've ever done. And the other side of the coin will be the notes. Passed or not the exams I'm glad to know that I did the best, I've superated me and that's such a big prize. And of course, if I passed them, I will be the happiest person in the world. Will I pass the exams? Wait for the next week!

They are here!

For sure when I say in the title "They are here" I'm not talking about the person of the photo(me) hahaha. So, another week we are together to discover the adventures and circumstances that kick my live day a day. As you read in the title, they are here. Ho? obviously the exams. I'm in the last week before them and I started to see that there's not enough time. At the moment I've been studying module 7 for one and a half months. It's true that I spent my time in such a different way. I decided to reorganize myself to calculate how much time I have for the rest of the books that I didn't start. Time is running so fast. Trust me if I tell you that I'm spending between four and five hours every day and some others I profit the full day studying over 8 hours. I started feeling that I need a little break. Some days to disconnect my mind cause these days, I'm hitting her a lot hahaha. And talking about disconnect this week, like the past one, we had one day less. Oh my God, what a pleasure. Wake up on Monday at any hour, with no obligation of having to do a fast shower in the cold morning and without the duty to go out to the street at seven o'clock with 10 degrees Celsius scratching your face... like it was the sweet of your dreams hahaha. Changing the subject of the post, you can see a book over the left-wing of our pipper. This book is the AMM(Aircraft Maintenance Manual). This week we did an interesting practice. It was base, with the plane "jacked", in the servicing of the shock absorber.
My team during the practice was made of Clar, Jovany, and Xisco. It was quite simple to do. Just follow a few steps, learn some new info about linning the landing gear after a maintenance task or how to check the life of the shoes of the break (I know that it isn't part of the shock absorber hahaha) and many situations that take you to learn little things that make the difference. And that's all for this week, let me know how it's going your's and see you next bye byeee!

Hangar!

Heeeey! One more time I'm here to tell you something new about my week. Finally, after a medium period, I had a bearable week. That's because this week we only had four days of class hahaha. Trust me, one day less, for me it's a huge gift. But that's not the better think of the week, the better one was beeing in the hangar of Globalia at the airport. It was very interesting because all the matter done in class related to the systems of the airplane could be seen "in situ". It's very nice to be in front of an engine and be able to understand and recognize most of the parts. We had lucky because was an Airbus A330 and I'm a big fan of Airbus and big planes. Also, we were inside the equipment bay. That place is horrible hahaha, you only see computers and wires or bundles. How it's possible to recognize that quantity of hardware? Seriously, I can't explain all the bundles going in all directions. Another nice thing that passed that day, was to see for the first time the new airplane of the school. In the past, the airplane suffered an accident due to a failure in the nose landing gear. In consequence, the well and the propellers were affected but all the systems work so it doesn't matter. On the other hand, the exams are in two weeks. I still serene. I know that I'm doing as much as possible and always trying to ensure all the info of the books. I never imagined myself studying many many hours and studying this volume of matter. This taught me that, if you want, you will succeed or almost you will know that it isn´t your place and sometimes it is more important that succeed. by the way, it´s not my situation hahaha. Let's see if the next week I sill still serene. See you soon!

Turbocharger!

What's going up guys and ladies? I'm back again to tell you about my last week, just to change a little bit the role of the last posts hahaha. Prank apart, the last week was quite entertaining. We've been disassembling and reassembling a turbocharger. That practice taught me a lot. From technics related to the organisation and cleanliness referred to the place where we (my partner Jovany and I) were working, passing per the ability that we need to acquire to finalize the practice as good as possible and learning how to follow the manuals at the same time that we were solving setbacks that were happing on the way. In addition, I must recognize the work done by Jovany and the patience he has. In my opinion, the couple that we were, was very balanced. It's a luxury to work in a couple or in a group having a good relationship with the others. So from my blog, thank you Jovany. Apart from the FP( Professional Formation in Spanish), I can just tell you how was my study.
As you can see in the photo, it isn't important where but always seated in front of a book. I started two weeks ago and are left 1 month and a little bit more for the module 7 exam. It makes me some pressure. I'm studying between four and five hours per day, including the weekend and even though I'm dedicating a lot of time, the idea of don't have enough time... What can I tell you? It kills me hahaha. Considering of course that I need to reserve at least three or four days for the other exam. I don't know which technics do you use to stay mentally strong. In other words: How do you "stay at the foot of the canyon"? (in Spanish it means: don't surrender, be always up). In my case it's quite simple, I use my studies as a scape. Yes, that's one of my better tricks. One day I realize my self that the curse, could be in two manners. The first one is to consider that it's everything a heaviness, or on the other way, using it to scape. Like some people go cycling or jogging, you can use your studies as a tool to "clear" your mind. And trust me, it's a better option. So, finally, what's waiting for me the next week? I don't know but stay close to know it the next one! 

Booring week

Heeeello friends! How was your week again?
In my case I'm so so sorry but, today I don't have anything, anything minimally interesting to talk about...
So I decided to talk about the way I study and some tips or tricks that I use and I think they could be good for you.
Well as I said the last week, I'm preparing my self for two exams. One of them (Module 7) has 1302 pages. And I have one and a half months to prepare it in addition to the other exam that has another 450. Resting about 300 pages of module 7 that aren't important(more or less) and resting about 100 in the other, you think, how it's possible to prepare myself?
I'm going to talk about the module 7 because the other I didn't start. module 7 is a huge exam with a lot of different matters. One day you are reading something of soldering, the next the about the storage of aircraft, the other about wires and bundles, the other of riveting and so with many more matters. In the first moment, it was quite difficult for me cause I needed to organize all the books and I decided to start with the big ones and continue with the little. They are all enumerated but as a result of the disparity of the matter, I prefer to do in this manner. The first thing I do is read EVERYTHING. Yes and I consider that is the best trick I can give you. Last year I realize that read everything was a very very big tool. Not only to study also to learn English. I use a pencil rubber and that's all that I need to start with the study. It's important to take notes, translate the words that you don't know and underline the most important terms. That's what I mean when I say that I read all the pages. Once it's done you will have a big idea about everything in the book. obviously or almost in my case, its not enough to be prepared for an exam hahaha. TRICK (never never never pass a page with something that you didn't understand)  The second step its to pass the underlined things and the notes to a paper apart. I always try to do
my own notes out of the book. Writing helps me a lot because I
 must to revise what I underlined the day before or the last our in addition to escribe them in a new paper. As I always say, that's
 the second pillar of my study. When you have a general vision of the matter, then comes the time to "cement" the vision or the idea and always trying to memorize all the info. Once it is read and wrote, comes the third step. This one I adopted during the last curse. It is to revise the notes obviously studying. I denote last year that I was studying my notes like the notes were perfect with no errors. In other words, some notes that I did were wrong. So I started to revise as the time that I was reviewing those notes. This trick its so important to me nowadays because is a new way of study conscientiously. Many times I found errors while I'm reading the notes and I stop and search for the good notes. That helps me one more time to refresh and memorize the matter. And that's the way that I study, tell me whats yours and see you next week!

That practice !

New good week guys! How was your last week? I hope brilliant as always! Most of you are thinking about the photo on the left, I now. But first, let me explain a little bit about my week and then I will tell you all about the picture.
So let's start:
in just a few words all my week was based in the library. As my mother sais: "Alvaro please come back home I miss you" hahaha. Prank apart trust me, my life suffered a big change, I live per and for the modules. Last year I succeed with my objective (beeing in the secondary curse the next year). But on the other side of the coin, this year I started very very very busy. I never imagine this. Two big exams that are module 7 (workshop practices) and module 3 (electricity) collide in the same week. Both exams are very extensive and after a little planning, I realized my self that the time nowadays is more than gold. On the other hand, I had an uncomfortable practice. Yes, as you can imagine, the photo is from that practice hahaha. Let me explain:
that practice must be easier but,  our little and old Turbocommander is in a bad situation and conservation. Translated it means that when a work to do can be done in one hour, now it's going to be done in two-three or more. Having said that, sume that the airplane isn't big or almost a medium size airplane. So many of the practice must be done in some kind of uncomfortable position. The result then is the photo that you see hahaha. Finally, the practice was done as good as possible and the Combustion Chamber resides "perfectly" in place. What's waiting for me for the next week? I can't know it but stay there for the next week and you will know it! See you!

I'm back!

Hello again! How was your summer? Did you enjoy your free time? I hope so!
I want to start the first blog of this new curse making an explanation of the English matter structure. It's quite easy. Every week you will have news about me cause this year I must do a blog entry per week. That means a lot of things but the best one is to have frequent contact with you!
 So let's start. Last week was a little bit special because we went to the flight simulator cockpit of the Boeing 737NG. We were like "children in a bakery" or something like that hahaha. The reason to be there was a practice. It consisted of starting the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) and the engines. That was the first and last practice in the cockpit, I'm sad hahaha. Obviously, we did many things but as I said this one was the best one. In theoric, classes are another situation. In another blog I said that we start our day at 07:30  GMT and trust me, it's too early. From Monday to Friday. I'm trying my best hahaha.  In my free time, the situation changed. I started to study because in 21 days I have the first exam in the curse. It's the module 7. It's one of the biggest exams and this one is especially hard because normally we only do a test, but this one has the test and two written questions. In addition, to pass the written ones is required to pass both at the same time, that means: if you pass just one, you don't pass anyone. That scares me a lot. We asked for the exams program and nowadays we only have a "pre" program. No official. I'm not sure if the next sentence exists in English but in Spanish we say; nothing is less". I now that you understand me. Unintentionally I talked about this week, so let's continue.
This week it's being a little bit hard. The column of the matter is very heavy. In the morning we listen for four hours of all the new lessons and in the afternoon around 3 hours of study. I use to go walking over my hood or anywhere because be in a room stresses me. This situation will live with me another four weeks until the module 7 exam and module 3. Give me all your energy please hahaha. In class, we are doing the ATA  (Air Transport Association of America)  number 36. All the knowledge about the Pneumatic system. Fortunately, it's easier than the Electric one, trust me. The electric one is a headache. Too many systems require electric supply. The Pneumatic is very very important but it's shorter too. In one of the practice, we must remove the hydraulic reservoir. And as you can see...YES, It seems like I'm doing contortionism. It was very very uncomfortable. I started to sweat a lot because the place was very little and I was making a lot of force to stay in a relatively good position to unscrew a bolt that was situated in an angle where it was impossible to see for me. Literally, my fingers worked as eyes. In addition, using the rattle, someone confuses the diameter of the bolt and gave me a wrong one. After many attempts, I realize that the rattle was wrong and finally I got the good one. That situation taught me a good lesson because it refreshed me that in this world, most of the repairs must be done in an uncomfortable position. And that's all for this week! Thanks again for your support and see you soon.

Grammar day!

Two Mondays ago, we were in class making a new and different day. We left apart the routine of actuality to cover this big and important space, GRAMMAR.  As you can imagine grammar is the base of this language and in addition the base of the rest of our lives because this world, aviation, the primary and most used language is English. So I found very interesting this kind of class. Ever is the last day or its the day that you know all about something and of course about English. In my case, I can say that I'm a little lover of this language and for me, it's very entertaining to speak and learn new thinks of it.
What we did in class was a few plays that In my opinion were a very easy manner to memorize the new rules and info.
That's what we did in class:
-First of all word order. It's very common that for Spanish people to set in the wrong way the words cause as you know and for example, the adjectives in Spanish are rear the noun. Was a good refreshment this section.
-The second thing that we did was the location. In this case, it wasn't too much useful or entertaining so I'm going to pass to the next exercise.
-Third: Verb Tenses.
In this case, it's very easy for a Spanish person because we have almost three more or fewer times tenses that the English. And in addition to me, it's an easy thing to learn.
-Next was instructions and procedures, a fast refreshment of basic rules that ever is a bad option to talk about of course.
Following was the basic structure of the sentence. As I said for the instructions and procedures talking one more time about it is not a bad desition hahaha.
-Penultimate and one of the more interesting sections was the word endings. It was nice to talk about because in my case, I like to know how to talk as best as possible and I must recognize that sometimes and just sometimes I do mistakes related to word endings hahaha. It was very useful for me to establish some bases to not do some mistakes again, almost someones hahaha.
-And finally, we talked about prefixes and suffixes. How can I talk about them without using some bad words? One of my Achilles heel. I'm not sure if for English people "Achilles heel" means the same for us. Just in case I'm going to explain it. Achilles heel means that that think its one of the things that more cost you or where you are worst at. I don't know why but I tend to confuse a lot both, so was very useful for me to attack them and practise it a little bit more. 
And that was our grammar day, I hope again your entertainment and say you soon, bye byeee!

Xenophobia

The last classes of English we saw three awesome films. They talked about racial discrimination with the objective of raise awareness about the problem that racial discrimination involve.  In the next lines, I'm going to briefly explain in which manner they try to open our eyes.

The first film that we watched was BlacKkKlansman. I didn't know. About the existence of this film and I can say that is a very very amazing film. I suppose that you all know about the war of the Ku Klux Klan that was entirely focus on killing or disturbing or damaging black people. That's what this film represents. A black man that enters in the police of his town to fight the racism. As you can imagine it was a rare situation for the rest of the white polices. Even though he fought one more time for its people. And of course, demonstrating that black people is exactly the same as the white.

The next film that we saw was Invictus. What an amazing film. I saw it earlier than in class but this film is one of them that you want to see again.
Invictus talks about a fantastic rugby team made of black people. In South Africa, rugby was a sport only for white people for a very long time. But in that time also was the first time that in that place a black person became president, he was Nelson Mandela. He fought very strong for the rights of the black people and more importantly, he fought for the equality of all the people.


And the last film that we watched was Hidden Figures. If I must to choose one favourite film I can say for sure that this film it's my favourite one.
This film talks about a super team formed by black women that are enormously intelligent. This team collaborated to send the man to the moon. Of course, is biased in a real story and is one more example of the same conditions and capabilities that the black race has as the white one.  This film is a perfect way to show one more time that everyone is the same. Of course, I'm a super fan of this black women team. they fought days a day to demonstrate it's power, it's enormous power.

And that's all guys I hope that you all enjoyed this new post and I wish that you all think the same as me and these films. No more racial discrimination, no more Xenophobia. Regaaaards. 

MUSLIFE

How many times did you want to have the perfect music all the time?
Today I'm glad to announce that your wish is real.
We are talking about MUSLIFE the revolutionary invention that makes your life a better one.

There is a department fully dedicated to the search for the best way to connect the best technology with the best world possible.
-Construction:
As I said before, everything it's done in the processing chain. Even so, I can give some info about its process:
The most important thing for us is corrosion of the materials. A piece of Composite and metal it's going to be under your skin in direct contact with your internal fluids as the blood. Our company has been searching for more than 5 years the best way to rich the best no corrosive materials. After this 5 years our I+D team discovered that the trick wasn't the material or the treatment. they discovered that using the Copperjelly we don't need to found the no corrosive material. This part is our path to success. I can't tell you how it's done, as you can imagine it's our secret to make the first nervous signals reader ever. And everything in a piece with a size of 3mm per 5mm and a width of 2mm.
-Installation:
This device cannot be installed out of our installations. We have the best technicians and doctors that will ensure the best quality and the less time inverted. Yes, only 25 minutes to install them in your body and will be running for the next year.

The end of A380 ?

Year 2021, what's the first thing that you think about when I say the year 2021? Probably most of you are sad right now, like me. A few days ago, Airbus announced the end of the fabrication of the world biggest passenger airplane. Yes the A380, in that year, will be out of production. For any person related to the aeronautic world and for any person that like airplanes is a very sour knew. The reason? Emirates, the first and principal customer of this majestic airplane cancels around 39 A380 orders. The Airbus CEO Sr. Tom Enders declared the cancelation after the desition of Emirates. Obviously, Emirates is not the only guilty of this situation hahaha. Like Emirates, Air France, and Qatar take this desition. Nowadays, competence in the air is a very strong battle not fightable for everyone. All the companies, like in other sectors must fight day by day with the rest to take a little bit in the market, and a little bit that costs thousands of millions. And one guilty of this costs is this A380, an awesome and big airplane and as big as it's production price, take sit, 360 millions of euros. Airbus, of course, it's making numbers as all the companies, and a few days ago, Airbus arrived at the conclusion that continues producing the A380 with the new cancelations, is not a profitable desition. But the question that has everyone reading this post is:
It's the end of the Airbus A380?
Please, let me ask you to don't doubt at any moment that the Airbus  A380 isn't going to die. If anyone has thought about it, please leave my blog hahaha. 
It's important to understand that in the 2021 Airbus is not going to produce more but, with 234 Airbus A380 flying, we are going to have A380 for many years. Of course, we are in luck. In my opinion, the king of the sky is going to govern for many years letting a legacy very very strong with millions of fans like me, wondering to fly, work or whatever, with him, the A380.  

I wish...

Hello people! How was your January? Today we must talk about an important topic, that is: "How would you like to be taught?" You know that everyone must adapt itself to a system in every country and you don't have the chance to do the same course in other ways. In my class, the teacher asked us which way will be our favorite. It's important to recognize that not everyone is capable to adjust its intelligence or its capabilities aren't the good ones to pass the implanted system. And today we have the possibility to express our wish. 
So let's start!
Well in my case I'm a very restless person, that means many things, one of them its that I need to be in movement as maximum as possible. Why? I don't really know it, I suppose that it's one of my living conditions. For me, it's very helpful to be taught at the same time that I'm running with the same thing that the teacher is telling me.  Situations like my job, I've been taught at the same time that I was practicing and that's a very useful way cause I am more capable to learn. Another reason to be taught like this it's because seated it's very very boring, for me it's like a sleeping pill, trust me. I'm a very very active person and for me, it's very hard to be 4 hours seated only listening to the teacher, or seeing videos or whatever. I would know if you think the same or I'm the rare insect hahaha.
Of course, another point to talk about it's the material used. That means a lot, is not the same to be taught only using a book or just a power point, in front of being taught with a real and modern aircraft or using ludic activities that make of the curse a better and easier one. In my point of view, the practice does the master, and this way permit to settle much better all the knowledge acquired every day and of course to relate what you read or hear of the teacher with the practice done in that airplane or in that ludic activities. Of course, I'm talking about a utopian course but, if it was possible I'm convinced that it will be the best way to be taught. 

JUNKERS G.38

Junkers G.38 probably the first serious attempt to make an airplane capable to cross the Atlantic carrying with a number of passengers ever carried before.
Its creator; Hugo Junkers, a German businessman owner of an aircraft factory ho tried many times before this challenge. was made in 1929 developed of an earlier design called J-40 made for the German air army. Even though anyone else before did it he was convinced of its project and after many problems like the idea of the German air army to do one which could be used also in the air and the water, he bet per this G.38 which only couldn't land in water. It was a very risky bet cause the German air army was going to support economically the project. 
the Junkers G.38 was built with duralumin. Its wings made with a multitubular crossbar also of duralumin. They carried four useful engines responsible for carrying the sum of, at least 16800kg the weight in the vacuum. The tail like in many other planes consisted of two symmetric parts to rest the strength of the aerodynamic effect. 
This airplane was made also to rate the comers of the zeppelins, they were at the moment a very comfort transport hard to dethrone. But the G.38 did it because inside and for the passengers was the first high-class airplane, as you can see a sumptuous intent. at the same time, another impressive fact is that each wing could carry 3 passengers because in the wing root the aircraft has a height of 170cm.
Here I bring you some data taken from the internet that I think you might be interested:

Aluminum cube.

Hello guys, I´m glad to see you here again. Today I want to explain to you, how is working on our laborious aluminum cube. First of all, you must know why we are working on an aluminum cube. The reason, train, get better, develop and acquire hand skills. As it´s obviously a good mechanic must have a great knowledge of the use of its hands, cause all that you must to do is with them. To do it, we must follow some rules with specifics tolerances, with them we start from a large tube of aluminum, from it we cut many sections. Every student must to take one and then, starts the nightmare hahaha. With the piece, you go directly to the lathe cause you need as minimum one perfect face. Next, we cut the cylindrical piece to give the form of a cube, here starts the first exhausting work. With a saw you must to cut over 5cm four times. This work gives you the feeling of not doing anything. It´s very very slow work, trust me. It´s the same as a snail moving. When you have cut all the faces comes the moment of the file. If cutting you have the feeling of not doing anything or the same as seeing a snail moving, the file will remember you the same as seeing a snail in slow motion. For sure you are going to spend many many hours until you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and another amount of hours to complete all the cube. Once you have finished this two works it's time to check if you have done a good work respecting the tolerances. When the tolerances are just the size of the thickness of a paper sheet. In this point, the nightmare ends, the exhausting work it´s done. The light isn´t shinning cause that's not all the work to do but you have advanced a lot. It´s very comforting. To continue  it's moment to mark the piece to lateral drill. In a first moment you think that is an easy and fast work but... PAAAM, unexpectedly comes a sudden knock from nowhere. Probably for me, it´s the hardest work. As I said we must to follow several rules to mark the cube and to do correctly the holes. Once we have marked it, we can start drilling. Fortunately, this part is done with a machine if not we will continue suffering the nightmare. The foto above correspond to this moment. A subsection; while I Washington writing, I saw a little mistake. Every work done in a workshop, you must before do it, follow the safety rules, in this case, the mistake it´s that I wasn't using the safety glasses. Don´t tell it to my teachers shhhh it´s our secret hahaha. Continuing with the cube it´s time to ream, that means to pass through the drilled holes the reamer to remove all the burr and impurities and at the same time  polish. It´s incredible the precision of the tools because when the ream it´s finished, the reamer passes through the hole perfectly without "dancing" inside. If you try to pass a simple hair between the reamer and the hole you will see that it´s impossible. Now we have the cube, all the holes with different sices done and now it's time to make the thread. This time there´s no automatic tool again. With a screw thread and your hands in three steps or sizes, you will slowly doing the thread, fortunately, the through holes doesn´t need to be thread. Once all the threads are done the following step is to set all the screws and bolts, in total 20. The screws and bolts are special to break after being set, using a special lockwire. This part for me it´s the best one because lockingwires entertain me a lot. Again we must follow special rules to lock them. At this point, finally, the light it´s shinning, the cube its done. I remember that at that moment I looked back thinking: "finally after hours and hours and hours of cut and polish and all the steps, the cube it´s done". The feeling it´s very comfortable cause after hard work, you have the shimmering prize in your hands. 

Yeeees it is !!!

 Can you recognize this airplane?
For the huge majority of the people this airplane it´s a prank, but the day of the innocents was 6 days ago. I´m glad to present you the Airbus A300-600ST Beluga the supercargo airplane made by Airbus to move airplane pieces from the different bases of the company. It´s my duty to recognize that this airplane is not my favorite one, but one of them.
And which is the reason to have this airplane as one of my favorites? Because it´s enormously ugly. Yes, that's the reason.  If this airplane was a human he would suffer hydrocephalus. In fact, his big bump it´s a work of engineering art. In my opinion, it´s a new done challenge. An example of no limits of the human. But now it´s time to talk about figures and data. As I said before the name is Airbus A300-600 ST Beluga. Here are the
figures and data:

• Crew: two pilots (+one cargo boss in the new version of the Beluga)
• Capacity: 1.400 m³
• Load: 47.000 kg
• Length: 56,2 m (184,2 ft)
• Wingspan: 44,8 m (147,1 ft)
• Height: 17,2 m (56,6 ft)
• Aerofoil: 258,8 m² (2 785,8 ft²)
• Weight in vacuum: 86 000 kg (189 544 lb)
• Maximum weight at take-off: 155 000 kg (341 620 lb)
• Powerplant: 2× turbofán GE CF6-80C2A8.
  • Normal thrust: 120 kN (12 236 kgf; 26 977 lbf) of thrust each one. 
• Cabine width: 4,07 m
• Fuselage diameter: 7,1 m, in the cargo compartment
• Angle of wings: 25º
• Distance between axes: 11,05 m
• Width of the way: 7,59 m
• Maximum weight at landing: 140.000 kg
• Maximum weight without fuel: 133.500 kg
• Fuel capacity: 23.860 / 32.250 /34.430 liters.
• Maximum operative velocity (V_no): (Mach 0,82)
• Scope: 4 630 km (2 500 nmi; 2 877 mi) with a load of 26 t. 2778 km (1.726 mi; 1.500 nmi) with a load of 40 t.

In my point of view, this kind of data and figures are the evidence of a spectacular airplane that governs one of my top favorite places, obviously not only the thing that is enormously ugly it´s the reason to be in my top hahaha.

WHAT´S FLYING ?

 Mission impossible (secret nation). Did you see this film anytime? I hope so cause it´s a fabulous film. Today I´m here to show you all the things that appear flying in this film. I´m talking about anything that appears in movement in the air. From a simple rock until an airplane, so let go!

Before all the objects that I´m going to show you, I want to explain that I´m not following any type of preference or chronological order. Having said that, I´m ready to start.

1. Rocks; due to many explosions it´s very easy to see them flying along all the film.

2. Crystals; due to the same cause as the rocks.

3. Bricks; again the guilty or guilties are the explosions.

4. Helicopter; appears when Luther Stickell arrives to help William Brand.

5. Airplane; probably one of the best scenes of this film is when Ethan Hunt needs to enter in an Airbus A400m, a military airplane that it´s taking off and Ethan is hooked in a little door waiting to the opening of this door by Benji Dunn.

6. Motorbike; another great scene is the persecution of Iisa Faunt. During them, we can see some of them flying.

7. Cars; also we can´t forget when Ethan and Benji, doing the persecution, they fly with the BMW M5 ending in a big and spectacular crash.

8. Bullets; if you are a fan of this saga you will know that it's completely unnecessary an example in the film of a bullet flying because it occurs hundreds of times along the film. 

9. Smoke; in this case, I want to remember the moment when the MI6 team catches Solomon Lane in a transparent box and to sedate Solomon, they use a sedative suspended in air, like a vapor or smoke.

10. Tool; used by Iisa Faust to hurt an enemy and try to liberate Ethan. 

11. Blood; as the actors fly, if they are hurt the blood also fly with them. 

12. Water; falling from the hair of Iisa when she is leaving the pool. Also when Ethan must jump into the refrigeration system among other cases.
