Crew rest is strictly enforced and as IP noticed we got a bit relaxed, two folks that got caught made an example. I was one of the caught two. All of my events for today got canceled and basically I just studied entire day. Crew rest is 12 hours rest period away from squadron. We were under impression as long as we were out of flight room, time stopped and crew rest started. Due to this, my check-ride probably will happen Monday. Tomorrow, I have one formation flight followed by pre-check. But poor weather is starting so things may not go so well.
Also, today we lost a member of our flight. He was so behind, flight commander decided to wash him to previous flight. Now he has extra month to complete UPT.
Today, I discovered a neat little video that I recommend readers to watch. It's 8 mins and shows some of fun things during formation flight.
