Since my return back to Germany I started on the CAT ratings.
I passed CAT 1 last sunday and powered up for CAT 02 yesterday. After the second lap on downwind for the third I experienced radio outages. So I squawked 7600 and head out for Oceano.
I use a BOSE X headset connected to my PC, which requires a kind of converter which is dependent on battery power (9V). When the battery is low, I cannot transmit over the radio but still be able to hear othedrs.

However, with the battery recharged today, the CAT 03 went well.

I also installed a new rudder this morning, which offers control loading, so I can feel the forces required to yaw left or right. When on ground, I can even feel the bumps of the nose wheel when moving over the concrete.

I heard you on the radio this morning loud and clear - Congrats on what sounded like expert flying for the CAT ratings

Thanks.

I'm by far not an expert. Probably I improved over the course of the two years as a PE member, but only after experiencing pretty much pitfalls.
It looks like you are new to PE. Being a member and holding a subscription will definitely improve your radio skills and aviation procedures, wether you are a flying for real like me or just flying with a PC simulator.
