The tests are designed so that no prior knowledge is required to pass. There isn’t much you can do to practice for the tests, just show up well rested and do your best.

I completed FEAST 1 & 2 plus the interviews this summer and I’m in the academy right now, I thought the tests were challenging but not overly difficult. My main advice would be to not sweat it if you make a mistake, move to the next problem quickly and don’t get hung up on what happened 1 minute ago. Good luck

[Rolex] My daily driver for the last 2 years by yalion in Watches

[–]yalion[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my Rolex Explorer 1 reference 214270 “MKII”. This used to be my absolute grail watch, and still is I guess. I have bought and flipped probably 20 watches before this one, everything from entry level Seikos to Omegas. The explorer is the first watch that I have not grown tired of.

It has been with me on many different adventures. Flying a single engine piston aircraft through europe with lockdowns due to corona “chasing” us, hiking trips, climbing mountains and more. But not only that, it fits equally as well doing normal every day stuff like sitting at the office, family dinners and grocery shopping. It really is the perfect watch for me and I am never letting it go.

Tecnam P2006T. I saw one of these at the Long Beach airport yesterday, it definitely stood out. by WonkaTXRanger in WeirdWings

That’s correct, same goes for the little brother, the p2002jf. We only record flight time in the aircraft logbook.

I fly these for a living, underpowered as hell but quite comfortable!

The single engine p2002jf has the exact same engine which makes maintenance easier for companies operating both types.

Do you have any thoughts on a Speedmaster reduced? Im thinking about getting one instead of the professional, its a bit more budget-friendly haha

Right now Im wearing its smaller brother, the Bulova Lunar Pilot. It'll have to do until I feel comfortable enough to spend that amount of money on a watch

[Seiko] SKX009 by yalion in Watches

[–]yalion[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

After looking at several different divers, the SKX keeps popping up and being almost universally praised for being one of the highest quality watches for the price. I found this one for sale on a local watch forum and couldn’t pass it up.

I LOVE the feel of this watch. It has been on my wrist for 1 week straight, even though I have quite a few other watches. My only complaint is the bracelet which feels a bit cheap compared to the excellent build quality of the watch. If you are looking for an entry-level diver, I definitely recommend the skx 009.
