1. Manuel Diaz has been flying with Air Amadeus for a long time. The last 7 years he flew as a training captain on the Airbus A330. He is confident about his flying skills and knows the Airbus A330 very well. He met Hirisho 3 weeks ago when they were paired for this training session. Manuel likes Hirisho: he works very hard, knows his stuff and is eager to learn. However the second flight before this one, Manuel nearly had to take over control during a landing of Hirisho in unstable weather conditions. Heavy verbal coaching was needed to make a safe landing and roll-out. This was thoroughly discussed and briefed. The last landing of Hirisho in fair stable weather was on standard. Manuel is in doubt about the release of Hirisho. And now the weather turns bad in Colombo...
2. Hirisho Uzumi wanted to be a pilot his entire life. After school he applied at the flight school of Japanese Airlines, but was turned down. He then pursued his dream in a private flight school in America, using the savings of his parents to pay for his tuition. After graduating Hirisho applied at several smaller Air-taxi companies to gain experience and after five years was hired by the expanding Air Amadeus. He is immensely proud of being a f/o on such a big jet as the Airbus A330, but finds handling the big airplane difficult in the last part of the approach and landing. He keeps his knowledge at above standard level, but feels his handling is sometimes below standard, especially in windy conditions. His last landing in these conditions was below standard and his instructor nearly took over controls. He really wants to show on this last flight that he can handle the Airbus A330 in any conditions. Luckily , he thinks, he gets a chance at Colombo today, to get it right and convince Manuel Diaz that he can be installed as a fully qualified f/o at Air Amadeus. He can't wait to tell his parents.
