Day 33 - October 4th

CAE finally received the special sound-dampening carpet pad and today they installed the carpet on the flight deck. They'll have to rerun the QTG for the sound system and tune it for the new acoustics now that there's quite a bit less echo on the flight deck.

Something else that is new is that there is a dimmer on the lights for the back of the flight deck area where the instructor sits. I think this will be a nice feature. Also, the lights are mounted in the ceiling behind some louvers that seem to direct the light downward and should help reduce reflections and glare in visual and off the instruments.
