In my flight test last year, the examiner asked me what to do in case of radio failure. Of course I know the answer but I made one mistake because of the strange use of Japanese language. It is about the color - we call green as "MIDORI" and blue as "AO" in Japanese. The Japanese strange custom is that in terms of signal color we call green as "AO" which usually means blue, so we call this green signal as blue in Japanese. In case of NORDO (no radio), we have to check the tower signal to be steady green before landing, is the right answer, but my answer was "steady blue!" The examiner gave me a questioning look when I answered and I looked at him again after my answer because I was confident of it.
hey quickrhino!! love the vioeds can i ask, can you do a video on the study experience in japan? i am going japan this winter for a year and i was wondering how if its very different class wise, a lot more or less work? and when you got back home, did they take your grades exactly as how they were or did they alter them in some way as to fit the american grading system? (im from the uk and i know here they change it or something)///thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
