    Teoh, Min Chun

     

    Good idea for spotting at PEN. PM me your mobile no.'s and I'll contact you when I arrive at PEN (going there on AK on Jan 29 morning).

     

    Mr Ooi? Probably in the terminal building, not in the tower. Airport is run by MAB but tower is still under DCA.

     

    PR NDB is actually near Bagan Serai (not Parit Buntar) and VFR flights used to report there. Nowadays we are told to go for Tg Piandang by Butterworth Approach and switch to Penang Tower from there.

    Attan... Yes, PR is near Bagan Serai, just by the main road. It's quite misleading about this NDB because it is nearer to Bagan Serai but it's named Parit Buntar.

     

    Em... Is there an NDB or whatever navigation facility at Tanjung Piandang? Or do you just identify Tg. Piandang with your bare eyes? And yeah... I have been thinking to spot at Tg. Piandang beach as I believed a/c approaching WMKP Rwy 04 could pass by the shore just some miles away... Or even right above us...

     

    OK... Let's spot at Penang when possible! I'll be back on Chinese New Year for about four days.

    TK... If you come PEN and I'm back home (varsity holidays), I'd be glad to show you the spots! ;-) Let me know if you have a plan. Steps are prefered, otherwise you'll have to climb up your four-wheeler...

     

    Those TT pictures are the common spots I hang out at...

     

    Ai seh... Penang spotters... Any spot-together plans?

    Wah..maybe me..this kid should folllow MWs Penang spotter to spot..but without camera..just hearing the sound and wacthing the metal bird would cheer me up !  cool.gif

    So i think every spotter in Penang stand on the same spot..turn left from main road(beside Follow Me Building or xxx building if not  mistaken laugh.gif )..then turn right then go straight..right? Get wat i mean?  tongue.gif

    Eh Min Chun, you Penang guy ah? Next time I go back Penang I let you know-lar if I go spotting...

     

    Attan, Chinese New Year there? If I get a car to go spotting maybe I can let you know and also Min Chun can follow... Deal? rolleyes.gif

     

    Poor Sing Yew... I understand your feeling... I remember the airspace above my house (near PR NDB) was once uni-directional. It's getting more exciting these past months when Butterworth Approach or whatever (Penang Tower or Lumpur Center) allows inbound traffic to WMKP above my house! They are pretty low; can't tell how low but lower than outbound traffic would be... So I get to see a variety of a/c at relatively low altitude above my house...

    So sorry, Min Chun, can't help you there. I was just visiting PEN when I took those shots. Was in PEN Dec 30 to refuel my C172 and then off to LGK. Popped into the Control Tower to submit my flight plans but didn't have time to "sembang" with the controllers but maybe next time when I'm there I'll casually ask them for the traffic flow pattern at PEN.

    Attan... Is Mr. Ooi the manager still there?

    I wouldn't want to be in the plane if I were allowed to control the thrust levers during takeoff... blink.gif blink.gif Can anyone trust me...? Haha...

     

    Oh... The alarm rang because the a/c was not in the right configuration to allow the levers half-way up; we were at parking mode... Aiks... The pilots know better!! Anyone...?

    Min Chun,

     

    I spot at Penang quite often lately since I gained more freedom (from my dad biggrin.gif ) being a university student and above 21. I've got some pictures. See if I can post some here soon... The problem is, most of the time I go spotting, I don't have a camera with me. Merely presenting myself at the airport vicinity and having those metal birds flying over the skies and making so much noice is enough to fascinate me... Of course, having a camera along would be most valuable, but... what can I do... poor guy... laugh.gif

     

    Sure, if I got pictures I'll post here! smile.gif

     

    Ignatius,

     

    yeah, Penang has a wide breadth of Cargo's serving. Besides those you mentioned, there is also UPS and they serve Penang with their 757! Rarely can one find 757 in the skies of Penang, but here is one! tongue.gif Nevertheless, Penang traffic can be banal after sometime; rarely do visitors come.

     

    Attan was standing by the fence east of the airport! ;-) There's where I stand most of the time to spot! biggrin.gif

     

    Eh... Those who spot at Penang, we go together-lah next time...?

    Wao..u play around with thr thrust lever ar?

    When take off? laugh.gif

    23137[/snapback]

     

     

    Yeah... I played with the thrust levers. But actually, when the alarm rang the f/o got a shock... Probably he thought the engine was still on... laugh.gif

     

    What you mean by "when take-off"? unsure.gif

    Hey... Was in The Mall yesterday and came to this second-hand bookstore - Chest.

     

    Saw a handbook - Conversation Guide for Cabin Crews, Malaysia Airlines.

     

    I think it's an official guide from MAA... Check it out! It's a typical handbook, light green cover with batik texture. Cheap; RM 10.00.

    Gloves! Yes, gloves. That was the first thing I noticed when I was in the cockpit long ago. After the flight, engines off, gloves also off. Looks good when landing with a pair of gloves... biggrin.gif

     

    Was on AK 50 to Macau recently. The captain left his office and went behind chatting with the cabin crews, so I took the opportunity to attempt a visit to the cockpit in-flight. The captain refused, but I was allowed in the cockpit after flight. Captain wasn't too friendly, but the Mat Salleh f/o was delighted to entertain me. So, I asked to allow me to shove the thrust levers and grip the yoke and play around with it! Being a simulator pilot, how meaningful it is to be able to give a touch on the controls! At least I feel the grip... laugh.gif Pushing the thrust levers up rang the alarm! Wrong config I was told... tongue.gif

     

    How come, I was always told it is company regulation that no visitors in the cockpit during flight, but there are still visitors on these company flights? huh.gif

    Malaysia also saw this kind of drama few years back

    when 2 Germans landed a Cessna 172 on the North-South Highway

    some where near Rawang I think.

    They almost hit the rear of a truck, but managed to brake on time  biggrin.gif .

    Cessna was rented from Royal Selangor Flying Club, and had engine problems.

     

    PLUS had to close the highway for the take-off after engine repaired 2 days later. wink.gif

    Yeah... I remember that! Anyone has the footage of the whole scenerio?

    Hello Teo

     

    How can I forget a hardcore aviation fan like you!

     

    Yeah, I don't regularly update my website except for progress on my A320 Home Cockpit. Last post Nov 3 2005.

     

    What's your present location?

    16595[/snapback]

     

    Attan... Yeah, I know about your cockpit building... Great job... Hope to try it uot one day! biggrin.gif

     

    Now in UM... Second year... smile.gif

    It seems most prefer Boeing... I wonder why?

     

    I myself is a Boeing fan, the 7n7 where n = 3, 4, 5, 6,7 in particular, but I can't deny the A330 and A340 are beatiful, aspecially from certain angle. The A320... in my opinion, dry.gif

     

    Pieter, you highlighted A320. May I know what is special about it? I'd really like to know what I don't... laugh.gif Thanks!

    Hi TK

     

    Don't call me "Mr." lah. I feel so old already  dry.gif  "Attan" will do.

     

    Thanks for the explanation on the AP takeoff settings. Too bad I can't arm my LNAV/VNAV  in MSFS - it's either ON or OFF.

     

    So in EWR Newark Seven, you use HDG SEL to make the first turn. Do you then (1) activate the LNAV and use it for the second turn (at 4 DME ILS) or (2) you turn the HDG knob or (3) "wack" the yoke manually?

     

    When you wrote "Set CLIMB thrust" in the FMA, is there a "CLB" button on your glareshield? or is it set by sliding your throttle levers forward? Sorry for asking all this but I'm an Airbus driver  biggrin.gif

     

    Nice to hear your R/T recording, you sound perfectly clear but I can't say the same for your Captain lah.

     

    A few more questions  smile.gif :

     

    At what level do you activate your Yaw Damper and when do you disengage it?

     

    Do you switch off your APU after engine start? and when do you put it back on? (before or after landing?)

     

    Are all your PACKS off during takeoff and landing?

     

    Your B777 equipped with EFB?

     

    Don't worry I swear I won't say anything outside this forum to anybody.

     

    I also have a flightsimmer friend in Stockholm who's building this B737 cockpit at home (see pic). I'll tell him that you go to ARL often.

    Yo... Attan! Now you are with us!! So glad to see you here! I still have your card you gave me at the Penang Air Carnival back in 2001! It was great to sim with you that time... But your website no updates one huh...? biggrin.gif
