The end of MAS B747 pax fleet perhaps.
-
After years of fighting for supremacy, Airbus and Boeing decided to merge and conquer the world of aviation. The Airbus 737-300 is the first fruit of their labour.
-
They used to bug MAS for more flights, seems to be AK's turn now.
-
You shouldn't have bothered listening to those people anyway. A complete waste of time.
-
Try this.
Second sector of the day, flying across the Indian Ocean in the middle of the night, the radio is quiet since we're on HF and using SELCAL, both Captain and FO are sleepy understandably and suddenly the MASTER WARNING ALARM" goes ! Within seconds both will be wide awake with bloods pumping and heart racing faster than the plane itself and it is a really good fright I'll promise you.
Eventually they'll realized it's another "Lavatory Smoke" alarm caused by some idi0t smoking in the toilet. If only you can flush them out.
-
it is lucky that the plane has enough speed for take off and well done to engine 2 for supporting!Goodness!!
this is a very dangerous case for a twin engine plane right?
~~~~hish~~~~
It is a problem but not really that dangerous as losing an engine in isolation is not that big a deal. The problem comes if there is something else affected by the engine separation such as flight controls, fuel tank/lines etc.

Maybe he's just a frustrated "Angkasawan" wannabee.
-
I wonder when MAS will have one.
-
With one plane I would be very worried if the one and only plane has a technical problem and is grounded for repairs.With an old plane it's not the matter of if but when. Those who chose to travel on AAX better have some buffer days on their schedule.
-
Nope.I don't know about you guys...but isn't that the least bit worrying?
Only if you let it and to say relying on computers as Airbus policy is not entirely correct.Sounds like it is part of Airbus' philosophy of relying on the computers to control the aircraft rather than the other way around? -
Now that Tony has got his wished, I wonder when he'll start making noise about having more frequency to SIN ?
-
Lawyers shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the cockpit.
How about the few Captains-Lawyers they have in MAS?
I do agree that the statement made by the lawyer was really dumb.
-
Boleh, boleh. This is Malaysia !
-
He was and a good exco too. He will be missed.
-
They do use it, from time to time and slot permitting of course.
-
It looks to me it'll make a good freighter perhaps ?
-
Well we all know there are plenty of Malaysians flying for Etihad. Those who flew the A340 and 777 got their chance to fly home ever since they started flying to KLIA. So now perhaps it's the A330 boys turn to fly home.
-
Logically I don't see why those 2 airports especially KCH needs a LCCT. Then again nothing about local aviation seems logical lately anyways.
-
A former MAS fleet manager heads the company and flying the aircraft.
-
Caught a few airlines by surprise including our own MH 52 and 53.
-
It's the DCA callsign for their calibrator aircraft and as the name suggest they do calibration work on the ILS, VORDME etc.
-
Understand MH announced an interim bonus of half month or RM1000 which ever is higher for everyone to calm down discontent staffs.
A little too late I believed and those who got the special payment before will get another windfall so there is another bone of contention.
Serba serbi salah and nasi sudah menjadi bubur.

I believe that wheels/brakes fire actually occurred in Changi? And had something to do with the automatic use of the cargo doors??? I remember reading something about it in Mark Wagners A330/A340 book.... it could be factually wrong, but yeah...The A330s haven't been good to MAS, but this is where the Airline should have taken the opportunity to changeover to the A333X which is a far better variant of the A330 - and the one that is popular among airlines today! MAS A330s are simply first-gen bug riddled technology that is a pain in the @r$3 to maintain given the non-commonality with the remainder of the Boeing fleet and general "Airbus pilot-friendly, non-engineer-friendly" reputation doesn't help.
Other publicised incidents I can recall with MAS A330-300 fleet:
1. Faulty Oil Pressure/Temperature gauge - led to diversion to Exmouth in NW Aust, en route KUL-PER
2. Cut wires in avionics bay - possible rat intrusion at KLIA
3. Hydraulic fluid splashed in cockpit - !!!??!?!?!?!!
4. Hydraulic failure - KCH-KUL --flight returned to KCH--
5. Off-runway incident - KCH-KUL --nosewheel bogged in mud at RWY 25 turning pad--
6. Off runway incident - BLR-KUL --nosewheel bogged in mud at Bangalore airport--
7. IFSD - BKI --compressor surge/stall in engine
I think that is pretty much it. Not bad for +11 years of service..
IIRC, the first A330 was in Malaysia in 1994 at SZB? I remember landing on a flight from PER and disembarking at the cargo apron and seeing 9M-MKA sitting pretty on the deck! Was a very excited 12yo!
Actually, the first A330 arrived in 1995 and flew in March or April if I'm not mistaken and the first one was 9M-MKC.

I can see this happening when,
a) Changi sank into the sea.
b ) Suvarnabhumi sank into the swamp.
