Got it after a couple of times trying. 2K is generous for a simple job, so it doesn't really matter.

The wingtip is just inches from the runway. Wonder how much left rudder it takes to correct that. Doesn't 44 knots exceed some airliner's limitation for crosswind landings?

KLM update page KL810 KUL-AMS appears on the list of active flights. Could it be PH-BVD?

I was due to leave Kuala Lumpur on Thursday April 15th on KL810, also on Skyteam PH-BVD. Went to the airport twice, only to learn my flight was cancelled on both occasions. On the first occasion we were already at the gate, but were not allowed into the waiting area until finally some gate agents told us the night's flight's been cancelled, there wasn't even a PA announcement unlike a couple of MH flights that were due to depart before us. Wished there were more seats down the corridor, those without seats were either sitting on their trolleys or on the floor . Decided to change my booking to the next available flight, and was rebooked to 25th April after holding on the line for 20 minutes. Had to call KLM Jakarta, I just couldn't reach their office in KL. By the way PH-BVD was the same aircraft that flew me to KUL last month!

20 747s? 15 cargo 747s? Preposterous

my fav - 737 and 777 all the way!

Aren't chopper pilots supposed to be in the cockpit holding down the collective control while the main rotor is revolving, even when the engine's off? I saw the rule somewhere, can't recall.

The songs I could recall DomesticMH "If I Could Change the World" by Eric Clapton some raya and deepavali instrumental songs(festive season) Instrumental - "Against all Odds" the rest couldnt remember but it does jazz up your landings, Most of the songs are 80's/90's I think

"Nice landing Captain!"

Been in SevenFour to BKI once in 2005, seated in jumpseat. Yup Captain used full reverse, landed on Runway 20, VOR-DME approach. On landing roll a F50 pilot holding short of runway commented our landing, and the 4 of us had a good laugh in the cockpit.

Ohhh so sorry Pieter!

anybody watching new season of Air Crash Investigation on National Geographic? next episode: a captain let his child into the cockpit and played with the controls. anybody has info on that incident?

i think it's for the ground vehicles but definitely not for fuel trucks. planes at klia get fuel from an underground reservoir system from the fuel farm. those fuel trucks only act as pumps and to measure amount of fuel boarded onto planes..

Have you checked out the bookstore at KLIA? Plenty of magazines there Imran, from piston-engined planes to airliners...

Anyone got Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook? I got one, and I have How Airliners Fly too, bought it from A & R for AU$34.77 at Queen St BNE.

I just love those old jets You mean "Cooper Vane"? Quite a funny story. After the incident, Boeing installed the Cooper Vane mechanism (if I'm not mistaken) to prevent the aft door from being opened inflight.

Wahh so nice to see AOR from that vantage point. Thank u Mr Norman, but there's no Rwy 21 here....22/04

Hello everyone. Just out of curiosity, who makes VFR sectional charts for Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia? Is it the DCA? And how to get them? One more thingy, anybody here went to Viewing Area on 18th November to take pix of A380, around 0600 to 0700, a Chinese. And at LIMA on 10th December I met him again. He seems familiar, just wanna know if that gentleman's a member here. And to the gentleman, please squawk IDENT. Thanks

Wow 738?! Gotta try it! Think I'll take a 734 from AOR to KUL then 738 to LGK then 744 to KUL for LIMA. LOL 'All-Boeing' combination. Must be a long time before 738 will be deployed to AOR. By the way the new terminal in AOR is nearing completion. There'll be a fast-food restaurant, a specialty store, a Halal food restaurant, and some other shops - duty free I think. Only two aerobridges...
