AirAsia Group/AirAsia X Group Service Changes
Walter Sim replied to Naim's topic in General Aviation
AirAsia X ending Narita -
CX provides very attractive fares for flight out of HKG from KUL. Believe a lot of pax on CX flight do not have HKG as their final destination.

They're usually very quick, depending on your location (Subang should not take too long) Perhaps it will be more useful if you were to publish the dates you're coming, someone might be free to bring you out and about.

Malaysia Airlines plane fire forces emergency landing
Walter Sim replied to flee's topic in General Aviation
faster approach speed, more landing distance (less stop margin), brake overheat (tyre burst). It won't cripple the gears if done correctly but typically the aircraft will be pulled off service for a thorough structural check, which might mean days/weeks grounded hence loss of revenue. Which is why typically for a less urgent technical fault, they will burn/jettison fuel until their below their max landing weight. The minor fault can then be fixed and plane can resume service. -
I seriously doubt so

Germanwings A320 Crashes in French Alps - First Officer Suicide
Walter Sim replied to BC Tam's topic in General Aviation
IMHO, the FBW flight envelope only provides protections to its namesake; overspeed, stall , excessive G etc, even so the pilot will be able to override the said protections if he wants to. Terrain avoidance will be under a different system, the GPWS & EGPWS. However it only supplies the bells and whistles. The autopilot will probably disconnect at one point close to ground and if without any pilot intervention it will just fly to the ground. -

MAS A333 Flight MH136 Incident in Adelaide
Walter Sim replied to Mohd Azizul Ramli's topic in General Aviation
MH136 is taking off in the roll, the other plane was supposed to land after the MH. Think the landing traffic went around and if the MH would have taken off they'll be converging on the same path. -

Malaysianwings 9th Anniversary - 28 June 2014
Walter Sim replied to Hon Kit's topic in General Aviation
Glad the haze wasn't that bad! -
ATC will randomly assign a squawk number to the aircraft, the pilots will then input and therefore "assign" the given code it to the aircraft he's flying. Without the squawk code and the transponder, aircrafts will just be a tiny blip on the screen, with it it will show the callsign, height, speed etc (depending type of transponder used) on the radar screen. Like the flight above, from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney, what happens normally Lumpur ATC will assign MH143 with a squawk number upon receipt of clearance. Most probably as it switches over to Singapore ATC there is another aircraft under Singapore's control which shares the same squawk number, as such it is instructed to squawk 2147 instead to avoid confusion.

Lion Air and NADI announced a JV - Malindo Air
Walter Sim replied to BC Tam's topic in General Aviation
still got, at least it can be prebooked online. -
I can attest to point number 1. Was at K8 3 days ago waiting for my flight, heard those sounds that seem to have come from the ceiling. Felt like the ceiling is going to collapse anytime.
