  1. Dear Mwingers.

     

    I hope someone here could help me to identify Malaysian Airport Callsigns... I don't mean the like of WMKK or WMKJ.. but I mean the callsigns Pilot addresses the Control Tower (Air & Ground) when Aprroach, Landing, Taxiing, Rolling, Takeoff. Tried googling but to no available. So Hellp me please :help:

    As far as I know, all Callsigns in Malaysia are using the name of the area itself e.g Subang tower/ground, Lumpur tower/ground, Penang tower/ground and so on...

    After airborne from KLIA you normally call Lumpur approach North or South.

    Then later will be transfered to Lumpur Control(Center).

     

    Other places like Jakarta airport, the callsign is Cangkareng tower/grd or Medan another example also known as Polonia tower/grd...etc...


  2. Love is definitely one of the thing you must have in your work. But in reality, you need to be paid enough amount to sustain your living style. When family come into the picture, you going to need even more money. That's when things change but that's life... With all the nicest things that a pilot can have in his office everyday, he has to go through base check every 6 months, medical check up every year, away from home most of the time and more. A base check is just like going for SPM... except for your job depends on it, and your family counting on you :)

     

    Same as cabin crew, they have to remember a lot of stuff too, emergency drills, also test here and there.

     

    So every year, we celebrate merdeka a few times more than other people,hehe...


  3. hmmmm this is not a good advertisement for the Mad Dog! But stuff like this happens from time to time... oh well, good to hear no one was seriously injured! :) I believe that this procedure is even practiced in the Sim?? any of our pilots here can share a little info, perhaps? :good:

     

     

    Normally the procedure requires us to use alternate landing gear extension. Otherwise a 2G turn can be made if alternate extension fails. Sim is crazy, the instructor can give you virtually anything! one engine inoperative and another one on fire. double engine flameout, or landing gear collapsed after landing,explosion during cruise phase etc....if they runout of idea to play with the instructor's panel, they'll act as a stewardess or disruptive passenger and start giving you all the problems in the world with no solution...heheh... :D all of this just to distract you from the main objetive...to fly the aircraft...


  4. Must be the ultimate 'I QUIT!' statement. :D

     

     

    Not the best way to leave a company but it's better that way than to be sorry later on.

    I think the relevant authority should audit the maintanace department bcoz the accusation is very serious and might cost people's lives.

    The capt need to be heard...

    and get feedback from all the pilots as well. B)


  5. Many bizjet owners based in Subang will charter out their aircraft to friends and other people for biz trips, holidays, etc. for a reasonable fee. Those working at Subang airport can give you more information on this. You must remember however that they also have to recover the cost of returning the aircraft to Subang and sending the aircraft out to fetch you back from your destination. Not cheap, but many people still use them (especially to impress their biz partners or their girlfriends).

     

    Hi Attan,

     

    Are you with RSFC?

    How much does it cost nowadays to rent a cessna 172? It was around RM300+ in 2003.
