Timothy, before you take the first step, I shall warn you, 4 months for PPL is something possible when:
1.Aircraft available
2.Instructor available
3.Weather permissable
4.Trainee is able to cope.
PPL rely a lot on external factors rather than you alone.
-
Same here, I'm not updated with the current prices. Normally you have to do the local airlaw paper before you can fly there. Normally one has to go for a checkride with the club's instructor before flying their aircraft. In order for you to fly their planes,you also have to join their membership.

sorry for starting a whole new thread about this,but I'm curious if GGIFA (@ Bintulu) accept private candidates ? My 4 months+ summer break is approaching soon, and getting a PPL in M'sia is still cheaper than doing it in the UK where i'm studying. My parents are open to the idea... as well as the costs. the .pdf on GGIFA quoted RM33855 for the PPL course and a training duration of 13 weeks.
is this price about right ? it's without accomodation.
I think it's a bit tight but not impossible.

They always show the nice part like simulator to the visitor. Next time put them in jumpseat during line training, hehehe....

We might be looking at BTP 10.
-
So the 738 spends only 10 hours up in the skies eh ? I thought MAS policy now is to maximize the aircraft utilization rate ? 10 hours seem a bit too generous.Maybe this is part of service recovery.

Xpress, Xyz, Xmen,
I don't like to have X painted on my plane because it looks as though that part marked with X is inoperative.

Xcident, Xxx,

As long as I get to play with LCD cockpit, I'm more than happy.

LAWYER! Pretend bodoh if they think they can get something out of it.Reminds me of 'he looks like me and sounds like me" case...

This must be her first time buying air ticket. If the advert says RM734 KUL-MEL, then obviously it's a 1 way ticket. BTW, she still pay the RM3096 despite that she couldn't agree with the price. That's weird.
-
RIP to the victims. Sadly they must have thought it was just going to be another normal landing.
Apparently this is not a unique accident for MD 11 as there are other similar accident involving the type. Bounced, touchdown, main wheel collapsed followed by flip upside down.
-
It's just a joke. I doubt it's meant to tarnish the profession. I mean, I've read somewhere that Southwest Airlines told the prospective pilots that they're interviewing to change from the normal uniform to shorts. No harm done...Wearing shorts and AK's video is 2 different thing. Pilots in Maldives flying the float otter wearing shorts.
Good luck with the interview to those selected!

Learned new thing about reverse thrust today.. Before this, I thought that it can only be applied after the front landing gear touch down.. Pilots,which one you all prefer, applied it before or after the front landing gear touch down ??In order to engage reverse thrust, the reverser sleeves must be opened(a.k.a unlock) first. This can only be done once the main gear has touchdown.
Once the reverser sleeves opened, we increase the thrusts on both engines. So we get reverse thrust. Reverser application is only effective at high speed thus the selection must be applied immediately. The nose gear will be flown down to the runway nicely. Normally it happens together. Again, my explanation is as simple as it is.
-
Just a question, can the engine go into "reverse trust" before the nose gear touches the runway?? Notice how the engine is already in "reverse trust", i notice even TR's 320 doing that....care to answer??? Thanks!You have answered your question already.
-
As long as the other six passport have more than 6 months then should be ok.
-
Wow, I think the livery is beautiful. I hate the current livery.
-
How much did they charge?
-
i have a strong feeling he meant 2000ft/min. probabaly the person who wrote this report wasn't listening to him properly?Why so serious? This is just another article similar to Airbus 737 or Boeing A340 media report. We should all just laugh and enjoy the article. After all the pilot did say "'speed' of 2000xx/min". For a reporter with no aviation interest to know there's such thing as vertical speed@descend rate is something WOW to me.
99% of the time to the media:
Boeing/Airbus=same thing
747/A330/a737/b340= same thing
emergency landing= crash landing
Normal landing which requires tow truck after that = emergency landing
go around=almost crash
turbulence=almost crash
So why bother.
-
Luckily mine wasn't an 'expert comment' More of a joking comment.
-
Almost as fast as concorde .
2000kts/min = 216,000km/hr
concorde pun kalah.
-
Should have picked up an MFTD from CAE ..How much does it cost? Here in MAS, airbus guys have to do about 18 sessions of simulator. From what I heard if we have MFTD the sim session can be reduced to approx 10 sessions.

FYI, my flight instructor from TUDM was a former mat rempit before he got into the Air Force.The biggest room in this universe is room for improvement! People do change....
Well, that depends on how we defined mat rempit.
To me:
Mat rempit specialize in murder, rape, rob, snatch, illegal racing and the worst motorist you can find on the road(ride against the flow and so on).
Mat moto is just some youngsters who likes to ride here and there. Sometime hangout in big groups but totally harmless.
1 thing in common for a mat rempit and a pilot is probably thier coordination. And for mat rempit and airforce pilot I can add that they both risk thier lives in wat they do.Its just that mat rempit risk for no reason and airforce pilot risk for country.
Just my opinion though.
Anyway if there's any mat rempit out there wanna join cadetship, you better start follow the rules. hehe...

I'm glad I joined MAS after seeing what kind of joke they make out of this profession.

A330 has mechanical backup.
