  1. lolz... you din see someone at the end of the runway with the weapon armed? :p btw, new pattern ka? no longer BKI-LBU-BKI-KCH or KCH-SIN-KCH-BKI?

     

    With the new runway extension, I don't really know where to look for you guys...huhu. Anyway, 17Oct, anyone spotting? If can I want to join but maximum until 1pm only, sux right? This pattern however is better than the old 1. The old pattern is KCH-SIN-KCH-BKI followed by 3 hours transit at BKI then to KCH again!


  2. ok..but how bout if he goes to flight training by own (private) and succecful graduate it in the training..is't still required/important bout the result..SPM even already got ATPL or valid license?

     

    You are right. I'm a self sponsored student. Upon joining MAS, they still want to see my SPM result despite the ATPL and the result should be like the cadet entry requirement. Anyway, airlines can change their requirement overnight when there's really a shortage or if they just start up and desperate. :pardon:


  3. Besides the blog, I happened to watch him telling the same story live on Malaysia Hari Ini. I blame the interviewer with ' kesian@pity' attitude who picked up those 'talents'. Sometimes it takes more then training. You send them for 100 training courses also won't make any difference because they don't have passion in their work.


  4. I like to see how the actual navigation chart look like..I never see any of navigation chart before..

    The 1 in the picture is airport chart. It looks like a small booklet. I'm not sure what kind of map the twin otter guys use for rural navigation but normal airliner use airways chart, this 1 is different from airport chart. It's big and fold according to the flight progress.

     

    last time Dante give me is copied right? still remember ka?

     

    Yes, that was a copy.

     


  5. During my training years, we have a few batches joined at the same time. So if all of the batches doing the same thing at the same time, then there will be underutilized of facilities meaning if everyone doing ground school, then the aircraft will be left at the tarmac. So to avoid this, each batch has got different training roster/plan. Some will be doing alternate training day, e.g ground school today,flying tomorrow. Some will be doing just ground school until they've cleared all the papers, and some will do PPL then continue with the papers.

     

    I joined the flying school with a PPL, so while my batchmates doing their PPL training, I already doing the CPL training flight.

     

    So doesn't really matter which 1 you do first as long as you complete everything. However its easier to cope with the ground subjects when you have initial flying experience. :drinks:


  6. Khaled, let's have a mock dogfight between your Spitfire and my Mustang.

     

    Hehe, yes, that would be fun!

     

    4 me would be an a320 coz its fuel saving and high tech system

     

     

    With some people opt for DC10, 747 classic, 727

    I think fuel saving is not an issue when you're very rich!hehe...

     

    Anyway, this is hobby for the rich.

     

    I think if I can afford an aircraft, it'll probably be leased to flying club so that they take care of the parking and maintenance fee.

    The experimental aircraft I was flying only cost something like 200K. Even old Cessna also I believe we can get around that price.

    Don't expect tip top cockpit though. You'll probably equipped with standby compass as you compass, no AI or HSI.


  7. al-fatihah :sorry: and condolence to their family...........

     

    what bothers me, one is 20 and one is 21 ..where's their insturctor :blink:

     

    Minimum age to hold a PPL is 17 years old. I got my PPL at the age of 18 and flew with flying club for almost a year before joining flying academy for CPL course. In fact a friend of mine already a jumbo co pilot at the age of 21. So age is not a matter here.

     

    The risks is always there and when one sign up for the flying course, he/she is aware of the danger.

     

    However, the rising no of accidents from HMA is very alarming for a new flying school.
