Was travelling from SZB to customer today n saw B744 "Kota Bahru" (if my eyesight read it properly) parked outside MH engineering hangar. Dunno if it was this plane

Cikgu, like u did on FY's inagural flight at KCH last January right?
Another 9M-FFF photo captured. Nice rego and "fresh from ladang Boeing"

Hi Pieter,
From the attached link to their website (still under construction) they will use B737 and some small turboprops
classic b737

Heard about IDG rather than CSD thingy. But non-EFIS B734? Where would the crew be trained? In fact, is there such a thing as a non-EFIS B734?
yup there are non-EFIS B734. but FZA has been mod to fit CSD and gen to standardize with MH fleet.
-
Yes, Dr Chuo. Both B734 based on JB come from same source. ex Air One and Lufthansa. B737-430.
non-EFIS and engine fitted with IDG

So KCH has developed some expertise in crippled aircraft restoration it seem
What is the latest count then ?
Crippled F50 from SBW
Crippled MH 734 from KCH's gate
Crippled AK 320 from KCH's runway
you can say that, 3 different manufacturer. normally rescue team frm base will work together with AOG team frm manufacturer. guess that AK 320 still on zero stress support till today.
-
the aircraft has never been scrapped. it was repaired in kch. till today the fuselage support trestles are still kept at kuching airport.

I hope it is not another "Oh I forgot the pin again"..........
maybe either the truck beam tilt actuator had problem or the body gear steering not centered after lift off...
-
You're welcome. For the windows, I am not sure. All body barrel are standard. However, one of the main difference is that airlines choose their own seat configuration. Therefore, they may plugged some windows for galley or toilet or other purpose. The area above the engines is actually emergency exit, the legroom are more (therefore less window) but seats are non-recline to aid movement should there be any emergency.
i think the place where he mentioned is the place where the aircond riser ducts are located, in any 737 series it is common between BS500 to BS540 (just in front of center wing tank forward bulkhead)
-
Cheers, thanks for that Hon Kit. Any idea of delivery date?
I tried looking for some interior shots of SJI, seems hard to come by. I shall keep trying.
SJI = FFD
MLC = FFC
COK = FZB

While at work, I saw a 737-400 sitting inside MH hangar in FY colours. Can't say if it is 9M-FZA or they have a new bird already.
affirmative FZA

Plenty of keyboard professors these days
Great job from the guys in the front !
These things happen , and it could have been much worse , than just two blown tires !
But what interests me is , how did they know they had blown two tyres , or blown any tires for that matter !
Hit something on the take off roll probably ? Reminds me of the Concorde incident
And I must say , it is extremely disappointing that they had to sit in the aircraft for so long before they were allowed to disembark , this is considering that they already knew that this aircraft had a problem just after take off.
I noticed the person who posted the video saying that it was hot in the aircraft because there was no a/c , I think for the most part , it was not the A/C , but things were just so ' tense ' in there , because from the outside you can hear the APU is running
there are few primary and secondary damages to the aircraft. it's not just burst wheels.

soon, MLC will be the 3rd FY 738, FFC
-
Does anybody know the rego of the aircraft? Was it a 734?
MQA, both rh mlg wheels burst.

9M-MXD now has delivery date loaded for 15 March.
MXD already in KUL for PSM and DCA inspection
-
Capt, I don't think they can select anything above the 23.5 as it has already been pin programmed to provide a max of 23.5. I will check and revert to you when I have more information.
if you say it is pin programmed then it is just as the same as the 737 classic where there's no such thing as EEC and HMU like 737 NG, only MEC and PMC and a direct thrust control cable from the throttle lever to the MEC.
-
MAS already land a 747 at Terengganu airport and its runway is 2,800m and 9,186 ft.And langkawi airport runway is 3,810m and 12,500ft.Maybe the 747 can land at there and the A380.
r u sure the figure is correct??

A Delta Air Lines Boeing 737-800 was forced to make an emergency landing today after it experienced a contained engine failure shortly after take-off and shedded engine parts onto the ground.
The aircraft, powered by CFM56-7B-26 engines, returned to Fort Lauderdale at 08:00hr shortly after departure for a flight to Minneapolis after an engine shut down, says a US FAA spokeswoman.
It landed without incident, and the aircraft's passengers deplaned by stairs at the airport's taxiway, she adds.
"The FAA's preliminary inspection of the engine revealed that it was a contained failure. Engine turbine blades exited the rear of the engine, they did not penetrate the engine cover," says the spokeswoman.
Delta was not contactable for comment. The airline operates a fleet of 73 737-800s, according to Flightglobal's ACAS database. All of them are powered by CFM56 engines.
hmm... seems the rotor blade separated but does not pierce thru the turbine case and exited thru secondary path. lucky them...
-
Its anyone's guess, isn't it?
Since the MX series is currently used by the B738s, the next logical sequence is MY. That might mean that the A380 may be carrying the MZ reggos next year. Another possibility is for the A333s to carry the MJ series.
Take your pick!
it's MT series...
-
guess there's no more 'geneva cam' on its flap drive mechanism...
-
nicely 'chopped' just aft of BS727D frame. even part of the main ldg gear support beam still attached to the swing link.
-
So it was amazing that Brunei's A342 operated some mths back from the existing KBR runway.
an mh tow tug did a very long pushback to position the aircraft for its take off....
-
the old 732s and 727s are very very noisy as they uses the JT9 engines - probably almost 3 times the noise footprint of a A320 or 738
pardon me it's jt8. jt9 fitted to jurassic 747s...
-
Significant difference. The MH aircraft was almost static, so not difficult to fix. The A320 snapped aat speed.
and that incident caused MH aircraft suffered major structural damage that lower wing skin and main landing gear support beam were replaced and some damage to adjacent fuselage frames. i believe that AK 320 will have to change both its engine, its cowls and reversers, pylon has to be dropped for inspection, nose gear assy change, main gear assy removed for fuse bolt and wing spar inspection, fuselage belly skin change and some structural damage on section 11/12 frames and nose gear wheel well bulkhead. guess, the airbus team is already in KCH or maybe TF can get it fix by any ah chong pomen for a very low cost?? haha...
