Azuddin 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 well, from what i see today, it's like one landing every 15 to 20 minutes. one daparture like every 30 to 40 minutes. used to seems busy during weekday, looks a bit quiet today. i don't really know about the schedule because it's my first time at this airport. About the airport, i've seen that it mostly made of woods, no wonder it rattles when Herc130 land. I think a 777 with only one engine running can tore apart the entire building pictures was taken around 4.00PM today. Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khushwant 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2006 i heard as a private student to get into MFA , wil have to wait to 2007...apparently , they are fully booked with these MAS n AA cadets...n they even fly on sundays...how mad is that aye? when i was there in MFA, we could fly many hours a day...but now , it has changed to the other..imagine... so , i would suggest, for those who are really interested in flying, to join a flying club first, if u cant get into MFA straight... or for those who read the news papers recently , just check this website www.esbfc.com...apparently they are training u to get an australian CPL ? but is it valid in malaysia? the next question... just sharing info guys...cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Attan 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2006 Just wondering, anyone here know what this is. looks like a training module for fire rescue. Let me know if you have any information. It's a fuselage mockup for fire & rescue training & practice. You'll find at least one at every airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azuddin 1 Report post Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) It's a fuselage mockup for fire & rescue training & practice. You'll find at least one at every airport. i've saw one used by MHS at Kerteh airport. didn't saw any at KUL. i saw they use a full DC-8 at Zurich. i've been on the underwater helicopter escape mockup in terengganu. it's quiet scary to be on it and they plunge it into a 30ft deep water. Here's what i saw at HKG CLK, training mockup for 747 and MD-11 Azuddin Edited February 12, 2006 by Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
