amaya

is our new hostel apartment in subang..

look nice but damn hot inside.. sapa la pi cabut aircond, bongok!

ada swimming pool, playground, gym, tennis court, blaa..blaa..

everything look so perfect except for flying progress..

company kaya, but nak tambah aircraft, kedekut giler.. so, they slowing down the cadet's progress..

hello subang..

finally done 30 hours of simulator.. now focus on twin.. but way to go since 30 cadets are now queuing for twin D42.. WTF.

It's $450, and those cadets failed

including me.. i'm talking about aviation english test... @#!!??@!!!

6 sections and we have to get all level 6. if we get 5 sections with level 6, then 1 section 3, considered get level 3.. fail! @#!!??@??

and to reseat, it cost us $450.... @#!!??##!!

how much money school make profit of this test... @#!!??#@??

but what to say, even captain also failed this test.. (sedapkan hati ni..) tp serius.. diorang pun fail..

Seneca 34...Diamond 42

the sim conversion from seneca 34 to diamond 42 started.. fuhh.. totally different. hopefully be able to control this wild horse.. especially during 1 engine failed condition, so called asymmetric..

Burger stall?

is this a good idea?? Before that..

just now we had a table discussion between us about reporting to MAS after completing CPL license..the latest rumor says, we can only report to MAS early next year.. OMG!

Let say we complete everything in July, that means we have 6 - 7 months jobless! what to do while waiting for MAS to call up?? then the ideas start to come into our mind..

these are among the ideas..

1 - bisness burung walit.. RM4000 per KG (ahmad & fawwaz)

2 - work at petrol station.. RM500 per month (XX52)

3 - open burger stall.. RM200 per night (me & ahmad)

4 - apply for RA.. RM1200 per month (my idea also)

among these 4 brilliant ideas, i think no 3 is the most possible.. later we gonna discuss further about this idea.. ahmad look serious when we discuss about this..

i don't know..looks like after 2oo hours of flying, i still cant achieve what i really want to be.. the journey seems like very far away more to go.. what to do, i jumped into this. if i got to swim thousand miles more , then i will swim..

... waiting game continues ...

i miss u so much..

i miss real flying.. simulator is sumthing different. last took off was during CPL single engine test. after that just "playing" simulator thing.. all exercises, navigation, IF, GH.. i miss them all..

but it's ok.. my batch mates those base in KB still doing their exercises. i should be their safety co-pilot. so that i can dispel my feeling..

Twin engine?? lambat lg laa... school is now giving 110% priority to "ayerasia" cadets.. sometimes we feel that school not being so fair in managing their cadets.. ggrrrr... capt misai la ni..

Left Engine Failed !

Departure Aerodrome: WMKJ(johor)

Destination Aerodrome: WMKP(penang)

Airborne time:1535

incident: Engine Failed

POB: 3

Status: .....

something that we never expect..on cruising at altitude of 10,000 ft agl, 60 - 70 nm from WMKJ, our left engine failed.. oh god.. everything came into our mind.. checklist, troubleshoot cx, charts, bla..blaa..blaaa..

luckily we have prepared everything( prepared lah sgt..) before taking off for penang.. we've decided to request for priority to land at melaka aerod..

xx59: dead leg is left leg..dead engine is left engine..( very confident )

xx52: confirm?

xx59: affirm. i've done all CICWPDT cx..

xx52: i will call melaka now to request emergency landing.. u do the trouble shoot cx..( ceh wah...)

xx59: where's the chart for melaka beb?

suddenly xx52, turn back and..

xx52: "capt. syaiful.. we forget to bring the approach chart for melaka.." sambil tersengih, capt syaiful said " i have control (pause the sim), pegi amek chart.. korang ni.."

Btw, yesterday was the 2nd simulator airways exercise..

fening...fening...

think 1 step ahead

Today sim session, lesson 2 & 3, with capt Nay. Never flown with him previous time.. Most cadets afraid to fly with him, but Alhamdulillah everything went well for 3 of us, me , xx52, and "best piloting" sharel.. for tomorrow... dont know yet.

Need a lot of preparation before taking off with him since he assumed each one of us know everything even though we just finished lesson 1, itu pun last week.. but it's ok, nothing much also to do in crew resident.. sleep..sleep..sleep..mydin.. better study la after this.

As what he reminded us, " always think 1 step ahead, and you will be be fine.." hope it will be much better for tomorrow session.. will upload the pics later..

... waiting game continues ...

xx57: Money, sir..pilot is a high pay job...

xx60: it's cool profession, sir..

xx58: i want to reduce my weight becoz pilot is a tough career, sir..

xx52: sir, nobody yet from tanjung (name of a fruit) become a pilot. i want to be the first..

xx62: my uncle is a pilot also, sir..

xx54: it's my dream since my childhood to become a pilot, sir..i have complete set of flite sim at home sir.

xx59: i love traveling, sir..

xx67: actually i want to be a fighter pilot.. i bought a lot of fighter pilot magazine in my room..

KK

Now I and xx52, plus "best piloting" sharel ( potential only, not confirm pun ), staying in 3-storey crew resident in kelantan.. sound so great. but not really since it's not a big 3-storey bungalow.. it's just a 3 storey shop lot! again.. being manipulated by school( i should have a detail post bout this..hmm...)

The best part of staying here is everything is just few steps.. say Mydin mall, 10 steps... atm, 4 to 5 steps... maxis centre, maybe 8 to 9 steps.. or maybe if Mydin got delivery se

rvice, i can just shout to order sumthing... hehe..

btw, for the past 4 - 5 days we quite busy with sim registration and briefing.. even no time to post on blog.. now i got sumtime to write, so just want to update our new position after moving out from terengganu... welcome to kubang kerian, so called KK.

p/s: TQ mydin for providing us with free wifi...... even though not for 24hours.

sapa2 setuju, sila angkat tangan mcm saya !

" this is wrong.. make sure u correct it and show it to me. kalau tak, ko fail !! " maybe this made xx52 called me few times to ask about temperature deviation ( ISA ).. actually he just text me n wants me to call him back.. mentang2 aku guna bil..

btw, i gave him some 'ideas' ( coz i also got it wrong but luckily 04T didnt realize..hehe ). later he told me the ' ideas ' was wrong also..kuikuikui

xx52 told me he made slight mistakes during the test n he get scold .. i can imagine that. With 04T, u made a slight mistake, u will get “ syarahan” for 10 minutes.. “you, @@!!?????.blah..blah...???!!!@@!!!” but suddenly he will turn to somebody nice.. that’s why people call him atok.. including xx52, who juz believe that.. “ ha’ah la.. mcm fly ngan atok2..”

The other person who did the test with xx52 was sharel.. this one cuak lebih..tak tido satu malam tu .. but he is one of candidate for the Best Piloting in our batch..uwekkk... but really.. he got high average kot for the test.. xx52 told me.. ye la.. super overage kot.. hehe.

What ever it is.. thank to Allah coz everyone passed single engine.. and the fact that fly with 04T is just like flying with atok2 is real..

sapa2 setuju, sila angkat tangan mcm saya !

fly with grandpa ..

" ok .. ko passed test hari ni.. cuma aku tak sure lagi nk bagi ko ** or **.. tgk lah."

yahoo.. finally i finished single engine. TQ 04Tango.. 4 days leave before return to base n moving back to Kb. i dont know.. but it was a good flying test with 04T.

Nothing bad to write coz he was a bit different yesterday..hehe.. maybe the story said fly with him juz like flying with grandfather was correct..(jgn marahh xx52).

xx52 said to me last time," nnt kalau ko kena marah masa test, ko tulis dalam blog ko.. bahagian maki2 la...release tensen.."

but maybe not this test la bro..

kuikuikui..

... waiting game continues...

let see whether u can laugh or cry..or both!

Whoever did this vid.. nice one! 2 thumbs up.

East or West?

Neither..

Weather like this i cant even fly south or north. it looks nice one side, but the other side, omg ... or as what instructors always say " you can take off, but not sure of landing". So better stay on ground and study( or maybe sleep ).

East

Maybe this year's monsoon started a bit late. So it will end a bit later.. No prediction. No guessing. Just wait n see.

West

Princess Juliana to el Palermo.

Raining non stop since last nite.. it is a bad day for flyers, even worst for those doing test in this kind of weather.. me n xx52 decided to fly on ground. hihi. xx52 taught me to fly flight sim. i dont even know a single thing bout sim. we choose to fly 747 from juliana (where the hell is this place??) to el palermo( tak pernah dengar pun tempat ni). but we managed to land safely(not cleared by atc)..

next, i m flying alone from el palermo to 'to be defined' coz xx52 got to play waiting game in hangar.. ok xx52, may u got chance to fly on air this afternoon..
