11th Of May.

Monday again. Finally, Another NEW OLD (SECOND HAND but still seems like NEW AIRCRAFT for us) Piper Warrior PA28-161 (9M-APR) had arrived Sandakan last Saturday. Which is "FERRY" by Capt Thien and Capt Saw from SUBANG to SANDAKAN . They crossed over SOUTH CHINA SEA. Try to Imagine that 4 hours above the sea. have no ground fixture or landmark somemore flying with a single engine aircraft. Any machanical malfunction occur, the only way to solve it Dictching if the aircraft failed to restart.

Our Flying schedule are going smoothly now, just a little bit behind the schedule. Hopefully we will able to catch-up. At the moment, BATCH 3 students starts their flying phase now. It reminds me our initial flying phase Happy&Sad memories. I still remember my first solo flight was back on 21st of January 2009. It was my first step to become a pilot. Ok Ok .. Enough with those old memory back to the point. Today, i woke up at 7:30am and attend a briefing after breakfast with Felix. Our academy's CEO Capt Syed informed us there will be a CRASH EXERCISE on Wednesday after that it will have small opening ceremony for our new hanger. REPORTERS and "DATUK DATUK" will come for the ceremony so Capt Syed want all of us to dress up ourself tidy and trim our hair.

Whas is crash exercise ? At the beginning of the briefing i was "BLUR" what is crash exercise ?
Crash exercise: perform a normal landing and stop the aircraft at the end of the runway. PIC then declare an emergency EXP: engine on fire. At that time, students and instructors had BEEN TOLD to trapped inside the aircraft. If there's any aircraft made a distress call. Fire Fighter and Ambulance have to do their rescue works. So, as normal procedures, FIRE TRUCKS and AMBULANCE will starts their rescue works. These to make sure everybody here know how to react during the critical situation.

After the briefing , i went to hanger with felix car then drank a glass of NESCAFE ICE in the terminal coffee shop. Before 3 o'clock i prepared myself . 3:30 i got airborn alone and do some maneuvers at the training area. 4:30 park the aircraft and shut down the engine. This is how i spend my time. BORING LeH~~ . Nevermind i Post some COOL picture on my next post .
