sad

Today , woke up 6 o'clock in the morning and headed toward our hanger at 6:45 after breakfast. Me and my buddy Felix arrived to the hanger at 7am sharp but the gate was still locked. We chit-chat at Felix's car and starts complaining . Few minutes later , Capt Htun arrive and share with us about his family trip to Sandakan last week.

8am. Finally Saiful arrived , he opened the gate . We had been waiting for him about 1 hour, and he is the only one who hold the keys. After that we moved our bags and stuffs to our crew room. SUDDENLY we heard the AVGAS are not arrived yet .. PISS US UP , lots of dissatisfied question came out our mind. Such as , THEY should told us the fuel are not arrive yet day before. Why they wanted to inform us our flying starts today..... ANGRY !!

But still, they had refuelled the aircraft after the previous flight which is 5 hours endurance left. After discussion between Capt Htun and Opperation Officer, they allow us to fly and planned me to fly 2 hours today. 1 hour P1US and 1 hour mutual flight with Felix .Before my flight it was Felix's flight. This time i'll be his passenger and he will be flying with Capt Htun. Similiar with what we did at my previous flight.

Pre-flight inspection completed, Felix request start-up clearance from ATC.
Felix:Sandakan approach, this is IFAS 05 good morning radio check how do you read ?
ATC: IFAS 05 read you with strength 4 go ahead .
Felix:IFAS 05 request start-up to ABAI 3000ft tree zero minutes .
ATC:IFas 05 Start-up approved surface wind calm QNH 1010 Runway08 .
Felix:Start-up arroved 1010 runway08 Ifas 05

We usually request start-up after pre-start checklist completed. Felix turn the Key from OFF-LEFT-RIGHT-BOTH-START ..... woops .. sounds like the battery low power. which is unable to ignite the spark plug .. FRUSTRATINGLY , Capt Htun said . OK LETS LEAVE THE COCKPIT and ASK JEZZ (maintainance crew) to charge the battery. You guys can go back home and have some rest, Don't forget to attend the class in the afternoon. HE SAID.

We're damn angry today, maybe Felix are even more angry than me. Today was the earliest day he woke up in his entire training session. Haha ..

Guys wanna know who is Felix ? Click the link on your right you'll find out !

Starts flying on Monday

Few days already i didn't write my blog but just simply post some videos. Today as usual, woke up early in the morning and went to class. Attended Human Performance & Limitation (HPL), Loading and balance. After Lunch break, we carry on Theory Of Flight and Performance A . School had declared our DCAT and UKCAA2 exam will be held on 24th and 25th of June.

Performance A is one of the difficult subject which i worried about. Hopefully i will able to cope it. One of the subject is bored Electric, i don't like this subject HA HA. After class dismissed, Flight Operation Officer told us we are able to start our flying again on next Monday and the AVGAS will be arrive on this Saturday. I was happy to heard that, so next Monday onward our program will be flying in the morning and attend ground classes in the afternoon .. TIRED EXHAUST FATIGUE STRESS. Now , i will pray for the nice weather during our flying phases hope everything go smoothly.

Head back hostel, changed all my cloths and lying on the bed.... i'm too tired. Don't know my spirit or my soul will be able to withstand the coming days or not?

Actually i was planning to go back Kota Kinabalu, i miss my family and my buddies. i miss my grandmom cooks. it's delicious, believe it or not ? tasting is believing ..... ask Felix and Gurjeet . haha.

Aviation English (avoiding miscommunication)

Pilots who flying international route today should have Pass the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Aviation English. Which is make sure these pilots who fly international route had reached certain English standard.

Aviation English for pilots focuses on key language concepts, aviation vocabulary and the oral skills necessary to improve airlines safety, both on the ground and in the air. These new standards require both aviation and general English language proficiency, with an emphasis on oral skills.

So, we are going to seat ICAO level 4 before flying the twin engine aircraft in our course (MOST PROBABLY). i will show u a video clip, why every pilots who flying international route have should reach certain English standart. Using correct and precise standart phraseology are able to avoiding incident and accidents due to misunderstanding caused by the use of non-standart phraseology. Different races have different accent or slang when they speak which is caused human being's mother tongue.

Monday again

Greeting guys,
It's Monday again, just like RECYCLING our life weekly. Sadly, no flying program in this week due to insufficient AVGAS 100LL (aviation fuel for piston engine) to proceed our training, so we need to be patient for few weeks. I have no idea why the fuel delayed or probably the price of the fuel are variable. I woke up 10 o'clock in the morning today, i suppose to sleep until 12 o'clock because no one inform us to attend morning classes. House next door is under renovation it was so noisy specially the sounds of DRILLING.

Then to the toilet, washed my face and had a 1st leak of the day :P . After that, log in my Messenger and Facebook those. Time passed slowly today because i got nothing to do in the morning . Still eventually it's time to lunch, my bacth mate and me attend the class after lunch as usual. Met Capt ZAW SHIN at the class today . He is one of the most experience pilot in the world i guess . he had logged 29,000 flying hours with 40 years flying experience. He will teach us Theory Of Flight , Loading and Balance , Performance A and Human Performance & Limitation. Sooner he will take place to be our Chief Simulator Instructor. We should learn a lot of skills and knowledge from him . SALUTE !!

Class dismissed around 4:45PM . our school's CEO knocked our door and came in our class. He did a short brief to us. It was a bit Stress and Excited when we heard the news which was the PLAN that they made. He told us that, we will finish our SINGLE ENGINE's training around end of July with DCAT and Ca2 paper that's really stress for me . Flying phase will be start on 7 morning and ground class will be starts from 4 o'clock until 6 o'clock . Beside that, he told us EXPECT there's class on Saturday . In the end , Academy planned to graduate us around 15th of November . But, still got lots of conflict in my mind, i dun think they can make it. Anyway, the news had motivate all of us. We are well prepared to againts the challenge !!

5 thirty nearly evening ,i changed my basketball's jersey and shoe, went to play basketball with my friends at "TAMAN" basketball court. As i said, we are chasing the time in order for us to graduate earlier so we need to be physically and mentally fit.

Let's take a look some of the video i want to share with u . One of my friend asked me, what will be happen if you are flying very closer to a jumbo jet infront of u ?
The result is .... try to imagine that with the video clip below !

Another Tired Day ...

Greetings guys .
As usual , woke up 7 thirty this morning. Prepared myself before going to airport .

9 o'clock . Met up my instructor Capt Htun . He did a short brief and told me to prepare myself for solo . Was a bit shocked as i said i only flew 2 hours on this type before. After the brief was done . me and some of my fellow friends went to Air Traffic Control Tower with Capt Htun to get permission of our new NAVIGATION route. Air Traffic Control Tower built at least 5 stores tall in order for those air traffic controller to get a better visual on ground traffic and traffic on the air as well. Air Traffic Controller is one of the most stressful job in the world. You can imagine that . hundreds or thousands of SOULS controlled by them.

11o'clock . it's time to get into the aircraft . The flight was a bit special today. Actually i supposed to fly with my instructor only. 2 of my fellow batch mate requested to join us on board. and our instructors allowed.

After obtained all clearance were given. we depart to our training area "same place same height " one of my batch mate JAMES he took some of the video on board. THANKS JAMES.



Did some instrument turning practice . After that .. We made 2 landing .. Touch and go .





"Touch and go" means after touch down on the ground .. we apply full power again to perform take off .

2 landing was done , we taxied to the dispersal area to vacate my friends and instructor. This time I will be flying alone (same training area same height and 1 touch and go which means 2 landing). Practicing Circuit and landing will improve our Take off - Landing skills .

About 2 o'clock .. i stationary the aircraft on ground and leave the hanger (aircraft indoor parking area). James picked me up for lunch .... JAMES JAMES . can u blue tooth me the video clip please ... haha ~!

Snakes escape on Qantas flight

An Australian airliner was grounded after four baby pythons escaped from their container in the aircraft's hold.

The snakes, just six inches long, were among 12 Stimson's pythons being flown from Alice Springs to Melbourne.

At first it was thought the reptiles may have been eaten by the other snakes, but this was discounted after they were weighed on landing.

Passengers were transferred to other aircraft. The jet was fumigated but the snakes' bodies are yet to be found.

"They're not endangered so a decision was made to fumigate...if these snakes turn up they will be very much dead snakes," David Epstein of Qantas said.

It is not known how the snakes - which can grow up to a metre in length - escaped from their container.

They were being transported in the cargo hold of the aircraft in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes.

The passenger aircraft returned to service on Wednesday.

Great Flight

Greetings ,
Got my first piper flight training today . Got a short brief from my Chief Flying Instructor Captain Htun . Before entering the cockpit, he signed the authorization sheet as usual .

Capt Htun had logged more than 10,000 flying hours and used to be Air Force Pilot instructor at Myanmar . He's one of the very experience pilot at his country. So , let's go through the pre-flight inspection he said . Comparison between piper and eagle , piper have more task to do with it checklist. After all clearance are given we took off runway 08 .

It's a nice aircraft, more stable . we requested 3000ft and below to practice general handling .
medium turn, steep turn, climb&descend, climbing turn&descending turn. Just to practice and get the sense of the aircraft. After these exercises, we headed back to the airfield for another 2 circuit and landing .

Unfortunately, traffic was a bit busy during that period . 2 outbound and 1 inbound. we expedite our final on runway 26 and took off again. (as i said, circuit and landing means "Touch and go") . ATC assigned us to make a right turn and make a holding at North of the airfield (downwind position) to release 2 departure aircraft. We had been hold for nearly 15 minutes, because 1 departure aircraft had delayed . Luckily ATC allowed us to join final (approach) after 1 traffic departure ..

During our approach , we having a light crosswind . Finally we landed and continue taxi to dispersal area for crew change . I'll show u some strong crosswind landing video which are made by those professional airliner pilots .

flying lesson starts again ^^

Greetings ... Tomorrow I'll be starts flying again, different aircraft that I've mention before in my first post. It's a PIPER WARRIOR PA28-161. This aircraft designed with a low wings (dihedral wing).The purpose of Dihedral Effect is to contribute to stability in the roll axis. It is an important factor in the stability of the spiral mode which is sometimes called "roll stability". It's a single piston engine which have a capability for 4 person on board, beside that it's certified for Instrument Flying .

I need to fly 103 hours on this aircraft before proceed to twin engine. sounds cool right? Today onward, i guess I'll be busy for my studies . morning flying , afternoon ground school , basketball evening and revision before bed . No matter how busy am i, I will still BLOGGING although my life is tired .
