HMA, The CRASH all rounder...

Sigh .... There goes another aircraft, 3 more to go. How le... Today at around 4 something, my junior crashed on the runway. The entire aircraft was 45 deg with the nose facing ground, the nose wheel broke and the propellar is half buried on the runway. Fortunately the pilot survive the crash. This is what it look like after the aircraft being lifted .
This is what happen before anything is done.
Here's the humour part. My gang and i quickly rush to the runway and look. haha... We were like "woah" "fuiyo" "sigh" etc . We felt rather sorry for the pilot (victim) as he was doing his solo. He's definitely needa pay for the damage. Its was a very sad scene.
But... check out the fire truck wei, i think it was the first time in like many years it get to perform in an actual situation. haha ... I'm sure the fire suit was kinda dusty when the firemen wore it. Hopefully they are not cheering when the alarm was on as it was really long before they get to be in action. haha ...

maiden flight ...

After years of waiting and suffering in studies plus enduring the pressure and stress of examinations.... finally i get to fly. My first flight with me on the pilot's place. The first flight where every cadet will have to go through is a flight where we call FAMIL flight which stands for familiarisation flight. Its quite boring as the instructor only show us the training area and stuff. So it was my turn. After performing the checks and suited up, i'm prepared for the flight. This is the flight path. The red line was my friend flying then when he landed, it was my turn. I flew the blue path. Of course with a intsructor beside me. Basically he does all the flying and i just sit there and learn.

Langkawi airport terminal building. Prior to departure.



Just after taking off. Climbing.


That's langkawi airport from the bird's eye view.





Landed dy, taxying to the parking bay.




That's me, too free dy .... haha

Life so far is really bored. I can seriously feel each and every minute passing by. Most of the time i'll be like : hey, another 5 minutes just passed. Though it was real fun flying and lookng forward to it each day but i still miss everybody back in KL. I miss YOU dearly.

Sauna with wings .... :P

Phew...after spending a long one year in ground school, finally i'm in the flying wing. The main difference is there are not much studies and more on the practical side. The planes that are available in my school isn't really cool, erm.... they are also not really very shitty either. Its more or less the middle class category. My school has got 3 types of aircrafts, they are all shown in the picture below. The DA-40 and TB-10 are both single engine while the DA-42 are twin engine. The plane that i'm currently flying is TB-10.

I understand that the first picture is rather small, so .... this is TB-10. Its kinda small but its real heavy compare to DA-40 as its made of composite material.


That's me ... eddie just in case anybody forgotten about me. haha ... I'm wearing a stupid and funny looking life vest just in case i ditch in the water. Its compulsary for all cadet pilot to wear it in flight.


This is how is it look in the inside. On the left is the pilot's seat and on the right is the co-pilot's seat.





The co-pilot seat. Its possible to fly the plane from both side just for you guy's information.
So, why sauna....?? haha ... Its freaking hot in the plane. It begin to feel a bit cold when you're in about 2000 ft and above.... when you're on the runway or the parking bay, trust me, you'll be sweating as if as you never swaet before in your entire life... haha

new toilet bowl....

Sometimes when i come to think about my school, HM aerospace is quite sucky also. They can afford buy a big fleet of planes but they can't afford to repair headset when its already not in working condition. How ironic... So the consequences is, the cadets have to get their own lo. Its not cheap at all you know, stupid school . I got mine too recently. Its a rather cheap brand call Flightcom from US. This is how my headset looks like. Kinda simple and bulky ...

It comes with a small bag just nice to put it ....



Why is it expensive ler...?? here's why... Its has gel inside that will cancel all the noise which means you can only hear what the tower or other aircraft that is talking to you....


haha .... this belong to my batchmate which happen to be a girl. Its pink in colours because she likes it and of course its a little expensive. She rich ma, so what... haha

I'm like stranded in this pathetic island which is situated somewhere to the north west of the potato looking part of malaysia called Langkawi. Therefore i decided to burn my time writing blog lo. I couldn't think of other things to do dy ... haha... Hopefully you people out there will visit it when you have free time k ....
