Here, I was <s>cam-whoring</s> taking pictures when <span style="font-size:180%;">suddenly, there was a slight bump. </span>I felt like I had hit something. I checked the props, everything seems normal. But I really felt like I hit something, <span style="font-size:180%;">I think I had hit a bird</span>. Since there's nothing else I can think of at that time. I decided to get over it and continued. (Sorry little thing I hit on the air, I didn't see you coming at all)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35550159@N03/3612884301/" title="Crazy Nav (5) by laszloism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3590/3612884301_32ecca821f_b.jpg" alt="Crazy Nav (5)" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br />This is overhead Batu Pahat.

Coming back to Senai it seems like the A380 is still doing it's circuit training. I was thinking<br /><br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">Wah, bestnye land belakang A380!!</span>"<br /><br />Requested to land and I was cleared for for number 2 behind number 1 (the A380). ATC also informed<br /><br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">Caution, turbulence</span>"<br /><br />I did an orbit just to reduce the chances of me getting hit by the turbulence before turning base. After the A380 had done it's touch & go I turned base and thereafter final.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35550159@N03/3613813972/" title="Crazy Nav (7) by laszloism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3647/3613813972_c090328af7_b.jpg" alt="Crazy Nav (7)" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So here I am on final. Everything went normally, I also thought that I did a smooth landing although I flared a bit higher than I should've. But then, the<span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="font-size:180%;">turbulence kicked in</span>, and I scrambled to maintain the aircraft in it's manner. I managed to control it, thank God. When I taxied back to cargo apron to park I realized that the canopy lock is locked from the outside. FFFFUUUU. Just my luck, the Petronas refueling truck was there and the bro helped me unlock it. My friend once was in a similar situation as I was. But he got locked for almost an hour. He breathed from the small cigarette hole for God's sake!

I went out as well, but I won't tell you about that :P<br /><br />I spent time with my nephew, "A" is what I'll call him in my blog. Very quiet little baby, but my sis said that I was so much quieter as a baby, hehe.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35550159@N03/3502870901/" title="Baby A by laszloism, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3502870901_10607f8150_b.jpg" alt="Baby A" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I also ate some delicious chocolates that I haven't got to taste for some very long months.

Yea I've been there done that. I wanted to become a policeman (yea, the typical ambition for 7 year old kids those days). Why? Because of the awesome 9mm guns that were used to shoot bad guys. I was also influenced by the then popular TV show Gerak Khas on RTM2 at 9pm (yes, I still remember). As I grew older I realized that the show was full of rubbish same as RTM.<br /><br />Then, at the end of my primary school days, I became interested in <span style="font-style: italic;">keusahawanan</span>. Entrepreneurship as people call it. I was dreaming of big bucks easily as in filthy rich with big houses, supercars, <s>4 wives</s> and endless enjoyment. It was such a nice thought though even for anyone.<br /><br />Then in Form 3 I took up few engineering subjects as advised by my parents in which I don't have a single interest in. I pictured myself as an engineer which was in itself was ok for me. So I ended my school days as an engineering student.<br /><br />So, how the hell am I here? Doing my CPL/IR with Frozen ATPL? How??? Well, first things first is that I don't go gaga everytime I see an aeroplane. I don't stare at them for a long time like some other aviation fanatics/wannabe pilots. I never had a lifelong passion on piloting at all. Heck, even the first time I flew (with MAS) I kept my cool. Once on a 13 hour flight I slept most of the time and didn't even tried to enjoy the view.<br /><br />Here it goes, once I finished my SPM I searched for what kind of career that I should dive into. First choice was engineering as I have the experience in them and secondly was venturing into business. I find both of them lacking the excitement factor (at least for me). So I searched for other options. My parents were chatting about pilots and it quickly made me interested. The pay was a lot too for a Malaysian. My parents were very supportive in my decision and I enrolled into a flying school and here is where I am now. I'm loving it!<br /><br />Before ending this post I'll share a quote from pprune : -<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"There are only a handful of those who genuinely wants to be pilot. Others join the flying school because they are too rich and don't know what else to do in life."<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /></span> Quite true :plaszlohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963858012477624274noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603352877281069760.post-16062508807713138532009-04-09T02:09:00.009+08:002009-04-18T01:10:54.139+08:00Dynolicious on Eagle 150 BToday I didn't feel like flying since the weather was reported as thunderstorm and rain at the time I supposed to be flying. I waited for 30 minutes and I was happy to see the dark clouds been blown to the west of airfield. I only did circuits and landing today as it's the safest thing to do at my current level of experience and the aircraft that I'm flying.

The most hated question by meSo, here it goes. Since I enrolled into KLIFA last year, I've been facing this problem. Which is, people asking me about what I'm studying now. It goes like this :<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Sekarang dik belajar ape?"</span><br />or<br />"What are you studying now?"<br /><br />During my early days as a cadet pilot I usually tell them the truth (because I was <span style="font-style: italic;">bangga</span> during those days) in which (in a complete sudden) creates a spark of interest from their boring day job. From there they will ask more annoying questions such as :<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Berape lame kursus ni?"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Berape agaknye harge kursus ni?"<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">"Dah pernah bawak kapal terbang?"<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">"Bawak kapal terbang Boeing/Airbus ke?" (WTF? Eagle sudah...)<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />"Dah boleh bawak sorang ke?"<br /><br />"Lepas habis nak kerja dengan syarikat mane?" (Too futuristic)<br /><br /></span><br />Especially during lunch break when we all go for lunch wearing the uniform (we don't change it of course). I seriously would just say (if it was the internet world) GTFO and Google it. The funny thing is that it always happen while we're eating. The time when we leisure ourselves with dirty talks and gossips. Yes, I end up answering them in the most polite manner and giving them all the answers.<br /><br />Even if I took out my epaulettes, I won't look like a taxi driver since I don't have the over-sized belly plus I look too young even if I grew some facial hair. When I'm wearing the epaulettes, I won't look like a security guard as I have the babyface.<br /><br />So, I've been figuring out this few months of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">perfect lie</span>. I haven't found it yet :/ . But, so far if I'm not wearing any uniform, I can lie that I'm a fresh school leaver (<span style="font-style: italic;">baru habis SPM</span>).

A total of 35 flights, mostly international and including those heading to New York, have been canceled and 18 arriving flights have been rerouted to other airports, the transport ministry said.<br /><br />The aircraft, Flight 80 from Guangzhou, China, had flammable liquid aboard, according to the transport ministry. It took firefighters about two hours to extinguish the blaze, which completely destroyed the aircraft.<br /><br />Two men were rescued from the cockpit at around 8 a.m. but were confirmed dead at a nearby hospital, the Chiba prefectural police said.<br /><br />The police said they confirmed with FedEx that the crew members of the flight were Kevin Kyle Mosley, 54, the pilot, and Anthony Stephen Pino, 49, the co-pilot—both U.S. citizens.<br /><br />Video footage showed the plane touching down on its rear wheels and its nose slamming into the runway.<br /><br />The plane bounced and its left wing hit the ground, bursting into flames. It then flopped over and veered off the runway with flames coming from the center of the fuselage.<br /><br />Source : <a href="http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/cargo-plane-crash-lands-at-narita-airport-bursts-into-flames">Japan Today</a><br /><br />*******************************************************************************************<br /><br />Scary incident, very bad landing.
