When talking about the aerodromes/airports in Malaysia, ever you think of how many airports/aerodromes we have in Malaysia? Never count on it?! Answer in you brain is still.. : erm...ar.. I know we have KLIA, Subang there, Sabah & Sarawak sure got "lo(then)" else how to fly to borneo island?, My own state got..... What else the answer can you give?
Well, I do count it! It does pick up my curiousity of... A small potato size (West Malaysia) can have how many aerodromes/airports? How about the lion size (East Malaysia) ? I started to wonder when I ought to head my head down to a Geography book by memorising the states which produce "kelapa sawit"(palm oil estate). I started to complain in my heart... why don't you have something nicer for me to memorise like the airports available in Malaysia but "Kelapa Sawit"(Palm oil estate)?? =.=" >.<" @@"" For the year of 2010, In Malaysia we have..... (Information from AIP). *Base on ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organisation) code.
18 aerodromes/airports for my 'potato' states (West Malaysia) while 10 aerodromes/airports for my 'lion'(East Malaysia) states. 28 in total. Are you having the same as me? (I know I'm just too freeeee though. :P)
Well, West Malaysia starts with WM.. while East Malaysia starts with WB.. That's the Simplest way to differentiate it. Learn up your aerodromes. They're more stuffs you're required to know in DETAIL when you start flying.
Current airports/aerodromes I keep using from the most... WMKM, WMKJ, WMSA and WMKK. Have learned up your nearest airport in ICAO by checking the google now? It saves the task simple by just typing/writing with ICAO code instead of a long airport name. =)
I just feel like I wanna shout... MFA, YOU'RE IMPROVING IN UR MANAGEMENT, finally!
Thumbs up for it!
Well, before this, MFA seriously gave me damn damn damn lotsa of troubles. In order to search for a PEACE, I've to "swallow" down lotsaunsatisfaction and solve the stuffs quietly. Unfair, but ought to.
Nevertheless, I'm glad. I'm really glad that they come out a brand , real good idea. I don't know whose idea is that and belong to which copyright for that idea, well, that's not my business. I'm just glad to see it being apply to this MFA.
In 2010, MFA is taking a new batch every 8 weeks SHARP! Because of this, a academy which already has backlog, slowly become more and more crowded. BACKLOG + CROWDED = EXTRA DELAY! A company which only works 5 days per week stands no way to handle ended up those batches which having backlog, will fly on Saturday. Good idea for...solving; poor idea for...junior batch which facing backlog more like no flying on Mon-Fri but only flying on Saturday.
Latest update... flying instructors will be working 5 days per week. Flight operation will open 7 days per week. So who is going to duty/work for that 2 days? Answer is...Each instructor will be having a different OFF days. Some are having Mon-tues, Some Tues-Wed, some Wed-Thurs,..... Problem for jaga-ing(taking) the flight ops without paying extra in their pocket salary...SOLVED!
Students who under their own instructor will follow the same off days as well. So... Problem for the backlog will reduce when in each day, only specific and limited students will be flying. No more "hijacking"/"grabbing"/... the aircraft. aircraft to student ratio ... OK~! Problem 2 ... SOLVED!
A company which can operate 7 days continuously... Yea..facing extra electric and water bills. Well, if new batch keep coming in, seniors keep going out, hostels be check in and out, profit is more than enough to cover the bills! It's much better than stucking seniors in and on hold new the new batch. Problem 3 in gaining profit... SOLVED!
and still got many more...
Anyway, I sincerely thumbs up for this solution. Though it's a bit hard to adapt especially those use to have Saturday and Sunday as the weekend. Well, this is pilot life and this is just a small OFF DAY changes be made.
Cons... please make sure ya having an idea to settle the cafeteria side in a system way. Guess "he" doesn't wish to have a chaotic scenario happen other than flying part.
Thumbs up for the management way from a company and students ' side! Well done, MFA!
NTSB for today:
NTSB Identification: MIA06FA039. The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division Accident occurred Sunday, January 01, 2006 in Grand Ridge, FL Probable Cause Approval Date: 12/20/2007 Aircraft: Robinson R44, registration: N442DH Injuries: 3 Fatal.
The commercial pilot was ferrying a helicopter with two passengers/friends under Title 14, CFR Part 91 when the helicopter collided with trees and terrain in a wooded area at night, in instrument meteorological conditions. Witnesses related that the helicopter had landed near a hotel and truck stop, and the pilot and passengers had inquired about renting rooms. The pilot and passengers elected not to rent rooms, but walked to the truck stop and had a meal. After the meal, the helicopter was seen departing to the south. The helicopter did not arrive at its destination, and a search was initiated. A witness in a car on a nearby freeway, about 6 miles from the truck stop, reported to the local sheriff's office three days after the accident, that he had seen an explosion south of the freeway the night of the accident. Searchers located the helicopter in thick woods, in trees about 60 feet tall. The wreckage was extensively fragmented, consistent with a high speed impact with the trees. An on-site examination of the helicopter disclosed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical anomalies. Weather in the vicinity at the time of the accident was reported as 300 feet overcast, visibility 1.75 miles in mist, with thunderstorms nearby. The pilot did not have an instrument rating, and the helicopter was not equipped with instrumentation for flight into instrument meteorological conditions. Toxicological samples from the pilot disclosed extremely high levels of methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a rarely prescribed drug, and its use is not approved for pilots. Methamphetamine is highly addictive, and is most widely used as an illegal recreational drug. The amount of methamphetamine in the pilot's system was approximately 50 times higher than expected from a single dose of a prescription drug. Use of methamphetamine can result in marked personality changes, psychosis, irrational and impulsive behavior, irritability, hyperactivity, and other symptoms.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's continued flight into known adverse weather, and his impairment, which resulted in an in-flight collision with trees and terrain during cruise flight.

TANJUNG KARANG: A 21-year-old trainee pilot in a two-seater Eagle light aircraft survived after crashing into a padi field here today when he tried to make an emergency landing.
The pilot, Tengku Zamir Farhan Tengku Zahidi, sustained injuries to his jaw as well as a broken arm.
He was on a training flight from Ipoh to Kapar and was on his way back when the plane crashed at about 4.30pm.
He is believed to have tried to land the plane at the Block R, Tanjung Karang padi field as he had glided onto the field before the plane overturned.
Tengku Zamir is believed to be a student at the Syarikat Intergrated Training Centre Ipoh as the aircraft belonged to the company.
Kuala Selangor district police chief Superintendent Mohd Taib Ahmad said the authorities were alerted to the crash at about 4.50pm.
He said the Department of Civil Aviation was also informed of the crash.
TANJUNG KARANG: A 21-year-old trainee pilot in a two-seater Eagle light aircraft survived after the plane crashed into a padi field near here yesterday when he tried to make an emergency landing.
Tengku Zamir Farhan Tengku Zahidi, who was on a training flight from Ipoh to Kapar, fractured an arm and injured his jaw in the incident which occurred at 4.50pm.
He was believed to have tried to land the plane at Block R, near the Tanjung Karang padi field, but encountered difficulty and the plane overturned and crashed into the padi field.
It was learnt that Tengku Zamir is a student of Syarikat Intergrated Training Centre based in Ipoh.
Kuala Selangor district police chief Superintendent Mohd Taib Ahmad said Zamir was lucky to have escaped with light injuries.
"He has been admitted to the Tanjung Karang Hospital. We have informed his family."
When met at the hospital, Zamir said he tried to make an emergency landing because he suddenly felt his face turning numb during the flight and he managed to inform the control tower.
"I had to land immediately. Maybe because I was tired and dehydrated because I had been flying for several hours."
Villager Alwiyah Salim, 49, said she was about to perform her asar prayers when she heard a loud noise.
"I looked up and saw a plane that was coming down slowly as though trying to land. I rushed out of the house with my brother and went to the area where we thought the plane landed.
"When we reached there, we saw the plane upside down and the pilot was out of the plane, but he looked dazed and was injured."
She said the pilot borrowed her handphone and contacted his family in Lumut, Perak.
Still wish to be a pilot but facing financial problem?!

For those who haven't watched this, check it out! ;) It's instreting! Cute kid's voice in the radio comm. Will it bring the hidden danger for pilots? That will be a lot of personal view. Let the aviation set back the very final rules and regulation then :D
For those who are love to listen to the aviation radio comm. frequency, here the link that i used to listen when I've nothing to do.
It's a wise way to listen up the radio comm. with different English ascents. You will appreciate and understand it when you come across with speaking with the foreigner around you. :)
Yesterday I came across to a conversation before I departing back to my hometown. "Where's the blog which is pink background? I was your reader before joining MFA" "o.O Mmm.. I see. Thanks."
another conversation of... "Didn't you know her? Especially her blog. Famous kut(Bahasa Malaysia)~ We're friend from there."
Further conversation "I accidentally found your found online when i was searching for my stuffs. I confirm it's you. I'm reading it half way. Now got to fly. Will continue the post later on"
From there..., I've decided to shut down(more on setting it as my personal blog dairy) the xiuyu88.blogspot.com Sorry. My honesty and direct in speaking, somehow I'm afraid it will bring me disaster in the training life and offense too many people indirectly. That's made up the final decision to stop that blog be published publicly.
When I checked back, the gauge still can track out hundreds people out there clicking my ex-blog daily. If you had the fate, here will the blog.
I didn't notice they're so many people reading it actually.
Guess my previous blog has made me be "slight famous" among those pilot wannabe until they are in the flying academy. Well, I have set it to private blog due to many private(my dairy) posts were in. This blog will be the continue blog of the www.xiuyu88.blogspot.com that any of you used to be reading it. It will still be the same. Noooooo worries~ ;)
Lets have the next NTSB report for the cause of accident to increase the situation awareness :
NTSB Identification: ATL06FA030. The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division Accident occurred Sunday, January 01, 2006 in Peachtree City, GA Probable Cause Approval Date: 4/25/2007 Aircraft: Piper PA-28-180, registration: N2169T Injuries: 1 Fatal.
The pilot requested the localizer 10-approach to the Macon Downtown Airport, Macon, Georgia (MAC). The pilot was radar vectored to intercept the localizer, and cleared for the localizer 10-approach. Shortly thereafter, the pilot advised approach control that he had over flown the localizer. The approach control specialist issued vectors back to the localizer, and he was cleared for another localizer 10-approach. The pilot reported to approach control that he was having trouble staying on the localizer, and requested to go to the Middle Georgia Airport, Macon, Georgia (MCN). He was subsequently cleared for the ILS runway 5-approach to MCN. The MCN tower advised approach control that the pilot had panicked during his approach, and went missed approach. The pilot contacted the MCN tower, reported that he had lost the localizer, and requested if he could be taken around to do the approach again. He was issued radar vectors back to the ILS runway 5-approach, and about one-half mile from the approach, the pilot requested to come around for another approach after drifting off course. The pilot made two more attempts to land at MCN before being radar vectored to the Peachtree City Airport-Falcon (FFC) localizer 31-approach. During the approach into FFC, radar contact was lost with the airplane. The airplane had collided with trees about 1 mile from the approach end of runway 31. Postcrash examination of the aircraft structure, flight controls, systems, engine, and propeller showed no anomalies. The pilot received his instrument rating less than 6 months before the accident, and had accumulated 17.1 total hours of actual instrument flight time. He had 133 hours of simulated instrument flight hours.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's failure to maintain sufficient altitude while performing an instrument approach in instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in an in-flight collision with trees and terrain.
