Well done for the new idea of management, MFA!

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 lotsa unsatisfaction 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.
