Airport management course!

Ok Guys! I'm back!
Been busy for some time.
A flight of mine to Kuching,Sarawak, Malaysia, I get to know a guy... A friendly guy.
After chatting with him, it does pop up in my mind for.... AIRPORT MANAGEMENT STUDY!!!!

Well, I've been doing some research lately... Mmm..
It comes to me is...
For those,who can't be a pilot (fianancial problem, family doesn't allow, health problem...and etc.) but still wish to stay in aviation field, together with aviation for life time..
Other than become and engineer, cabin drew, passenger .....you can opt to be an AIRPORT MANAGER in the future!
NOT TOO BAD, isn't it?! Future is bright too!

It just seems to be a sponsorship course be offered by the Malaysia government. Ain't that bad, right? =)
Well, it's available in U.S., Singapore and lot of countries as well. Check it out for your own country if you're interested for the course~ ;)

ICAO code for Malaysia aerodromes/airports

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.
