Happy Raya in Pengkalan Chepa with Family.

Asm and selamat hari raya to those visiting my blog and reading this entry. Ramadhan has passed and Shawal is a month to celebrate the success during Ramadhan. Because of my training i had to stay in Kelantan and waited for my family for the Raya. All of my brothers and sisters were able to come back and beraya in Kelantan. it was a really a smashing feeling as i do miss my family a lot. Family is my back bone. and not to forget thank you for all wishing me Happy birthday. Asm.

The Back Bone. 

The Passion of Flying

To be honest and not to be cocky im now a real pilot. i have my PPL in my hand now. it means a lot to me as from now on i will only need to keep clocking my hours so that i can upgrade my license to CPL(IR) license. its a dream come true. the job has not done yet and it will always never be done as piloting is a long term study and it needs courage from the inside. you have to be centered of what you are to achieve in aviation world.  Piloting is a journey. =) there are exercises to be completed in my training, it means that i have to be competent in doing the exercises. the first exercise is the General Handling(GH) exercise. it covers all the local procedure in handling the aircraft accurately and safely. in GH i have a climb, descent,climb and descending turn, medium turn, steep turn, stall and also the circuit flying. All of the flying is to get yourself in charge of the aircraft and not the other way around. After completing the GH exercise i was introduced to Navigation flight(NAV). Nav is not a local flying as you flying from and to different control zone and this is a good introduction to a cross country flying.  Many procedures should be done during this exercise. once again you have to think ahead of the aircraft. Aviate, navigate and communicate is the order of doing things up there. after Nav i was introduced to Instrument Flying(IF). During reduced visibility we cannot fly with visual reference and we have to rely on the instrument installed in the cockpit to get our position and to the station. this is something new and the most interesting part of the flying experience for me. you have to maintain good orientation and make sure you dont be fooled by the instrument. do not get confused. for CPL flying in KB, we only do VOR Y Rwy10 for our letdown exercise. this one is the most challenging as you got to trust your instrument without looking outside. .hell yeah. hahaha. InsyAllah one day il be one of the guys who fly the jet. =) thats the dream, goal and target that i have to achieve and all my effort should be on it. dont you think so?? i think so. so dont bother. concentrate and focus. its al about knowledges and the skills that you required to be an airlines pilot. this is my journey. =)

My current office or maybe study room.hahaha =)

The Beauty of Instrument Flying (IF)

We are going to need charts. Without the charts your flight path will be a messed up. ADF(NDB) is a good instrument as it is very sensitive to magnetic waves. in WMKC we are going to use VOR Y RWY 10 as initial IF exercise. the indicator will be a CDI indicator. as we know radio aid stations is a magnetic devices. As a result your rmi or rbi will be pointing to the station no matter what heading you are in. its a good double check for your position. you cannot start your flight in VFR and continue in IFR but you can start your flight in IFR and continue in VFR. keep that in mind and you wont lost or anything.
