-HanX- An Air Postman

An Air Postman

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Hi everyone, finally I'm back again to update my blog after missing for almost 8 months.

I guess you all must be very curious what I had been done for the past 8 months.
Don't worry, I will tell you guys 1 by 1.

My last post was updated until I became an Assistant Flying Instructor in MFA.
Actually, I resigned as an AFI on 3th of January. I got called up by Transmile Air for accessment test and interview when I was an AFI in MFA. I managed to passed the test and also interview. I prefer to become an airlines pilot than an instructor. So at the end I decided to breach the bond with MFA and joined Transmile Air.

There are 2 fleets in Transmile, which is B727-200F and B737-200ADV. I choosen B737-200ADV because I prefer to fly 2 men crew aircraft. I did my ground school in Transmile Centre for about 3 months from Jan to March. After that we were sent to Jakarta Sri Wijaya training centre for B737-200 simulator. I did my endorsement flight on B737-200ADV on April then I started my line training. I was cleared on mid of July and became a fully operational crew. So now I'm an official Air Postman.

Basically thats what happened to me for the past 8 months.

Thank you so much for your continues support.

Warmest Regards

The life being an Assistant Flying Instructor

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 06:46:00 +0000

Hello ladies and gentlemenm,

I'm back to update this blog again.

Nothing much I want to update... Just little bit about my life as an assistant
flying instructors.

I have done AFI course and passed my AFI test in November. After that, I went on leave until my license is endorsed by DCA. Roughly around 12 days and I started instructing on 8th of December.

Captain Jhick (CFI) has assigned 12 students under me. Half of them are on ground school and half of them are on flying phase. So, I only have around 6 students can fly with. Some of them are very good in both flying and procedures. Some of them with 120 hours but still can't maintain straight and level. Other than that, there are some of them can't even absorb what you are teaching. Being an instructor is not easy at all. Seriously HEADACHE...

Thats all for this round...

Assistant Flying Instructor Course in MFA

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:23:00 +0000

Reported myself to Malaysian Flying Academy on 20th September. There are total of 4 students in my batch. They are Mr.Muurali from Batch A16, Mr.Karamjeet A18, Mr.Nicholas Leong A20 and myself A22. Basically, nothing much for the first day. We signed our contract infront of MFA registrar and briefed by MFA CI Captain Steve Terry about our course and schedule. So now I'm officially bonded with MFA for 2 years.

For the past 2 weeks we had gone through Instructional Technic classes and some ground subjects. Basically, we had learnt all this before but now we have to learn how to teach the students. It wont be easy if you get a slow learning student.

I will be under Captain Lindsey for this 2-3 months period. He will be flying with me for most of the dual flight. I hope I can be a good instructor like him. He is the most linear instructor in MFA. Most of the students wish to under him as well.

My flying phase will start on next Wednesday. Captain JK will do my COT and then I can go for SOLO again. I didn't touch the control column for around 10 months I hope I can still perform well and not rusty.

I will update my progress again from time to time...

Thanks for your continued support

Best Regards

I haven't passed my AFI course so fast they put "CAPTAIN" on my file =.=''

Assistant Flying Instructor

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:50:00 +0000

Hi ladies and gentlemen, I'm back to update my inactive blog again.

After have been jobless for more than 8 months finally I have got a job as an Assistant Flying Instructor in Malaysian Flying Academy. I have to gone through some ground classes, flying and tests before I can become an official AFI. I will be bonded with MFA. So I have to work for them for 2 years time before I can quit else I have to compensate them a big amount of money.

At the beginning I was quite hesitate whether want to be an AFI or not. But now I can say loudly "I really desperate and need the job very much." I'm just 21 years old I still got plenty of time. 2 years is not a big deal. At least now I can continue flying and keep intact with aviation field rather than sitting on ground being a teller in Bank.

My AFI course will start on 20th September. I will be staying in Malacca for another 2 years. I hope my training will goes smoothly and airlines will offer me a job 2 years later.

Wish me all the best....

Thanks

Regards

The Days of Being Jobless...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sat, 22 May 2010 05:32:00 +0000

From the day I got my license until today I officially graduated for 161 days that means I jobless for more than 5 months. Actually I have a lot of things didn't update to this blog. I always hope my next update will be a good news which is I got an offer from airlines. But I'm wondering when it will comes.

This will be a simplified version of what I had done for past few months.

21/02/2010 - I'm officially 21 years old. I celebrated it by opening a birthday party in my house. Special thank you to those who attended to my birthday party and sorry to those who were not been invited.

25/03/2010 - My partnerships company officially registered in Malaysia named My Hobby House (http://www.myaviationshop.com/). Partnerships with Kai Mun, Alex Yap and Yu Hang. We import aircraft models from oversea and sell it in Malaysia. We are the only Phoenix Model distributor in Malaysia. For aircraft model collectors you can visit to our website to see what models we are having now.

31/4/2010 - Malaysian Flying Academy Graduation Ceremony. I had been recognized as "Best Student in Aviation Subjects" and "Best Overall Student" by Malaysian Flying Academy. I hope this 2 awards will help me to get job easier and faster.

06/05/2010 - First day working in Public Bank Banting. Until today I had been working there for 2 weeks plus. I get to know Miss Public Bank which is my trainer Ah Tan, Blurblur Princess Ah Ong, Dreaming Queen Joey, SotSot Ou Yian, The best officer Ah Choo and more... I'm really happy over there and learnt a lot of things. But that is not my main field. My ambition is to be a pilot. My passion is to fly up high. I will leave there anytime when I get a job offer from Airlines. I hope my PBB colleagues will remember me forever. Its really nice to be with you all. Thank you very much.

Thats all for this time... Not sure when will be the next update... Maybe 1 week, 1 month or few months. Sorry for that.

Thank You...

Warmest Regards to my readers.

Singapore AirShow 2010

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:02:00 +0000

Again I'm back to update my dead blog after 1 month. I went to Singapore AirShow on 5th February with group of friends by Jetstar Asia Airways. The air tickets were RM0 I only paid RM121 for the taxes and $21 for entrance ticket. We went there and came back on same day. We experienced 2 airlines' aircraft on same day. Which were Valuair and also Jetstar because Valuair already acquired by Jetstar. Valuair A320 seats' leg room is much more bigger compare to Jetstar, but the seats are abit old.

I felt that Singapore AirShow 2010 is much more better compare to LIMA 2009 in both flying display and also aircraft display. They had Airbus Industrie A330-200F and also Garuda Boeing 737-800 for display. While, LIMA 2009's biggest aircraft display was just MASwings' ATR 72-500. I had snapped few hundred photos. I already picked up some to show to my readers. Please enjoy. Thank You.

Jobless

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:33:00 +0000

I have graduated for 60 days and got my license for 31 days, but I'm still jobless here. I had submitted my resumes to most of the airlines in Malaysia, but well I don't think I will get respond in this short period. I really hope I can get an airline job as soon as possible.

I really got no idea what to update again now. I think I will not update my blog so often until I get a job.

I will update again if I have any news about my future and career.

Thanks for everyone's support.

LIMA 2009

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:06:00 +0000

Attended to LIMA on 5th of December with my batchmates, seniors and some friends. Frankly speaking, LIMA 2009 seriously made me very dissapointed. Even Thunderbirds show also better than LIMA 2009. We were hoping to see formation flight but, there were only ONE MAN SHOW. I hope LIMA 2011 will be better else I promise myself I wont go to LIMA again.

The only part that made me felt happy was visited to MAS Boeing 737-400 cockpit, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Bombardier CL 415MP cockpit and also AirAsia Airbus A320 cockpit. First time stepped into big aircraft's cockpit. Holding the control column and throttle and wondering when I can fly this aircraft. I hope my chance will come as soon as possible.

Good Bye MFA...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:36:00 +0000

Still remembered I joined MFA last year 9th June with zero flying knowledge and zero flying experience. After 17 months and 16 days which is last Wednesday I managed to finished my Piloting course at MFA and rewarded a Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Rating. 17 months and 16 days are neither long nor short. I experienced alot of things in that period. Difficulties, happiness, sadness and anger. Well, human are meant to grow by going through the difficulties. I know I still have long way to go, but yet I had done first part of my career. I will work harder for my better future.

Other than that, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to my parents for sponsored me, my flying and ground instructors who really worked hard to taught me, my batchmates and seniors who really helped me alot and others. I'll not forget you all in the rest of my life.

Graduating Soon...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:41:00 +0000

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen~ I'm back again. Just finished my Instrument Rating Test few days back. Before the test I couldn't sleep well and kept thinking of it. Ar well, I already done it and got an "A". I'm satisfied with the grade I got. I hope my instructor will proud of me too.

I have collected few extra hours for Twin Engines. So I decided to go WMKP (Penang) with my instructor. We flew there yesterday crusing at 10,000feet and I had 2 passengers on board they were Andy and Thurai, both of them are my batchmates. First time stepped to WMKP I was so excited. Initially we taxied our aircraft to B747 Parking bay. Well, that was our first time landed at that aerodrome of course we didn't know where to park the aircraft, but still the ATC leaded us to another parking bay which is for small aircrafts. We had Kenny Rogers as our lunch there treated by my instructor Captain Usman Khan. Thank You very much Sir.

On the way back we were cruising at 9,000feet and we used different airways. Initially, we decided to do an ILS approach at WMKI (Ipoh) but at the end we didn't do it because we were short of time. So we just go overhead at 9,000feet and came back to WMKM.

So far I had clocked total 194 hours 15 minutes. Another 5 hours and 45 minutes to go. Will be doing 4 hours night flying next week. Expected to graduate after night flying. I hope next Mon, Tues and Wed night weather will be very good so that I can finish my night flying and leave MFA.

Nothing much~

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:26:00 +0000

Sorry my dear readers... almost 1 month I never updated my blog I'm not in mood to update my blog, but well I will update my flying progress today. Basically, I have clocked 17 hours 25 minutes in Piper Seneca 3. Thats mean I have 17 hours 35 hours to go. I have done my Twin Engine type rating test which is PT6 at around 10 hours of GH flights, other than that I have 3 hours of instrument flying and also 3 hours of Airways flying. Expected to finish everything by end of November, but well~ I didn't fly for more than 1 week. MFA giving priority to seniors, because some of them are really left behind compare to my batchmates.

Hope I can finish it quickly and get a nice job. Which ever come first I'll take. I will not be choosy.

Flying Progress...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:37:00 +0000

Finished my Single Engine last Tuesday and started my first Twin Engine flight on Thursday with my new instructor Captain Lindsey. Currently, clocked 3 hours and 10 minutes in Twin Engine Piper Seneca 3 PA34-200T. Hope I can finish everything by end of this year.

RMAF Sukhoi30MKM and USAF Thunderbirds F-16

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:44:00 +0000

After planned for few days finally I have chance to go watch Thunderbirds at RMAF Subang Airbase. The show was on last Saturday, I went there with Ju Lian, Alex and his brothers. The traffic on that day was really alot. We faced a very serious traffic jam. We stucked in the traffic jam for around 2 hours.

The show was really amazing and undescribable. I snapped approximately 500 photos. I picked up some nice photos to upload into my blog and share it with my dear readers. Please enjoy it. Thank You.

Yesterday, I went to spotting aircraft at WMKK with group of friends, they are Ju Lian, En.Mazlan, Hafiq and Seah. This spotting can consider is the most happiest spotting I ever been before. We had snapped alot wide body aircraft and also my own emo pictures.

After spotting we went to Bagan Lalang for some seafoods. It was a fantastic dinner which treated by En.Mazlan. All of us eaten alot actually. Must thanks En.Mazlan for the delicious dinner. Looking forward for another meal. Haha...

I had changed my blog's template 2 days back and added some new widgets. I guess this new look will let the readers have different impression on my blog and of course easier to read. For your information if you are using Internet Explorer to browse my blog the pictures at slide column will not move, for Mozilla Firefox user you wont see the pictures at all and for Google Chrome user you can browse my blog perfectly without any problem.

Until today my blog is around 1 year and 10 months old near to 2 years. I had posted more than 100 posts here. I read back some very old posts just now. I realised my english was really terrible, how could I posted with that kind of english? I know at this time my english is still not good enough, but I guess I had improved compare to previous time.

Update on my flying side. So far I had clocked 156 hours 35 minutes. 8 hours 25 minutes Single Engine to go before I can enter Multi Engine Phase. If everything go smoothly I most properly will join ME phase the week after Raya.

Thats all for this round... Please give some comments regarding to my new template...

Thank You

Farewell Party...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:28:00 +0000

We had a Barbeque Farewell party for our best friends Oprah and Ying Fui on last Sunday. They are going to continue their studies in Taiwan. Oprah is my secondary school friend we know each other for around 8 years and I knew Ying Fui since I was standard 1 thats mean we know each other for almost 14 years. Actually, all of us are not willing to apart with them, but studies are more important compare to others. I'm here wishing both of you good luck and all the best in your studies. See you again during Chinese New Year next year.

Update...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:38:00 +0000

Again... I didn't update my blog for quite sometimes. Very sorry about that. I was busy with my Navigation flight. Everyday standby and try to get slot for Navigation. Until today I finished Navigation Progress Test and General Handling Progress Test. Both also with satisfactory result. So far, I had clocked total of 140 hours 10 minutes and I'm going for Instrument Flying Progress Test on next week which is my last Progress Test for Single Engine. Hope I can do it well. Can't wait to join twin engine.

Visitors...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:37:00 +0000

I had few visitors who are Royal Selangor Flying Club members flew a Cessna C172 Single Engine aircraft registration 9M-RFC from Simpang Airport to WMKM to visit me and MFA yesterday. They reached WMKM at around 10.50am they parked their aircraft at main terminal, then I drove them from Main Terminal to MFA.

After an hour I drove them back to main terminal again. I went into the terminal with them. I was shocked when I saw arrivals and departures information at LCD screen. Since when MAS and Airasia aircraft land here? The worst part is Arrival and Departures from/to Tokyo, Thailand and London. After that a policewoman told me actually there are some shotting going on. They made fake display because most of the time WMKM airport's departures and arrivals screen are EMPTY except 1 Riau from Pekan Baru.

Jaison and Ju Lian please come Malacca again next time and please stay over night here so we have more time to lepak together.

Actually there were 5 of us... Sorry didi I have forgotten your name and thanks for holding camera for us.

Please look at the Arrivals and Departures screen.

WMKK 14R...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 07:11:00 +0000

When I was on the way back from Malacca to my home yesterday, I saw an aircraft on final approach to land at KLIA, it was an Airbus A330. I kept staring at the aircraft and it inspired me, at last I decided to go spotting aircraft at Meteorology Station for a while. On that time Runway 14R was in use for departures.

I saw a special incident which I never seen before. A MAS Boeing 737-400 on rolling at around 6.20pm when at VR (Rotate) speed I believe because the nose wheel is not on ground anymore out of sudden BOOM... It seems like something exploded and got some smoke came out from left side near to left engine. The pilots took immediate action. They rejected takeoff and taxi out from the runway. On that time I didn't know what is happening I assumed the aircraft's landing gear burst. I didn't manage to snap the incident's picture because I get bored of snapping 737 so I wasn't in ready condition, but I had snapped few pictures that MAHB workers picking up something that left by the MAS Boeing 737-400 on runway (It seems like tyre's rubber). I went off in a short while after the incident. When I came back I copied all the pictures from my memory card to my computer. I zoomed the pictures and look clearly, it is not tyre rubber, it looked like a BIRD... so it was bird strike or landing gear burst... you judge by yourself from the pictures.

I had uploaded some other aircraft's pictures also. Please have a look... Thank You...

Phones I used before...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:01:00 +0000

Recently, my flying phase stucked due to bad weather. I didn't fly for quite some time. So what I usually do is just sleep, eat and online, don't know how long more I need to go through this kind of boring life.

I hope I can update my blog everyday, but I really got no idea what to update... So today I just simply picked up a topic to keep my blog alive. I mentioned at previous post I have bought a new phone Nokia N97, its my 7th phones. From the day I start using handphone until now I have changed total of 7 phones. Guess what phones I used before? All are Nokia phones. I'm a loyal Nokia supporter although the price drop very fast but I still like the style and functions. Models I used before as follow...

Nokia 3210 --> 2100 --> 3610 --> 7250I --> 7610 --> N95 --> N97

UKCAA examinations all CLEARED...

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:29:00 +0000

After worried for more than 1 week, finally I got my CA2 result on last Friday. Before I got the result I promised to myself I will get myself a new phone Nokia N97 if I passed both subjects, but if I failed I will just forget about the phone. Fortunately, I passed both subjects. So on the same day I bought Nokia N97 which cost me RM2300.

I would like to say congratulation to those who passed, those who failed please don't sad, try harder next time. All the best to you.

My First Night Flying~

noreply@blogger.com (HanX) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:57:00 +0000

After anticipated for quite some time, finally they scheduled me for night flying yesterday. That was my first night flying in my life and it was a dual flight. The instructor who flew with me was Captain Lindsey, he is one of the senior instructor in MFA. We have done normal Landing, normal landing without landing light, flapless landing without landing light and normal landing with total electrical failure. I was quite satisfied with my 1st night flying. I felt I did it quite well. Of course I never forgot to say Thank You to Captain Lindsey for teaching me so much of things about night flying.

I have snapped some pictures... Please have a look~

Final for touch and go...

Final again...
