- Snap the picture -

Being a pilot not only learn how to fly..

But also learn how to act when someone snap your picture..
How to make yourself look cool even the weather is hot..
Sitting beside the aircraft..
Act like doing the preflight check even it is acting..
Good enough to show how good you are, in acting..
I'm not saying about the others..
I'm saying about myself..
I like to pose when someone want to take my picture..
Wearing the pilot uniform..
Even we don't have a nice look and handsome..
When we wear the uniform we look nice..
Because of the uniform..
Thats why we like to act..
Just look at the cadet's profile in Facebook..
They all like to put their picture with uniform as a primary photo..
Then the others will add them, because they are cadet pilot..
Same goes to me..
Quite shame rite..
But it is ok..
As long as you know what you are doing and you know the limitation..
Insya Allah everything gonna be fine..
Here I upload some "nice" picture of me and the others..
Mostly at the hangar, with the aircraft..
We look cool even we fly like ..........
Fill in the blanks..
Don't worry about that..
The others don't know "skillful" you are..
As long as you know how to pose and act, you look macho..
Have to..
If not, what else you have..
Ok then..
Enjoy with the picture..

-Look like in an airplane?? Nope, it is just in the bus -

More than enough I think..
Too much of picture already..
Thats all for the time being..

Lets fly, high to the sky..

- Weird to see them -

Already 3 days I'm officially finish my life at APFT as a cadet..
The reality is 3 days but I feel like almost 3 months stay at home..
Not because of boring..
I just miss my flying moment..
No more flying for this moment..
Maybe minimum for 6 months..
Who knows it will be more than that..
It worse for me..
Its ok..
I just need to be patient..
Wait for the moment..
I feel comfortable stay at home,my parents house..
Look at their face everyday even sometimes lake of idea to talk with them..
Talk when only have an important thing..
If not, I better keep my mouth shut..
Better be quiet rather than talk something useless..
I think so..
Eat, sleep, surfing internet, hang out at night with my close friend..
That's my routine..
Almost everyday..
Sometimes clean the house (is it I say I clean the house??Something not correct there)..
Only sometimes in a while la..

Actually I have one thing, appear in my mind..
Long time ago..
Something to do with the cadet pilot..
With the APFT student..
Mostly my junior..
I have a lot of thing that I feel unsatisfied with them..
Nothing to do with their wealthiest, their handsome look (actually I'm lying about this),their skill,their knowledge..
I'm proud to know them who have something to show, to improve..
Sometimes they know better than me..
Yah..
Even I have more than 150 hours, they know better than me..
Their skill even good than me..
I realize that..
Even they only PPL stage..
No problem with me..
Good for them also..
But sometimes deal with "poyo" cadet..
Adalah sorang dua ni berlagak macam da terbang 1000 jam..
Ok fine..
Itu hak korang..
But don't show it in front of me..
Because I feel like want to vomit..
The style they walk, the way they look to the people's eye..
No respect to the others..
I don't want you to respect me, even I'm senior than you..
No need because I'm also same like you..
Maybe you better than me..
But why don't you respect the others..
Try to be humble..
They even know better than you..
But they keep it..
They not feel proud because they now where they are..
Not like you..
To proud to be cadet..
Come on la..
Bru jadi kadet, dapat pakai bar, dapat terbang 2 - 3 jam da bangga macam bawak kapal 747..
Please, come back to the reality..
Kalau request start up pon gagap, taxi kapal pon tak centerline, maintain straight and level pon tak boleh, don't bullshit the others..
Kan memperbodohkan diri namanya tu..
Setakat take-off kapal, budak sekolah pon boleh buat..
And one more..
To who like to wear their "macho" sunglasses, no need la to wear it until enter the operation room..
Once you went out form the aircraft, put it off..
If not, until you approaching the hangar,put it off..
Dont worry, there is no sunlight in the ops..
No need to be "macho"in the ops..
I also wear sunglasses, but I put it back in the bag once out from the aircraft..
The others have sunglasses expensive than yours..
No need to show off ok..
If you not satisfied with what I'm saying, its ok..
You can wear it until you enter the toilet also..
No problem..
No need to take it off from your face..
Wear it until you reach your room..
Satisfied??

Please, be humble..
I don't mind you want to feel proud of yourself..
No harm..
But, keep it in yourself..
I also feel proud of myself..
After struggling so much, I enter this academy..
Learn to be a pilot.
Not all of us can enter this such a big world..
Aviation world..
They don't have chance and capability like us..
But its doesn't you can be to proud..
Remember, especially to muslim..
Allah give you all of this..
He can take it from you anytime..
So, why not be humble..
Praise to Allah because give you a such big opportunity in your life..
I know some of you is son of someone..
Rich people, VIP's, captain of airline sum more..
But this is not a ticket for you to feel safe..
This is only the beginning of your life..
Still have a lot of thing you have to face in future..
Don't be so dependent to the others..
Relay to yourself..
Work hard, jangan sesekali putus asa..
Ingat..
Dia sentiasa memerhati kita..
Doa , usaha dan tawakkal..
Kunci kejayaan hakiki..

Sorry if my word hurt somebody..
Sekadar menegur diri sendiri yang sering kali lupa dan alpa..
Moga kita sama2 mendapat rahmatNya..
Insya Allah..

Lets fly, high to the sky..

- Nothing to do with post above -

- I'm closing my book -

The moment I press the keypad, I already become ex-student of APFT..
I finish my IRT..
The last test in twin engine flying..
And the last, meaning you finish your study at this academy..
For a moment I have no time to update this thing..
I have no time..
But when I have time, I will be busy doing something else..
A lot of story tell..
A lot of moment to share..
A lot of picture to upload..
Its all about flying experience..
Flying moment..
I think my flying life is more interesting than my life..
Thats why I keep my life from the others, make it isolated..
And just share about flying experience..
Remain a secret..
Alhamdulillah..
After 30 months..
29 months 28 days to be exact..
I finish my flying..
End my training..
But it doesn't mean I stop learning..
I still have a lot of thing to put in my mind..
In my head..
I have go through a lot of thing, experience since become a student here..
Bad thing, good thing..
All unforgettable memory..
Until the end of my life..
Insya Allah..
I will keep it in my hard disk..
I meet various type of human being..
I don't want to mention anyone..
Because someone will ask, who was that guy that I'm talking about..
Have no time to explain..
I will keep the story and I will share will all of you when I have time to post it here..
I'm thinking about that..
Because a lot of story..
Need time to sequence all the story and compile in one file..
If I can..
I not..
Just hentam sajela..
As long as who read it can understand what I try to explain to them..

I leave my life here..
I will miss the moment..
Stay at the hangar from early in the morning until late evening..
Borak-borak with everyone at the operation room..
Make a joke there even sometimes look like stupid joke..
But at least have someone smile because of the stupid joke..
I have been here for so long..
Until all the person in operation room was like my family..
Encik Wahi, Encik Azmi,Encik Nasir, Abg Nik, Abg Faris and Kak Aida..
All of them was a wonderful person..
Great to know them..
I will remember all of you..
The others also..
The cleaner, the marshaller..
Everyone..
I will not forget all of you..

I think that's all for time being..
I will have a plenty of time now on..
Tanam anggur kat rumah..
You know what I mean rite..
Pray for me..
Pray always..
Moga Allah Taala permudahkan segalanya..
Insya Allah..
Thanks..
I will always pray for all you..
Until my last breath..
May Allah bless all of us..

Lets fly, high to the sky..

- Last mutual and flying at APFT -

- Menjalin Persahabatan -

Dalam beberapa hari ni saya terfikir tentang soal sahabat..
Terasa ada sesuatu yang perlu d nukilkan..
Perkara yang sama sekali berkaitan dengan kawan, sahabat..
Kawan dan sahabat memang berbeza..
Tapi maknanya tetap sama..
Kawan lebih kepada kenalan biasa..
Bertegur sapa..
Senyum bila berjumpa..
Tetapi sahabat ini, lebih dalam pengertiannya..
Sahabat, bukan mudah untuk d cari..
Sahabat adalah manusia yang akan sentiasa bersama kita tidak kira susah atau senang..
Semua manusia termasuk saya sendiri mahukan sahabat, bukan semata-mata kawan..
Kawan, belum tentu akan ada untuk kita d kala susah..
Tetapi sedarkah diri kita..
Kita mahukan seseorang yang sempurna sedangkan diri kita langsung tak mahu menjadi sempurna..
Kita tidak pernah berusaha untuk menjadi yang terbaik, sedangkan kita selalu mahukan yang terbaik..
Dangkallah fikiran sedemikian..
Mana mungkin kita akan dapat sesuatu tanpa usaha..

Allah takkan kurniakan manusia yang sempurna kepada kita yang sering alpa..
Kita langsung mengingkarinya, tetapi kita mahukan mnusia yang soleh mendampingi kita..
Salahlah tanggapan sedemikian..
Mengapa kita tidak berusaha..
Menjelmakan kesempurnaan dalam diri kita..
Ya..
Saya akui..
Kita bukan manusia yang sempurna..
Akan tetapi tidak salah untuk kita mencari kesempurnaan..
Saya dan kamu..
Sentiasa memperbaiki diri..
Kita tak mampu hidup keseorangan dalam dunia ini tanpa teman..
Jauh atau dekat..
Tidak kira siapa..
Kita saling memerlukan antara satu sama lain..
Saya punyai sahabat karib..
Kamu juga pasti sama..
Dialah tempat untuk kita berkongsi suka duka..
Begitu juga sebaliknya..
Bersahabat ini sungguh indah..

Tuhan ciptakan ia untuk kita nikmati..
Bukan untuk kita bermain dengannya..
Tujuan saya dan kamu bersahabat, bukan semata-mata untuk bersuka ria..
Tetapi untuk mendapatkan kebaikan..
Give n take..
I got something from you and you got something from me..
Bukan benda bersifat kebendaan..
Setiap manusia ade kebaikan dalam dirinya..
Kita berkongsi..
Tegur menegur antara 1 sama lain..
Saya mahukan kebaikan dari kamu..
Tidak kira apa jua ia..
Begitu juga kamu..
Allah takdirkan saya dan kamu bertemu, berkenal-kenalan..
Untuk kita memberi tunjuk ajar pada diri yang lain..
Bukan bermaksud kita pandai dan lebih baik dari orang lain..
Perbuatan sudah cukup untuk memberikan pengajaran kepada seseorang..
Kita berkongsi ilmu..
Tak semua benda kamu tahu, begitu juga saya..
Bila kita berkongsi ilmu, saya tahu apa yang anda tahu..
Begitu juga sebaliknya..

Sahabat ini membawa kita kepada kebaikan..
Bukan membawa kita kepada mungkar..
Bila kita lupa dan alpa..
Dia datang mengingatkan..
Bila kita lemah semangat..
Dia datang meniup obor harapan..
Bila kita bersedih..
Dia kan datang dengan senyuman yang paling menawan..
Biar dia tak mampu bantu kita secara fizikal seperti harta dan wang ringgit..
Cukuplah dia datang memberi ketenangan..

Ikhlas dan jujur..
Cukup menjadi tunjang dalam persabatan..
Jangan d kejar rupa..
Kerana rupa takkan kekal lama..
Jangan d pilih harta..
Kerana ia akan habis..
Pilihlah kerana nilai kesucian hatinya..
Ikhlasnya dia..
Jujurnya dia..
Tinggi akhlak budinya..
Pasti kita akan senang bersahabat dengannya..
Persahabatan ini akan d bawa sampai ke akhirat..

Terima kasih sahabat..

- Night Flying (Continue) -

After the first night flying I have done..

Continue with the remaining sorties..
Night flying 2 is actually a solo check night flying..
Is the instructor satisfied with us, they will release us to do night flying solo which is night flying 3..
But this time, I have to do night flying 2 & 4 together..
Actually I don't have any night flying sorties..
One of my friend want me to replace him..
So, I take sortie..
This time with Cart Zeenudin..
But when I come, my other friend ask me to replace him..
So means, I have to fly 2 sorties with Capt Zeenudin..
Its ok..
Because for me its an opportunity..
Its hard to get the night flying sorties..
So I just grab it..
I fly 2 hours with him..
Alhamdulillah, everything was fine..
But this time, he assist me a lot..
I'm not sure why my landing today not as good as night flying 1..
I think maybe because I "cuak" with him..
And then the wind on final is quite strong..
But, manage to finish it..
The next, my first solo night flying..
Pretty excited and afraid also..
For the first time to fly alone at night..
From POB 2 reduce to POB 1..

This time, I only depend to myself..
But, be confident with yourself..
Just high to the limit..
Not to be over it..
Because you know what is the effect of ever-confident..

My first night flying solo is on 28th November 2010..
This time using 9M-NRB..
As per normal..
Briefing, Pre-flight the aircraft, went out for dinner, perform Maghrib prayer..
And we are ready for start..
As usual, radio call..
But this time using my own callsign, APAC 2161..
I think no need for me to tell the details because I know all of you now about..
As per entry before (malas nak menaip sekali lagi)..
Airborne, touch n go, hold at downwind, request hold KB Town..
As per usual..

And the remaining sorties for dual, I done with Capt Nay..
Don't to talk about that and about him..

Better to be silent..
And once I done night flying with runway 28 in use..
What a great moment..
Normally runway 10 in use..
Rarely runway 28..
But once you get the chance, use it as much as you can..
Can test your skill..
Using runway 10, my circuit can say normal..
But using runway 28, my circuit quite weird..
Always end up low, sometimes high..
My judgment still not good enough..
I'm not like the others who always say that they flying was so skillful..
Don't want to mention any name..
So controversial..

I have done go around, low approach on runway 28..
This the moment that I can't forget..
My approach was too low..
Intentionally for that..
I want to land and stop before holding point Charlie..
But unintentionally, my approach was too low..
4 red while turning final..
I continue until one moment I realise that the light at the end of the threshold just under me..
One word just come from my mouth..
"woooooohhh"
And I add the power,continue land..
And land just nice on the threshold..
Stop before Charlie, no backtrack..
Yes, finally I do it..
Even before stop,I press the break so hard..
Like I near to burst the tyre..
Sekali sekala aje..
And finish my sortie..
Alhamdulillah..
Finish my night flying..
Nothing unpredictable thing happen..
Such as POB 1 + 1 on the air..
Something 'menumpang' your aircraft from outside at the canopy..
And uninvited "instructor" beside you..
Hoho..
And make sure all around really clear when you want to commence a turn..
Who knows,you might say, "Left clear,front clear, right ....... something on the window, stare at me..
Haha..
Who knows you are the lucky one..
Opsss..
Sorry..
To all cadets who doing night flying at this moment or going to,so your best..

And one more, don't hear any ghost story before your flight especially solo sortie..
Okey..
Finish about night flying..
And always, don't forget to recite your prayer & doa before enter the aircraft..

May Allah protect you always during the flight..

Insya Allah..
I have recorded video from the cockpit during night flying..
One day I will post it here and share with all of you..
Insya Allah..

Lets fly, high to the sky..
(",)

..Before flight..

..Ready for start up..

I found this.. And snap a picture with it..

I try to take my own picture.. At the end, I know it is so weird to see this picture.. And I post here, to share with you my "muka pelik" picture.. Sorry for the inconvenience.. =)
