Batch A29 Malaysian Flying Academy Rocks! =)

Hello everyone! :)

Actually this is my second day in MFA and we have already started our ground school. We need to attend 7 hours of ground school classes daily from 0800h to 1700h and sit for the Private Pilot License (PPL) exam in 2 weeks time. So quick, isn't it? Yup, the time flies very fast here.

And yet, we feel like waiting forever before we can move to the next stage i.e. the flying phase. It's coz we need to finish our ground school first before we can start flying. By the way, our flying phase is scheduled to be in February 2010. Can't wait any longer! Huhuhu~ :)

Anyway, since it's a long way to go we'll just deal on the ground first, shall we? Speaking of Ground School, it so happened that our very first subject is Air Law. So ironic, isn't it? Hehehe~ Apart from Air Law, other subjects are Navigation, Meteorology, Theory of Flight, Instruments, Piston Engine, Basic Electrics, Airframe System, Radio Aids, Human Performance Limitations and Radio Telephony.

We need to pass all the ground school exams with the minimum passing marks of 75% and we only have 2-3 weeks before sitting for the exams. Who says flying is easy? Anyway, check out da pics ;P



My personal 'Pilots Flying Log Book'. It's just that i have to wait for another 2 months before i can start writing on it. We have to record every single detail of the flying sortie in this logbook :)


We go our Epaulette today!! Yeah, this thing is called Epaulette and only recently i know how to pronounce it correctly, hahaha. White Bar is for the cadets who have not accumulated the required flying hours.

After you have passed all the Private Pilot License ground school subjects and clocked 40 hours of flying the single engine aircraft, then you can wear the Red Bar epaulette ;p

My batchmates ;)

It's called L.L.B. No, it's not Lex Legum Baccalaureus (as in Bachelor Degree of Laws). It is "Look Like Busy". Hahaha. Everyone does look like bz on the first day including ME ;P

Looks nicer with the epaulettes on.

Thorn among the roses? Nope, they are the roses among the other 20 "thorns"!! ~hehehe~



Our dedicated A29/09 Batch Leader. Can't find anyone finer. Looks like he's saying "Do u know what time is it now??? You're late*%^&**%* !!!" Nahhh, he's a nice dude ;P



And it so happened that he's my roommate. hahahaha

Well, that's all for now. See ya! ;)
