Batch A29 Photography Session =)

Hello guys, we meet again =)

Today we have been scheduled to have our batch's photography session and our contract signing ceremony (sounds like corporate signing of the MoU, hahaha) and we were looking forward to it.

So, while waiting for Ms. Chua Airin (the "lady boss" here =), we spent some time in the hangar checking out on the aircraft and acting like we are one of those aircraft engineers ~hehehe.

One of the staff came and he voluntarily briefed us regarding the aircraft particularly on the airframe system,engine and also the aircraft propeller, very nice guy though =)


One of my batchmates, Fred was listening attentively during the briefing...(or was he sleeping?) ~hehehe, kiddin'...kiddin' =)



Staff : "Adik-adik, benda alah ni namanya kipas..."

A29 : "Ohhh...kipas..."



The cockpit a.k.a the flight deck of the Piper Warrior PA-28 aircraft. The one that looks like the car steering wheel is called "Control Column".

To pitch up the nose of the aircraft you have to pull back on the control column and push forward to pitch down. Got it? =p



Hmmm...the twin engine aircraft - Piper Seneca III. Wish could own 2 of these...one for daily use and another one for weekend...huh!



It's called twin-engine aircraft coz it has 2 engines, one on its left (referred as "Port") and another one is on its right (referred as "Starboard").

Can u see the propeller on each side of the aircraft? They are driven by the crankshafts of the engines to create propulsion/movement of the aircraft.

Oh yeah, we have one subject on Piston Engine and u don't want me to write about it as there's a long long long story behind it. Trust me. "Magneto? Potato?" =p



Ms. Airin has arrived and now it's time to take some batch photos. While walking on the apron (again, u're not gonna wear this in the kitchen), we saw one PA-28 on final to land. Time to take some photos =p



Three aircraft, two Warriors and one Seneca III holding short on Taxiway Charlie, waiting for Air Traffic Control's instruction to line up before they are cleared to take-off.

Before i forgot, a Taxiway is like a path that connects to a runway and it's numbered in Alphabets. For example A for "Alpha", B for "Bravo" and C for "Charlie". In Malacca, we have 4 taxiways including Taxiway D (or "Delta") =)

A29/09's Batch Photo! We're gonna keep this photo and hang it on the wall, kitchen, garden, toilet, bathroom whatsoever, for the rest of our life. Which one is me? Find yourself. huhuhu~
