Today we had opportunity to visit the "nest of the birdies" i.e. the MFA hangar. Hehehehe~ This is the place where the MFA aircraft, Piper Warrior PA28 and the Piper Seneca III undergo their routine maintenance check, ground servicing and so on.
For ur info, Piper Warrior is a single engine aircraft with only one propeller blade mounted on the nose of the aircraft. We are going to fly this bird for almost 160 hours throughout the 18 months course duration.
On the other hand, the Piper Seneca III is the twin-engine aircraft. The Seneca III design is more sleek and the engine is more powerful (and got nice sound too, hehe) as compared to its younger brother, the Warrior.
Enjoy da pics :)
This is called a Techlog a.k.a technical log. All the preflight and postflight data will be recorded in this techlog such as the takeoff and landing time, the Pilot-In-Command and the occurance of defect on the aircraft (if any) during the flying sortie.
