Continue to LIVE MY DREAM + PERSONAL LOL !

VAIN !

It's been a while since my last blog post regarding my life chasing the dream of mine, yeah indeed was busy and free all these while. Especially building MY BODY ! Damn I have some muscles on my hand thanks to SIFU SENSEI NICHOLAS JOACHIM ! So here I am, back to my dashboard to update what's really going on in my life.

Well, to date it's been exactly 9 months since I'm pursuing my life as a Cadet right here at the East of Malaysia, stranded with no entertainment but full of EXCITEMENT, THRILL and  FUN ! As I said in my last blog, I was in phase EASA 1 and I manage to pass all papers except Human Performance and Limitations + Airlaw which I decided to postpone the exam till later date as I don't really have confidence in those subjects as I dont wanna pay RM900 for those papers incase I fail !

Just a short brief on my exam experience. BULLSHIT ! Those hard or almost impossible to pass papers rumours is just a BULLSHIT ! For me seriously, if you studied well, and practice well in those exercise especially Aviation Exam, I guarantee you can pass with well high average ! Why ? Because it's really EASY ! For example, Aircraft General Knowledge, 95% of the questions out of 80 questions is from Aviation Exam ! The only paper I feel challenging is Principle Of Flight, my advise please study hard on this ! It's gonna help you next time when you are in Airline.

FINALLY ! I flew some hours right after I back from a short holiday after my exams. Well did not enjoyed well during the holiday but it's all worth it as I really learn't a lot new stuff in hangar right after I back to KB. Circuit, touch n go, IF flight, General Handling, Stall and Navigation Flight is my routine for the pass 2 months ! My best experience, NAVIGATION ! Damn 6000-8000 ft, 20 degree Celsius plus some good view of the clouds ! I just can't stay on the ground since those flights !

For info, I'm currently flying with 1 of the Piper Warrior 28 from the fleet of 15 of APFT. A very good analogue style aircraft, very stable plus it's really NOOB friendly HAHAHAHA ! It is powered by 4 cylinder Lycoming Naturally Aspirated Engines and consumes AVGAS 100LL as the fuel. With 4 seats, it rotates at 65 knots for normal take off with POB 3 ! Best part for me, it is controlled with normal Boeing Style Yoke ! I guess pictures will speak thousand words !

MY RELATIONSHIP STATUS !


Alright, now for the interesting part of my life other than study life. A lil bit personal I guess ? Yeah, I had some up and downs in my relationship this few months, things just does not work out. Who's problem ? Emmmm I guess most of it is mine ! I don't know guys, I always screw up relationship, maybe I just never met the right one ? Or maybe time ? Or maybe my life cycle, that always CHANGE every 1 year ! Seriously, I'm going for something really great in my life which is PILOT ! It's my dream since I know anything about relationship, so I can't really give up this for anything. Seriously, I dont think its fair for me to drag you down with my hectic life, my fucking attitude and my irresponsibility on relationship because of me ! And for me, I really wanted you to change, but I gave you so many time chances to do it. But it just doesn't WORK OUT ! Now you have something GREAT for you to chase for which is your career, I'm here fully supporting you always. Trust me. Your success is all I want since I know you and you know it very well.

I really hope you can get someone who really appreciate you, cares you and most importantly stays with you no matter what anyone says. Because I ain't that PERSON. I'm different, and I'm finding someone DIFFERENT !

Someone who really make me laugh, make me focus in my career as she strives her's and make me say 'HEYYYYYY, punch my face because I'm not working HARD !' I think I've found one person that was always her all these while, but something just never let me find her. Seriously, she's funny, and one thing I like on her, her smile LOL ! She looks like a very wise and caring person, especially to her family, quite amazed with her stories and how she look in things, SERIOUSLY MORE MATURE THAN ME ! Nehhhhhhh, just gonna be her friend, really wanted to know her more and more and more... I wonder she's the same in REAL PERSON HAHAHAHAHA :)

I LOVE YOU !
VAIN MAX !

Life at APFT Crew for 5 months in WORDS :)

Me in the class. Well picture says I'm boring !

Well, 5 months gone by air in a just a flick of a finger. Predicted graduation of Ab-Initio ATPL for me is 18 months and 13 months to go if everything goes smooth. Life here I can say is moderate, simple and relax, but of course I still miss Penang a lot, but for chasing the dream of mine, sacrifice is needed.

My place when weather is fantastic !

My place when weather is a bit not good !

My place when it's not good at all !


Food is great, sports and entertainment is just good. Loneliness always fills in me, but books fills my hand. I understand now, for every dream there is challenges and obstacles a person need to get through. I'm facing mine now so do all Aviators out there. To all the Aviator's, once a Pilot, always a Pilot !

Best lunch in APFT (Spaghetti and mushroom soup with garlic bread)

Penang Char Kuey Teow at nearby shop

Highly recommended ITIK SERATI just infront ground school KBR !

Best breakfast in APFT (Scrambled egg, hot dog and baked beans)

Triple Holy Cheese !!! In the airport of course :)


Okay, what's my progress at here ? At first, my batch started off with PPL (Private Pilot License  course which I finished in 1 month sharp. God bless, I passed all the necessary PPL exam in one sitting. The hardest part ? I would say Navigation and Meteorology ! Only two cadets in my batch including me passed in one sitting. If you are wondering why ? I would say, less revision. After that we went into Management Course which includes quite a number of subject for full-filling MQA (Malaysian Qualifications Agency) requirement for Diploma program in Aviation. Some of the subject we went into for 2 months duration are Bahasa Kebangsaan, Pengajian Malaysia, IPC (Interpersonal Communication) and OB (Organizational Behavior). Passed all in grade A which I'm really happy with it ! Hopefully my CGPA would rise and rise :)

During PPL exam group revision :)


Currently in Phase 1 ! The start of my aviation subjects and headache of-course ! 4000++ pages for me to study and 11 books for me to indulge in 2.5 months ! Is that possible ? Well, it is a YES ! I've gone through phase 1 for I guess 3 weeks already by now, and I feel with constant study and revision, most of the cadets can get through, but of-course EASA Exam is another case :(

Thickness as tall as MOUNTAIN ! Total 4000++ pages to go !


To those aspiring Pilot's out there, EASA 1 which is Phase 1 includes some technical subjects such as Airframe System, Power Plant, Electrical and Electronics, Principle of Flight, Air law,  VFR and IFR Communications and Human Performance and Limitations. All these subjects are according to EASA and DCA Malaysia combined standard and it is quite hard to get through. Just for info, each subject you wanted to resit in case you failed will cost you RM600 !!! Aim for ONE GO !!!

Weekend outing :)

Alright, APFT (Asia Pacific Flight Training) do train cadets practically for fulfilling the requirement of DCA Malaysia for air crew licensing. Such as ground training, flight training and also simulator training ! So what is SIMULATOR training ? A simulator is actually a machine that will replicate any situation in this case flying to the pilot to handle and counteract with it. A simulator can replicate emergencies such as engine failure and bad weather without causing high cost and even human life !

FSX a.k.a. Microsoft Flight Simulator X !


In APFT we have 3 simulator at the KBR ground school. Namely, ATR72-200 which can be configured to Piper Warrior Seminole by ALSIM. And 2 unit of Diamond-40 by Diamond Tech. One of the Diamond simulator is reserved for MPL student usage only for now and others are ATPL cadets.
