MH FLGHT SIMULATOR EXPERIENCE (MH FSE)
Get a glimpse into how our pilots fly an aircraft, through our MH Flight Simulator Experience . About MH FSE
Rashidah Khuthairi leans forward in her seat, eager to hear everything that the instructor, Zulkefli Che Ya, is saying. Seated next to the instructor and also listening attentively is Rashidah's father, Khuthairi Abdul Rahman. Father and daughter are seated in a Boeing 777-200 simulator as participants of our MH Flight Simulator Experience, which until now, was reserved for professional pilots.
This unique programme not only gives you the chance to visit a flight deck (albeit a simulated one) but also, to experience the feel of flying an aircraft. Zulkefli, who is also a Simulator Engineer with Malaysia Airline, explains that there are various steps involved but to avoid confusing participants, only some general demonstrations for taking off and landing are shown.
During a simulated flight, participants will be guided on how to take off and land the plane. The instructor sits behind the captain's seat, where he can access a built in system that lets him ‘create' a number of flight conditions. If they are applicable and available, these include weather change (snow or rain), turbulence and engine failure. "Everything you see in the simulator is exactly the same as in the actual aircraft, including all the buttons, levers and display units," says Zulkefli.
Malaysia Airlines owns six aircraft simulators : B747-400, B777-200, A330-300, two units of B737-400 and a Fokker 50. Most of these advanced Full Flight Simulators are equipped with full motion system, a high-quality daylight visual system and a high degree of realism to create a flying experience that's as close to the real thing as possible.
Of course, our pilots go through a much more stringent training that what is shown during the simulator programme. "Pilots are required to attend a three-day proficiency check every half-yearly, as part of DCA's (Department of Civil Aviation) requirements," says Captain Edward Lewis, who's been flying for 25 years and teaching for seven. Every test presents a different set of challenges. "For example, this second half of the year, we test them on a five hour Perth to KL route. Along the way, we'll simulate all types of situations that require quick decision-making," Captain Lewis reveals.
For Rashidah and Khuthairi, the chance to experience the simulated flight deck environment is almost too good to be true.
"I was awed by the magnitude of the control area as it looks much smaller in movies or TV," says Rashidah, adding that she never thought a simulator would look so real. For Khuthairi, it has heightened his admiration for pilots. "This has shown me being a pilot isn't easy at all," he says. "I'd recommend corporate people, especially frequent flyers, to experience for themselves what it's like to be behind the ‘wheels'."

除了 limitations，procedures 和 memory item emergency procedures 之外，其它的东西都可以参考书本。因为 know where to refer is better than know everything。副机师身是飞机上第二个掌权的人，很多时候会遇到很 senior 的机长或者座舱长 (In flight supervisor) 跟著旧 procedure 做事情，身为公司里的 junior 成员，要纠正他们单单依靠嘴巴讲他们是听不进去的。这时候我会假装记忆力差，说：“If I remember correctly, the book says......” 然后把书摆出来读一读，过后把书 pass 给他们看。
Landing gear 的灯在down and lock (完全伸展)的时候就会只亮着绿色。在伸展/回收的当中，就会只亮红灯。当 landing gear 完全回收起来的时候是没有灯亮着。在伸展 landing gear 的时候，如果其中一个的灯只保持在红灯那么就是说那个轮子没有 down and lock。在还没决定做 go around 之前，机师通常会 recycle landing gear 一次，以确定不是 sensor/indication 的问题。如果 recycle 后还是只有红灯，那么机师就会 go around。如果天气的能见度很高，机师会在 go around 之前不回收 landing gear 然后在跑道上空飞过，同时叫 tower 观察飞机的轮子是否有下来。
It's been a pipe dream for 30 years but now the world's first fully available flying car is set to hit the roads next year.
Ever since the Back to the Future movies lit up our screens in the 80s, designers have dreamt of an automobile that could take to the skies at the push of a button.
And now qualified pilots can order their very own Terrafugia Transition 'roadable' plane for just £127,000, with delivery planned for late next year.
The Terrafugia Transition 'roadable' plane can be kept at home, with wings folded up, in your garage
The 'light-sport airplane' promises to bring more 'flexibility and convenience to your flying'.
The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 27.5ft when extended, has an airborne range of 460 miles and can cruise at 115mph.
Back on terra firma, it is capable of travelling at 'highway speeds' in car mode.
Fuelling the 19ft long plane couldn't be simpler - you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up with unleaded.
It is powered by a 100 hp, Rotax 912S, four-stroke engine.
Action! The 19-foot-long plane has an airborne range of 460 miles and can cruise at 115mph
A spokeswoman for designers Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA, said: ‘You can keep your Transition in your garage.
‘Then you simply drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land, convert and drive directly to your destination.
‘You'll always be ready to drive or fly.’
A series of simple commands made from the cockpit convert the white craft from plane to car and vice versa.
But the wings only fold out if the correct key code is entered by someone with a pilot's licence.
Simple: The 'roadable' plane can be filled up at the local petrol station with unleaded
Unlike many 'flying car' concepts which use thrusters to take off vertically, the Transition needs a short runway to take to the air.
The spokeswoman added: ‘Never let questionable weather cancel or endanger your trip again.
‘You can simply divert and continue on the ground until the weather clears.’
You can secure your very own Transition aeroplane by simply paying a deposit of £6,500.
Ease: Pilots will be able to drive to the local airport, take off and then fly for up to 460 miles (740 km)
The firm's website, 'Terrafugia.com', says of prospective owners: ‘Your deposit doesn't just reserve your very own roadable airplane, it gives us proof that today's pilot community is ready for this dream to finally become reality.
‘There's no risk to you - only the chance to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.
‘Production schedules are filling up quickly.’
以上的黑箱资料是普通和我各人所懂得资料. 世面上有其他黑箱可能有不一样的 storage,就比如在这网站提到的黑箱拥有不一样的 storage. "The memory boards have enough digital storage space to accommodate two hours of audio data for CVRs and 25 hours of flight data for FDRs."
