Simulator Training




MAS 737-400 Simulator (SIM 2)
Before we get our hands on the real aircraft every pilots need to be trained on the simulator and what are we trained here? well every pilots are expected to be competent when handling the aircraft through normal flight and when some serious shit happens or in other word,emergencies.Initially we will be doing our Flight Management System Trainer (FMST) for 4 sessions and each sessions is 4 hours (2 hours each,you and your partner) after that we will be going through FBS Fixed Based Simulator for another 4 sessions and then the real funs begins,the FFS (Full Flight Simulator) where we will have full motions and a hell lot of emergencies to handle.The FFS is a total of 11 Sessions and after that there will be the CofT (Certificate Of Test) this is like an exam where we must fly from KUL to JHB and carry out any emergencies given by the Instructor.



Briefing Room 737-400,This is where we do our pre and post flight briefing,we will discuss about our simulator session with the instructor.After every session,instructor will let you know whether you passed or failed your session..In the picture is my Sim Partner




Need Power???

Ever wonder how does pilot control the speed of an aircraft,well as shown in the picture that is the control stand.As you guys may already know that the 737-400 have 2 engines,if you seat at the pilot's seat you will have your number 1 engine on the left and number 2 on your right,that is what the numbers in the picture means if you push forward on the number 1 thrust lever it will only power the left engine and you will be flying side ways,we surely don't want that.
Maybe some will wonder what is the red light,well the red light is an indication of your parking brake as in handbrake in your car,when the light is illuminated that means that the parking brake is on or set
