love of flying

when i went to skypark in subang malaysia this morning to pick up my daughter, I came across the advertisement for airadventureflying advertisement. I still remember some of the facts of the ads, rm38,000 for 8 weeks training to be a pilot.

I did not pay much attention,  until I get home and opened the local paper. There was a write up on the company, or rather I am sure whether it is a company of a single individual running the show.

Being able to earn a living by doing what you love is great. That is what Andreas, the name of the pilot, is doing right now. However flying is expensive, the fuel, the aircraft, the fees to pay to the flying instructor is expensive. However if you can effort the cash and the time, the rewards can be satisfying.

PARIS: Embraer hikes 20-year forecast for regional jets

Regional jet is getting more popular and it is expected that the demand will be higher. The short article talks about it. 

Embraer has raised its forecast for regional jets by 5% to 7,225 deliveries in the 30- to 120-seat sector over the next 20 years.


This will nearly double the global fleet to 8,060 aircraft in 2030. Of the 7,225 new deliveries, more than half – a total of 3,835 – will be for growth while the remainder will replace older jets.


Some 20% of the current fleet will still be operating in 2030.


The airframer’s outlook, released during the Paris air show, reflects a recovery in the industry that is “much faster than expected”, said Embraer (chalet B351).


It predicts demand for 4,125 commercial jets with 91-120 seats and 2,670 for jets with 61-90 seats.


While acknowledging that the market for 50-seat jets has been “impacted” by high fuel costs and poorer yields, Embraer is upbeat over the prospects for this category.


“The aircraft are still essential to feed hubs in the USA and will progressively help to develop regional aviation in other regions,” it said, identifying Latin America, former Soviet states and Africa as candidates.


In the smallest category, 30-60 seats, Embraer foresees a need for only 15 jets for the decade 2011-20 but a surge to 415 in the following 10 years spanning 2021-30.


One-third of all deliveries will go to North America. Europe will take another 23% and China – the fastest-developing market, according to Embraer – will take 13%.

And some more traffic circuits

by on August 21st, 2011 at 12:43 am
Posted In: Uncategorized

Reading his blog, I could sense the excitement of the young pilot going through the daily activities and working his way to earn enough experience to earn his license.


.. I was so happy last week. At the end of the week I was scheduled with my my new instructor. And with the new instructor I got a new airplane, a Cessna.  From now I will be flying a Cessna 172R built in the end of the 90′s. I had never flown such a new airplane before, as the Cessnas I had flown were from the 70′s. This Cessna has an engine with fuel injection, so again something new to me, but I have already become accustomed with it.


POSTED 2 AUG 2011


Last Thursday and Friday were really nice and sunny, so I used them to fly solo touch-and-goes and become more familiar with the new Cessna. On Thursday I flew a bit with the instructor, but Friday I was “ridin’ solo”. The circuits were nothing unusual except for an incident, where a Cessna made 2 touch-and-goes on the opposite runway without stating anything or answering on the radio. Luckily my instructor was watching my flight from the ground and spotted the traffic on time, so we didn’t come too close. However the second time he came round I was on final, so a go-around had to be made. This woke me up a bit, but fortunately it all ended well as I’m here writing this blog


My normal schedule was interrupted since last Friday. It has been raining heavily and the winds have been too strong to fly. According to the weather reports, we were having a cyclon overhead us, so maybe I’ll get to fly on the weekend, we’ll see. I still have a bunch of solo traffic circuits to fly so I can’t wait for the nice weather to return, however I’ll be back writing if it keeps on raining
