Kelana Jaya (15 September 2011) : Malaysia Airlines honoured 25 cabin staff who ‘graduated’ today at the Malaysia Airlines Academy in Kelana Jaya for mastering conversational Arabic language. The foreign language competency development is in line with the national carrier’s ongoing cabin crew service enhancement.
All 25 cabin crew graduates had undergone 100 training hours to complete the Advanced Elementary level, which is the continuation of the Elementary level that they completed last year. For the Advanced Elementary level, the training still emphasized on speaking skills using more complex vocabulary and sentence structure. The instructors for this Arabic course are Arab native speakers from ALDIWAN Arabic Language Center, Kuala Lumpur.
Following completion of the training, the graduates will be equipped with advance communication skills to interact with Arabic speaking passengers. They will also be rated in their ability to make announcements in Arabic, to ensure that they are competent to do this on Malaysia Airlines’ flights between Malaysia and the Middle East routes. To keep these skills constantly polished, the crew will be assigned on a regular basis throughout the year on routes such as between Kuala Lumpur – Jeddah, Dammam and Dubai.
We are looking for dynamic and highly motivated individuals to contribute to the growth of our airline. If you would like to apply for a position, please write in to the address listed on the right or email recruitment@malaysiaairlines.com.
Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) first Airbus A380 has entered the airframer's final assembly line in Toulouse.
The superjumbo jet, which entered the line on 7 June, will have its front, central and aft fuselage sections, wings and horizontal and vertical tails assembled at the first stage.
This will be followed by the installation of engines and tests on the aircraft's electric and hydraulic systems, mobile parts and landing gears. Final ground tests and first engine tests will take place after that, before the aircraft is flown to Hamburg for cabin completion and painting.
MAS, which has six A380s on order, has said it is due to receive its first in April 2012. The airline is likely to deploy the superjumbo jet to London, followed by Sydney and Melbourne.
Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) first Airbus A380 will take to the skies in April 2012 packed with 508 seats - 50 more than Qantas and second only to Lufthansa and Air France in maxing out the super-jumbo's capacity.
(That said, this is nowhere near the 853 passenger capacity on an A380 fitted with all-economy seats – and thankfully no airline has yet placed an order for the A380 in that 'sardine configuration').
Seating plans released today show eight first-class seats, 54 business-class, 26 in the new premium economy cabin and 420 seats for economy.
This will be the first premium economy service offered by MAS, and only the second on any A380 (after Qantas).
The layout also represents a cut in first-class seating from the current 12 in MAS' 747-400 down to eight.
Business class is up from 37 in the 747-400, but even with 54 biz benches this is still the least on any A380.
By comparison, Singapore Airlines has 60 business-class setas, Qantas 72 and Air France a massive 80.
MAS is clearly seeing a continued trend away from first-class travel into business class but plenty of scope for premium economy to appeal to budget-minded business travellers as well as some holiday-makers.
The configuration shows business and premium economy situated on the upper deck, first class on the lower deck and economy split over both decks, although with only a small number of cattle-class seats upstairs.
The first-class seats are designed as flat-bed suites with a 23 inch screen, guest seat and dining table. The business-class seats have a 75" pitch (against 80" for Qantas) in a 2-2-2 configuration with a 17 inch screen.
Mercedes-Benz dengan kerjasama Eurocopter membangunkan helikopter edisi khas VIP. Rekaan Mercedes-Benz EC145 menggabungkan kabin ‘high-end’ berdasarkan dalaman kereta Kelas-R. Warna dan bahan yang pelbagai akan tersedia untuk pembekal.

Eurocopter X3 hibrid ‘demonstrator’ sedang menjalani pusingan kedua ujian terbang di Perancis. Rekaan baru ini fokus untuk mengekalkan keupayaan pelbagai fungsi seperti ‘hover’, autorotation dan misi fleksibiliti. Helicopter X3 menggunapakai kerangka (airframe) Eurocopter Dauphin 365. Manakala sistem penggerak (propulsion system) terdiri dari 2 enjin turboshaft di mana kuasa telah dihasilkan oleh 5 bilah rotor utama dan 2 kipas yang dipasang di sayap pesawat.
Eurocopter Dauphin AS365 yang dimiliki oleh Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia
Konsep hibrid ini telah menghasilkan sistem pengangkutan lebih canggih pada kuasa kelajuan maksima, menjadikan sebuah pesawat berkuasa ‘turboprop’ dan membolehkan helikopter memiliki kemampuan penuh untuk ‘hover’ (melayang-layang). Aplikasi ini disesuaikan dengan kos operasi, tempoh penerbangan dan kejayaan sesuatu misi selaras dengan kelajuan maksima.
Objektif ujian terbang pusingan pertama pada November 2010 di Perancis telah tercapai iaitu kelajuan 180 knot bersamaan 333 km per jam. Kelajuan biasa sebuah helicopter ialah sekitar 130 knot. Harapan untuk ujian terbang pusingan kedua ialah untuk mengatasi kelajuan terbang pada 220+ knot. Jurutera dan juruterbang ujian terbang mengatakan X3 beraksi dengan baik (kestabilan dan kawalan) selari dengan penilaian ketika melakukan simulasi.
Pencapaian ketika ujian terbang pusingan pertama :
Kelajuan (cruise speed) – 180 knot
Sudut pusingan (bank angle) - 600
Altitude – 12,500 kaki bersamaan 3,810 meter
Bagi helikopter jenis Sikorsky X2 pula, selama 25 bulan telah diperuntukkan untuk mereka dan menjadikan rekaan ini sebagai realiti. X2 direka untuk mengurangkan gegaran, kelajuan maksimum 260 knot, beban kerja rendah (1 juruterbang) dan kurang bunyi.

Alhamdulillah, jika sebelum ini saya ada berbicara tentang tugas-tugas sebagai Jurutera Penyelenggaraan Pesawat (AME/LAME) kali ini saya hanya berkongsi gambar-gambar 'LAME jobscobe'.
Di bawah ini adalah 'heavy maintenance' ke atas pesawat jenis Eurocopter Super Puma.

Sebaik sahaja pesawat mendarat, kumpulan ‘engineer' akan memainkan peranan dalam mengambil alih urusan pemeriksaan ‘transit’. Ini meliputi pemeriksaan minyak enjin pesawat, tayar dan ‘landing gear’; memeriksa bahagian luar badan pesawat jika terdapat sebarang kerosakan dan mengesahkan sebarang masalah yang dilaporkan oleh juruterbang. Jurutera juga berperanan mengira bahan bakar dan menetapkan jumlah bahan bakar yang diperlukan oleh pesawat untuk penerbangan berikutnya. Kebiasaannya, rutin ini memakan masa kurang 25 minit sebelum pesawat dibenarkan meneruskan penerbangan.

Jurutera juga berperanan mengira bahan bakar dan menetapkan jumlah bahan bakar yang diperlukan oleh pesawat untuk penerbangan berikutnya. Kebiasaannya, rutin ini memakan masa kurang 25 minit sebelum pesawat dibenarkan meneruskan penerbangan.
Kalau nak kenal 'landing gear', inilah makhluk yg bernama 'landing gear'
(Boeing 747 Air Atlanta & penulis)
Apabila pesawat kembali ke ‘home base’ pada waktu malam, kerja penyelenggaraan yang ‘seronok’ akan bermula. Di samping meneliti buku log (teknikal) yang direkod oleh juruterbang terhadap mana-mana kerosakan yang dilaporkan, jurutera pesawat juga akan mengendalikan penyelenggaraan ‘kasar’.
Rutin sebagai AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) - Inspect the turbine engine of aircraft
Setiap komponen pesawat mempunyai jadual penyelenggaraan berdasarkan jam penerbangan atau pendaratan yang dicatat. Kerja kejuruteraan adalah pekerjaan yang lasak dan ‘kotor’, jurutera pesawat selalu bergelumang dengan cuaca panas terik.
Penggantian penapis hidraulik, minyak pelincir ‘landing gear’, menukar unit bantuan kuasa (auxiliary power unit), air hujan, servis ‘flap’ dan memeriksa tayar pesawat adalah antara sebahagian skop tugas jurutera pesawat terbang.
Kebanyakan syarikat penerbangan kini sudah mengguna pakai pesawat jenis Airbus (moden dan canggih), namun masih ada yang mengguna khidmat pesawat jenis Boeing 737. Boeing 737 masih menggunakan tangki sisa buang. Kumpulan ‘engineer' seringkali dipanggil untuk membuang bekas sabun, cawan dan telefon bimbit yang menjadi ‘mangsa’. ‘Mencabar’ kan tugas jurutera pesawat? Haha..
Pesawat jenis Boeing yang dimiliki oleh TUDM (Boeing 737)
Pesawat jenis Airbus (A380 milik AirFrance).
Dapatkah anda bezakan pesawat jenis Boeing dan Airbus?
Sudah pasti ada juga tugas yang menarik bagi ‘aircraft maintenance engineer’. Antaranya adalah penggunaan ‘endoskop’. Dengan menggunakan alat optic berteknologi tinggi dipanggil ‘borescope’, jurutera akan memeriksa bahagian dan retakan yang tidak dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar untuk mencari kerosakan dalaman bilah enjin pesawat (internal engine blades) – prosedur terpenting yang memakan masa selama dua hingga tiga jam.
Bagi memastikan kabin penumpang sentiasa selamat, jurutera akan memeriksa alat pemadam api dan jaket keselamatan supaya dalam keadaan baik.

Sementara penyelenggaraan ringan pesawat (“E-checks”) dijalankan di luar hangar, sekumpulan jurutera ‘expert’ mengendaliakn penyelenggaraan berat ke atas pesawat (“C-checks”).
Inilah dia 'hangar'. Jangan tersilap dgn 'hanger' baju ya
(outside of MIAT hangar)
Inside of MIAT hangar
Untuk pesawat kelihatan sentiasa ‘bersih’, pesawat akan ‘dimandikan’. Hehehe. Pesawat akan dibasuh dan digilap (polish) mengikut jadual. Proses memandikan pesawat mengambil masa lebih kurang dua jam. Sementara ‘polish’ pesawat pula memakan masa sehingga tiga hari. Wah, biar betul? Sebenarnya, pembersihan pesawat sangat penting bagi membuang debu dan bahan-bahan yang tidak diperlukan (sampah). Ianya penting dalam mengurangkan daya geseran pesawat sewaktu terbang dan mengurangkan pembakaran bahan bakar, macam kereta gak.
Cuba lihat 'pilot' tu buat apa?
Selain itu, antara komponen terpenting yang mesti sentiasa diperiksa adalah tayar pesawat. Tayar memainkan peranan penting terutamanya sewaktu berlepas dan mendarat – penyelenggaraan mengikut prosedur perlu bagi memastikan penerbangan selamat. Biasanya tayar akan diperiksa dari segi koyak atau lusuh. Sekiranya tayar didapati berada dalam keadaan tidak memuaskan, roda pesawat akan ditanggalkan dan dihantar ke kedai tayar.

Hangar milik Asia Pacific Flight Training, Pengkalan Chepa
Di sini, tayar akan melalui beberapa proses: Pertama, tayar akan dipisahkan daripada habnya menggunakan mesin. Ha, mesin ini mungkin anda boleh lihat di kedai tayar kereta sebab ‘function’nya sama. Cuma beza pada saiz dan lebih ‘complicated’. Selepas itu, ujian dilakukan untuk mencari punca masalah.
‘Crack’!
Proses ini penting, jika terdapat garis retak hab tidak selamat digunakan lagi. Selesai sahaja proses ini, bearing akan disapu gris dan tayar baru dipasangkan. Sebelum ianya sedia diguna, tayar akan diisi dengan gas ‘nitrogen’ dan diperiksa sekali lagi. Kini gas 'nitrogen’ boleh diguna pakai untuk kereta. Penggunaan gas ‘nitrogen’ menjimatkan petrol kereta dan selesa untuk pemanduan.
‘Crack’!
Salah satu tugas LAME : Do the procedure of Weight & Balance of aircraft
(Pesawat jenis Cessna 170)
Bateri pesawat juga perlu sentiasa dicas, servis dan baik pulih (overhaul). Seperti juga bateri ‘phone’ kita yang perlu dicas penuh sebelum guna. Servis bateri pesawat dengan betul amat penting dalam menjamin daya tahan bateri, juga untuk membekalkan kuasa elektrik kecemasan yang cukup sewaktu penerbangan. Sewaktu penerbangan, tenaga terhasil oleh enjin (bateri akan ‘recharge’) di bawah kokpit pesawat.
Kokpit pesawat jenis Boeing 767
Sebenarnya kerjaya sebagai ‘aircraft maintenance engineer' tidaklah sehebat ‘pilot’. Namun, ianya membawa kepuasan kepada individu yang menghayati budaya kerja sebagai ‘Aircraft Maintenance Crew'.
