The student there now finishes single engine flying hours faster than expected.. Well let say all the eagle is grounded, there are still the tobago and the new cirrus.. But do you think that all the eagle will be grounded? There are 10 eagle..- 1 = 9.. I remind u that all of the aircraft in IT&S are under constant maintainance..If DCA inspectors found problems on the other 9 eagle too, do u think they will find the problem on all the eagles? you will only have delays when trying to finish ur twin engine flying hours.. Cause IT&S only have 2 piper seneca

Guyz,
Lets pray ‘mamak’ can recover soon and back flying. Eagle fleet leased from CTRM and the maintenance is under them. I believe it is sub contracted to Executive Jets Maintenance org. Few months back Eagle crash in Kluang Air Base. Capt Rais was flying it. Both inst and student safe with minor cuts over body. Again today the Eagle crash in Ipoh. No casualty but inst quiet serious. Student have only broken jaw only and some minor cuts.
Crash 1 happen during take off in Kluang and engine lost power during climb upwind. Instructor lower attitude and maneuvered the aircraft and put it in confined area without damaging any house in that taman. Aircraft was maneuvered as such impact more towards to instructor.
Crash 2 in ipoh was during EFATO drill. Inst called for Fans Stop and then no call out for climbing away. I believe during climb out, engine surged and then quite. Instructor aimed to that conner lot house and put the aircraft nicely in that confined area without damaging the house. Again instructor absorb the crash impact and safe the student life.
Both crash have similarity like, eagle aircraft, hit tree before crash in confined area without hitting or damaging any of the houses in the taman and both crash have student walk away alive and instructor absorb the impact.
Me with little experience, I can say that the instructor’s action have saved more live and also reduce the damages on the ground. Instructors action also have saved the students life.
Mamak … i salute you beb.

5s factors to be consider for selection of suitable off airport landing site are:
Shape, Size, Slope, Surface, Surroundings
determine shape of selected area for force landing so that you can position your self.
determine size of selected area so that you can be prepare
choose upslope if possible and avoid downslope
to determine surface condition, soft, hard, bushy or clear land
surroundings - populated, thick jungle and so on.
let say along Kuah town to airport. Its east of airfield. along the road leading to pdg mat sirat, left side of road towards coast is the most suitable place to force land. Right of road not so suitable coz its rubber plantation. After the hill east of airfield, you may force land anywhere you one coz its paddy field.
West of airfield, if you are operating between burau bay to airfield, just land along the cost line. Even you may force land on pady field.
Datai andaman, just land on golf course or even beach side.
North –mmmm its kilim and swampy. try glide to tj rhu beach and land there.
