So You Wanna Be A Pilot?

.
.
This is my story…

What is pilot? The first time, I can remember looking at pilot is when I was about 8 years old,
my uncle from Sabah arrived at Subang Airport.
While waiting for him to come out of the arrival area, I saw 2 people walking side by side with hat on their head wearing blazer with shiny gold lines on the sleeves.
I said to my mother, “Umi, tengok tu ada ketua askar”.
My mother corrected me and said that they are pilots not “ketua askar”.
She explains that they are the “driver” of the aeroplane. That’s the first time I knew, what is pilot.. “aeroplane driver”. As time goes by, when I was in highschool in Form 3,
my mother went to US for her medical operation, that’s the time I decided that I am kind of like to be a pilot after I saw pilots at KLIA.
They walk and dress properly and looking very smart with cap and blazer, they caught my eye thinking that their job must be joyful. And when my mother came back from the US, she represented me with 2 aircraft models, B747 and B777 that she bought during her visit to Boeing factory after her operation. I became more interested to become a pilot and thinking that maybe I can become a pilot someday.

The most important moment in my life was the day I decided to live my life as a pilot.
It happened before my first flight. It was from KLIA to Nagoya, Japan, Sunday night at 235 hours. That was my trip for a month of Hippo Family’s Homestay Programme at my penpal’s house.
My family members were not familiar traveling using aircraft, especially on my mother side. In fact, they haven’t board any aircraft before me.
When they heard about the news that I was going to Japan, one of my auntie said to me 2-3 weeks earlier, that it is very dangerous to fly because there are many air accidents happened. She highlighted the air crush in Sarawak few years earlier where a helicopter crushed into the rain forest, all the passenger and captain were found dead. She told me how terrified the condition of the corps. That thing could happen to me she said.
She also said that I better cancel the trip for my own safety. After all, that was only homestay it’s not like a thing I must do she told more. My mother doesn’t know about this because she might be seduced by my auntie’s word and cancel the trip. So, I keep it as a secret between us. At that time, the story she told me doesn’t bother me because I was really happy to go oversea for the first time of my life. The day I went to KLIA for my flight, I wait in the waiting lounge looking at the aircraft that I will board.

At that moment, my aunt’s story really haunts me. I was thinking of the movie Final Destination, where the aircraft blow and I was stuck in the middle explosion. I was thinking of going back home instead of board the aircraft and went to Japan. I really felt that aircraft was much more unsafe because that flight was at night – maybe the pilots don’t see other aircraft flying (that’s what on my mind). The worst thing was that I thought to quit my ambition to become a pilot.
All I thought was “I won’t go in. I don’t want to die like this”.
There was no one to talk to because most of the passenger is Japanese. I was so worried all by myself. And then the stewardess called for passenger to board the aircraft. Ofcourse I board the aircraft, if went back home and cancel the flight, I’ll waste the ticket that had been paid for me. My mother surely got angry, it is much better to take the risk and board the aircraft rather than got scold by my mother. That’s the worst thing ever. When I board the aircraft, I put my bag on my seat and I wait near the entrance, I was waiting for the pilot to enter the aircraft. I was still worry to fly in that aircraft. The stewardess tries to comfort me but it wasn’t enough, I stood still waiting for the pilots. When the pilots enter the door,
I go straight to one of them and ask him
“Is this aircraft safe to fly?”
“Will it explode in the sky?”
“Will it fall down during flight?”.
He asked me instead “Is this your first time?”.
“Yes” I replied.
He then told me this
“I fly this thing with full focus and I trained well,
your life are much more important to me than mine.
You’ll arrive safely, enjoy the flight”.



Suddenly my aunt’s horror story fade away and I feel so safe for the rest of the flight – I sleep most of the time. Thanks to that pilot. Maybe for others it was just a flight but for me that flight made me think that a job as a pilot is no ordinary job. The pilot was so calm even though I scratch his feeling by asking him stupid questions. He can even ignores me and ask the flight attendants to take care of me. Instead of doing that, he answers my questions. Showing that what he said comes form his heart, not a standard pilot-passenger guidebook phrases. But since then, I am very clear about my goal and there’s nothing hard enough to make me let go of my ambition as a pilot. I really look up to pilot with respect and I want to get in their shoes. My path to be a pilot.

As I get much more mature, I look the career of a pilot as something that is beyond career. Pilot is a lifestyle and becoming a pilot is not just passion, it is also involving high responsibilities and disciplines. So, I intended to be not just a pilot but a pilot with aerospace engineering knowledge. I want o become a pilot that have flying skills and also technical knowledge of aircraft and really understand the aircraft inside out. That’s the standard that I have for myself to become a pilot. For three years I devoted myself to study about aerospace.

The fundamentals of flying, the aerodynamics of aircraft, the aircraft maintenance and the aircraft systems are some of the subjects that I studied during my Diploma in Aerospace Mechanical Engineering back in UiTM Pulau Pinang (Dec 2005 – Nov 2008). Those precious 3 year paid off with crucial knowledge of aerospace engineering especially involving aircraft. Thus, now I am well prepared to be a pilot and I believe that it is the right time for me to become a pilot.

Beside knowledge, interpersonal skills and discipline also a requirement to become a pilot. For that reasons, I become an active student when I was studying diploma. I join student associations to learn to become a much more discipline person with interpersonal skills.


Through Majlis Perwakilan Komander Kesatria (MPKK) I earn discipline, the para-military association provide training such as marching and physical endurance. I earn discipline life through weekly and monthly trainings. I knew the important of time management, the responsibility I have for each duty given. Thus, working in a team as a leader or follower is a norm for me. I have conducted many activities and programmes when I was in Majlis Perwakilan Komander Kesatria such as Seminar on Organizing Association and Interpersonal Skill Seminar.

In class, I manage to come out with the idea to design own model aircraft base on the knowledge that I had learn during lectures. It’s not in the syllable to have such project, but for me, in order to really understand how aircraft fly, I must build one and learn from it.


So, I form a group of friends with the guidance of my Head of Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Programme – Mr. Iswadi. We manage to build and fly a model aircraft. The person in red is Mr. Iswadi.



I was given the honor to fly it among my friends since my ambition is to be a pilot. There were many hiccups and problems before the aircraft can fly smoothly. 6 times the aircraft had fall, crash and also burned. But, the effort to rebuild and redesign the aircraft was so valuable to me, I learn that it was a big responsibility to fly an aircraft. There’s no room for mistake. Much more than that, I learn the responsibilities that I had when I am operating the aircraft. I become much more understand what a pilot carry on their shoulders, it’s not the epaulette rank but the responsibilities the pilot have to take.



My basic knowledge about aviation is stronger since I met a flight engineer that happens to be my friend’s dad. He is Mr. Baharuddin a Flight Engineer of Transmile with more than 30 years of flying experiences. As much as I want to know about pilot, he thought me the fundamental skills and the theories of flying when ever I came to his house. With that, I bear in my mind that knowledge he gave me. He gave me the big picture of a pilot’s lifestyle, the working schedule, the responsibilities and the risks. It made me much more understand what pilot really means. Sadly, he refuses to let his picture in this entry because he doesn’t want it to be publish on the web.

I did all of these things to ensure that I am well prepared to become not just pilot but a very good high standard pilot. Even though it took me few years but it was worth enough for me since I become a better person. A person with much more knowledge and well prepared to become a pilot. The best one I hope. For now, even though I am not attending any flying school. The learning process is still on going, my passion to become a pilot always opens a wide view for me to learn to become a pilot. Since I graduated my diploma level in November 2008, I read few books on how to get Commercial Pilot License. Even if I can’t afford to buy those books, I borrowed them at a nearby library. I believe that if there a will there will always a way to gain knowledge before I become a pilot.

Sometime people ask me, “Why do you want to be pilot?” "Why don't you go for pilot after SPM?"“Isn’t it wasting your time studying engineering” I answer them. I do everything with my pride. Pilot is my ambition, a job dedicated for people that have passion to fly, people with responsibility at heart, people who have discipline and self control. People who put their reputation to the ultimate challenge. I fit those criteria, I wanna go for pilot. I want to become the best pilot I could, so I have to really be prepared before I study as cadet pilot. If anything goes wrong, my pride is the price, I’ll lose them. I don’t want that to happen, my pride is the quality to be respect by other peoples. If I become pilot with lack of knowledge, I had crushed my reputation and pride. That’s the reason, I studied aerospace engineering earlier before I become a pilot. It’s not wasting time because the knowledge is useful for all my life time as pilot. I made them understand this noble career. Fly with pride.

The first thing to do when I knew I wanted to become a pilot is that I asked myself “Am I eligible to be a pilot?” “Do I qualify to wear the white uniform and the epaulette on my shoulder?” I search down through the internet and knew about a website that provide with information to become a pilot. With forums provided, I spoke to pilots and cadet pilots on the topics of “How can I become a pilot?”. They all helped me a lot and generously share their information and teach me. First of all, I sent letter to Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), Putrajaya asking them whether I can study as cadet pilot in local flying academy or not. Few weeks after, they told me through formal letter saying that I was granted the permission to study in flying academy since my SPM result meets DCA standard. Then, I went for medical check ups. There are stages of check up to be done. The Visibility Test, Physical Test, x-ray, Audio Test, Electrocardiogram (ECG) Test and Blood Test. The time when the doctor gave me the tests result.

He said that, for most of the test I’m doing well but the ECG test was bad because my heart beat is higher than the normal heart beat and it will go higher if I am flying. Too bad he said to me while giving me a piece of paper, I feel so sad about it hearing that my ambition is over before it even begin. Thinking that the paper was bill I walk toward the room’s door. I almost cry, my eye were red holding on my tears from coming off. But then, the doctor said, why don’t you look at that paper. I stopped and read it , and I began to smile. It was not bill but certificate saying that I passed all of those medical checks up tests. The doctor certified me as an eligible person to become a pilot. He was then smile and laugh at me, saying that I must be tougher to become pilot. With that certificate surely I am happy, forget the red eye. I will be a pilot.

The next thing is to apply for cadet pilot programme. And AirAsia provide such a unique and interesting chance for me to become a pilot. This is another positive step I have taken to go for pilot as my career. I walk the talk. I done all the things I could to realize my ambition and I tried and still trying my best to become a pilot. I hope my effort is impressive enough so that it can lead me to my successful life as a pilot. AirAsia here I come!! I wanna be your pilot !!!

Menunggu yang tak tau

Sekarang ni keje aku saban hari ialah bangun pagi lepas subuh, gosok2 baju seluar.. tido balik. kol 8.45pagi guling2 depan tv tengok la ape2 cite yang ada.. pastu dekat kol 10 mandi.. 10.30 g keje..

sampai cni je yang aku rasa nak tulis.. k la bye..

Keje ku kini..

.
.
Ahad (1/3/2009)
Selepas dah interview kerja kat SYDNEY OPTICS ni bulan dua aritu.. Aku pon datang la bekerja pada hari ini. Sydney Optics ni dekat jer dengan rumah aku, cuma beberapa puluh meter jer.. aku datang keje jalan kaki.

Mula-mula kerja aku kena sapu sampah, kemas-kemas, mop lantai.. Next senior staf ajar aku kira cermin mata yang ada dalam kedai tu.. Kena kira ikut brang, pastu kena kira frame dengan sunglasses.. Lama gler nak kira.. dekat-dekat sejam la jugak.. Roughly ada 1600 lebeh cemin mata dalam kedai tu yang on display la.. dalam stok dia tak tau la brape sebab dia tak suruh kira pon..

First day ni, senior staf pon x ajar lagi camne nak gune mesin-mesin optic kat kedai tu.. bagus jugak, tak payah nak ingat banyak-banyak.. The rest of the day, tunggu costumer datang.. Tunggu jer la.. Ni la part yang paling aku tak suka pasal keje nih.. Menunggu.. Bosan gler.. duduk jer kat tepi display table tu..

Sesekali datang la costumer, cume perlu tanya ape dia nak and then suggestkan produk yang sesuai.. camtu jer.. kalo costumer tu nak beli cermin mata, suggest je la brand ape yang okay, pattern ape yang dia nak.. bagi dia test2 pastu kalo dia nak wat cermin skali, pass costumer tu kat Martin (optician).. dia akan buat la cermin tu..

pastu tunggu lagi..
tunggu lagi..
lagi kena tunggu..
masih menunggu..

camtu la keje seorang salesman kat kedai optic..

keje dari 10.30am - 9.30pm.. ada dua hari cuti dalam seminggu.. Hari ni aku punyer turn cuti.. hari khamis ni pon aku cuti jugak..

aku bukannye tak suka kerja nih.. sebab senang sangat la yang buat aku tak suka.. tapi at time like this, taleh la nak ngada-ngada pilih keje plak kan.. ada keje pon dah rezeki.. baru dua hari keje, lebih 10 orang tanya "Ada tak keje kosong kat sini?" imagine je la kan bape ramai la yang takde keje..

Ape-ape hal pon, in next few weeks aku akan jadik salesman yang berjaya.. but another thing yang aku tak suka pasal kerja nih ialah aku keje dari pagi sampai malam.. xde masa nak msg dengan nurulain binti baharuddin.. sian kat ain.. Terima kasih sebab faham kenapa saya perlu bekerja..

GGIFA atau GIVEUP?

Rabu (25/2/2009)

Pagi ni aku bangun pagi dan pegi tenet kat library UiTM.. masuk forum FlyDamnIt.com..

bile baca-baca yang orang ramai-ramai post kat GGIFA tu,

ada orang ni kata yang yuran GGIFA dah bertambah..

berapa agaknya? aku dah pening.. Hmmmm..

Aku terus call GGIFA Bintulu.. then cakap dengan intake officer dia..

aku tanya dia

"Brape GGIFA punyer total fees yang baru?"

Dia bgtau keputusan untuk naikkan yuran tu baru je buat.. Lagi dia kata

"Semalam baru je meeting and confirm pasal kenaikan tu. Yuran GGIFA yang baru

ialah RM255000 SAHAJA

xtermasuk makan dan transport"

Berderau darah aku.. tibe-tibe aku jadi buntu takleh nak pikir..

Bape lagi duit yang nak kena carik ni..?

Campur makan dengan transport lebih kurang 15k-18k.. Terkejut giler..

Lebih Tergezut dari masa kat MARA

yang tengok borang oren banyak-banyak tu..

.

Aku pon cepat-cepat calculate financial yang ada.. Cash, Loan Bank, Loan MARA..

Deduct dengan total amount [RM255000 + RM18ooo (makan dengan transport)]

Xckup lagi 30k-40k.. hmm..

Aku sabar je la.. Umi tak tau lagi, apatah lagi papa..

Aku mesej bgtau kat ain..

Sambil tu terus la baca kat forum tu.. aku ada terbaca kat forum lain..

Ada flying school lain IT&S kat ipoh.. aku pon call and dia bagi info camni..

Deposit RM10k, total fees RM250k..

plus MARA leh bagi pinjaman RM250k..

tapi RM250 total fees tu tak termasuk makan dengan transport..

masuk makan dengan transport RM278000

Aku rasa baik la tukar gi sini jer, sebab MARA leh bagi RM250k..

xbanyak la nak duit nak kena carik compare to GGIFA

Aku jadi berbelah bahagi plus pening kepala nak pikir berenti GGIFA

nak mintak balik deposit, loan bank tak tau brape dapat,

tah bape puluh ribu lagi yang tak cukup.. pening kepala..

bincang-bincang dengan ain.. Aku pon decide nak kuar GGIFA

Bgtau ain, ain kata soh mintak balik deposit RM12740 yang dah bayar kat GGIFA dulu..

pastu call GGIFA Bintulu, kali ni aku cakap terus dengan wife Dato' Morshidi (owner GGIFA)

Bagitau dia masalah aku yang tak dapat nak bayar yuran penuh tu,

datin tu kata

"Yuran baru kita memang RM255000,

tapi you under MARA kan..

So all makan and transportation tu dah include"

maknenye, officer yang bagitau aku pagi tadi tu salah info la,

sebab dia tak bgtau maklumat penuh ni..

Datin tu kata lagi

"You apply dulu MARA, then bile dah confirm

dapat pinjaman MARA tu kita akan tolong you

increase jumlah pinjaman"

"Lagipun GGIFA sendiri memang tengah mintak

increase untuk pinjaman student kita.

You don't worry okay, tunggu mara approve dulu.."

Lega la bila tau camtu, aku pon tak jadik nak kuar GGIFA

Tengahari tu plak dapat call dari Cik Rahah, Agrobank punyer pegawai..

Dia bgtau yang petang ni dah leh datang bank dan sain agreement untuk loan RM50k..

Alhamdulillah, dapat jugak RM50k loan.. leh cover part of GGIFA fees..

So, petang tu pegi AgroBank..

.

Dah sain borang-borang sume, Cik Rahah xplain all the terms and conditions..

Some of the loan kena deduct due to insurance, wasiat, advance payement bulanan, macam-macam la.. Total deduction tu RM5060, banyak gler.. bank lain tak banyak camni pon.. hmm.. Takde choice lain since Agrobank jer yang willing to give out..

So I will get loan (RM50000-Rm5060)

So, papa sign la loan tu, as if papa yang pinjam..

but in reality, monthly installment dibayar guna loan tu sendiri

as long as I am still at GGIFA camtu la caranye nak bayar

monthly installment loan Agrobank tu..

petang tu balik rumah.. kurang la sket pening kepala..

pinjaman bank dah dapat, application mara dh buat..

Thanks to Ain so much, sebab bagi support!!

cuma tunggu untuk interview mara sahaja.

Lawatan ke AgroBank

.

.

Selasa (24/2/2009)

Pegi Agrobank untuk bukak akaun.. sebab ada buat pinjaman insani-i.. tadi pegi kat bank dia kata loan yang approve adalah 30k daripada 50k yang dipohon.. Tapi takpela nak buat camne, daripada takde langsung, kira okay la jugak that 30k tu.. Datang time lunch pejabat tengah break untuk lunch, tak sempat nak sign agreement..

Petang tu dalam kol 4 petang.. datang lagi sekali kat Agrobank.. Jumpa dengan Cik Rahah.. dia suggest another solution untuk increase jadik 50k.. Tapi dia akan bagi result esok whether boleh atau tak untuk increase loan jadik 50k.. Amek quite sometime jugak la nak discuss dengan Cik Rahah ni..

So, tak jadik sign agreement untuk 30k punyer loan insani-i.. kne tunggu esok punyer result.. harap-harap boleh la dapat 50k.. at least boleh cover part of ggifa yuran..

Apply Loan MARA

.

Hari Jumaat (20/2/2009), aku pegi ke pejabat MARA kat Kuala Lumpur
untuk anta Borang Application Loan MARA.. Pagi-pagi lagi
dah kuar umah dah.. as early as 7.30 pagi sebab tak nak sangkut dalam traffic..
Papa pegi ofis dulu untuk punch-in keje, alang-alang dah
pegi ofis papa terus je g fotostat dokumen-dokumen tambahan
yang nak tambah kat application Mara tu macam
sijil-sijil skola menengah, sijil-sijil diploma, surat kebenaran DCA..
dan cop pengesaha skali.. Akhirnya, dah dekat kol 9
baru la gerak pegi Kuala Lumpur..

Masa sampai Federal Highway tu, dah jam dah.. tapi takpe la,
bukan nak kejar ape-ape pon.. rileks je la.. Ni kan malaysia,
normal la jam kat highway..

Bila sampai kat Pejabat MARA, rupanya pejabat
Bahagian Penganjuran Pelajaran dah berpindah pergi tingkat 3..
So, terus pegi pejabat tu.. Hantar borang permohonan tu terus
kat pegawai yang in-charge..

Alangkah tergezutnye ati hamba..
bile tengok borang oren (borang nak mintak pinjaman MARA)
teramat la banyak nye depan meja pegawai tu.. ada 30 kotak penuh
borang oren tu.. bila aku serah borang tu kat pegawai dia check terus,
dia belek sehelai-sehelai tengok every single page.. dia kata
.
"borang ni ok, sume dokumen yang diperlukan pon ada..
hmm.. tunggu saya call you okay.. interview bulan April 2009, tapi date tak tau lagi"
.
aku tanya la kat pegawai tu
"Yang banyak-banyak ni sure pening nak pilih kan?"
.
dia reply
"memang pening, sebab ramai yang tau dah tak layak
tapi still nak apply jugak. Ramai yang result spm teruk
still apply.. Yang tu okay lagi sebab at least result U dia bagus.. tapi yang result U pon tak bagus tapi apply jugak,
tu yang pening.. paling pening, jenis yang result spm pn xok, result U pon tak ok.. tapi apply jugak..
banyak yang apply tapi tak banyak yang layak nak apply pon sebenarnyer..
application awak ni, tak sama kategori dengan dorang nih..
jangan risau k.."

Dia dah asingkan yang dapat dengan yang kena rejek..
Antara yang berjaya tu, sure la Ain..
sebab Ain dah terkeluar dari kategori result spm teruk dan
result diploma teruk.. hepi jugak untuk Ain..

lega sikit hati aku bile dah hantar Application loan MARA nih..

Placement Letter

o

o

yesterday i got the Placement Letter from Gulf Golden International Flying School (GGIFA)..

A bit tense la nak dapat surat tu.. Actually, I had

settled the deposit payment for enrolment about 3 week earlier,

that was before Chinese New Year.. the officer said that the letter will

be sent home ASAP.. most probably in 3-7 days.. okay fine..

the next week, still no letter.. I call GGIFA again, the officer said,

the letter is on the way.. another 1 more week past, still no letter..

GGIFA said be patient, maybe postage problem..

I had enough, too late la nak tunggu surat tu,

I sent letter to japan just take 8-10 days only.. Ni dalam Malaysia jer, please la.

Then I called directly to GGIFA admin office at bintulu (17/2/2009)..

then another new officer ni told me

"ooo, kita ada surat you kat sini.. nanti kita send okay"

dengan nada riang gembira jer.. murka la aku

"I've been asking for GGIFA to send that letter to me

since 3 weeks ago.. time nak mintak bayar,

suruh orang cepat-cepat, takut xde tempat la ape la..

time dah dapat duit camni plak ye.. "

then officer tu reply

"ok2, this morning saya hantar gune kurier ye"

boleh pon hantar surat tu.. sekejap je pon 1 hari je.. tapi perangai tu,

suka nak delay2, suka nak kena sound baru nak wat keje..

ape la dorang nih..

nak placement letter tu bukannye ape, bila dah ada surat tu

baru la boleh apply loan mara..

disebabkan GGIFA lmbat anta, dah terlepas dah interview Mara last Thursday..

sakitnye ati.. kalo dah ada surat tu sure cepat dapat..

xpela, newey surat tu pon dah ada, tomorrow leh proceed anta kat mara untuk apply loan.. lega la skit.. nak anta dan tunggu mara je la lepas ni..

Kisah semasa Cuti Mid Sem (3)

Jumaat (30/1/2009)

Lepas solat jumaat, pegi PTPTN sekali lagi.. Kali ni untuk amek Surat Pelepasan.. Tunggu komuter dari shah alam tu kol 3 ptg.. Ramainye orang yang naik komuter time-time macam ni.. Bukannye masa peak hour pon..

Bile dah sampai kat KL Sentral, trus g PTPTN OneStop.. Orang agak ramai la.. Tapi xla lama sangat menunggu turn.. Bila tengah orang tu nak pegi amek Surat Pelepasan dari almari dia, ada orang tegur aku.. Rupe-rupenye, Syed.. (Syed – classmate aerospacem echanical masa diploma dlu).. Dia baru nak apply surat pelepasan PTPTN.. Dia cite la yang dia sekarang dah masuk blaja kat MIAT-UniKL.. amek lesen EASA (lesen untuk jadik pembaiki kapal terbang).. Syed kata dlu kat penang masa diploma, aku la ajak ramai kengkawan untuk wat lesen EASA ni.. Beria2.. Aleh-aleh aku pon tak buat lesen tu jugak..

Aku explain la kat dia nape aku tak amek lesen tu.. Baru la dia faham waopon masih tak puas ati aku tak buat lesen tu..

Lepas tu aku terus balik umah..

Dalam perjalanan tu, aku terfikir.. Sepanjang dari aku skola menengah dulu sampai sekarang, brape orang yang aku pengaruh? Masa skola menengah dlu, aku pengaruh Faiz (Pe’e nama panggilan dia – kitorang blaja sekelas masa Form 3 kat SMK Seksyen 18 – dia dok sebelah aku).. Aku pengaruh Faiz untuk amek mechanical engineering.. sekarang ni, dia blaja kat UiTM Shah Alam amek degree mechanical (pure).. Lagi, masa skola kat Jasin, aku pengaruh 2 orang plak.. Hilal dan Qayyum.. dua2 ni masa skola dlu duduk sebaris dengan aku.. pengaruh sampai dorang ni sambung blaja kat ovesi pon amek mechanical engineering.. sorang kat UK sorang kat Kanada.. Lagi masa kat Matriks Perak dlu aku pengaruh kengkawan jadik pilot.. Sorang mamat cina ni sama-sama la dengan aku wat resume la, interview MAS la.. tapi last2 dia yang jadik cadet pilot MAS.. aku tak dapat nak jadik pilot sebab papa tak kasik blaja pilot.. Masa diploma la paling banyak pengaruh orang soh amek lesen EASA tu.. sekarang ni ada la 3 orang yang tengah blaja kat MIAT-UniKL tu.. termasuk la Syed..

Moral of the story, jangan suka pengaruh-pengaruh orang.. iar dorang buat keputusan sendiri.. Jadik sekarang ni, kalo ada sape-sape yang tanya aku ape kerjaya yang bersesuaian dengan dorang, aku tanya dorang ape yang korang btol-btol suka, baru la aku bgtau cara yang bersesuaian nak mengejar cita-cita.. Kalo la menjadik dorang ni, dalam bidang-bidang yang aku pengaruhi, takpe la.. tapi kalo dorang menyesal ke bila dah keje.. aku rasa bersalah sangat..

Ape-ape pon.. Korang buat la keputusan ape-ape pon, baik pasal kerjaya, baik pasal jodoh, baik pasal nak beli ais krim sekali pon, buat la keputusan yang 100% kehendak korang.. walopon dengar macam-macam pendapat orang sekeliling.. Tapi keputusan tu, korang yang punya 100%, sebabnya kalo korang buat keputusan sebab ikut cakap orang, kalo buruk padahnya, korang sendiri yang tanggung, orang yang korang ikut cakap dia tu tak rasa pon ape-ape..

Aku ingat aku ni leh jadik pakar motivasi la.. hehehehe

Kisah semasa Cuti Mid Sem (2)

Khamis (29/1/2009)

Hari ni, pagi-pagi pegi bank dengan umi.. Umi kuarkan ASB dia RM4000.. Nak cukupkan duit untuk bayar deposit kat GGIFA..

Pastu pergi GGIFA bayar deposit yuran tu.. Daripada sume RM12740 yuran tu ni la pecahannya.. RM7000 (Umi gadai barang kemas), RM2000 (MakCik Yan bagi), RM4000 (Umi gune duit ASB)..

Bila pegi bayar tu, orang tu kata yuran keseluruhan dah naik sebab harga minyak naik.. dari RM231740, sekarang dah jadik RM242k.. Tambah lagi RM10k.. Pening kepala.. Mana la nak dapat plak lagi RM10k ni.. Hmm..

Newey, pengajaran nya disini.. Lihat la betapa sayang nya mak kat kita.. Sanggup je kuarkan duit beribu untuk kita blaja.. Padahal blom tentu lagi aku nih blaja rerajin, blom tentu lagi aku nak senangkan dia bila dah keje.. tapi sebab sayang anak, brusaha sungguh-sungguh nak bagi jugak duit untuk blaja..

AKU SAYANG UMI SANGAT3..!!

Kisah semasa Cuti Mid Sem (1)

Rabu (28/1/2009)

Hari ni masih lagi cuti mid sem UiTM.. So, nak setelkan pasal penangguhan PTPTN dengan mohon Surat Pelepasan PTPTN. Awal pagi lagi aku dah bangun dah, kuar sekali dengan papa nak pergi kerja lebih kurang kol 7.30pg, papa drop kat Stesen Komuter Shah Alam.. Dari situ naik komuter pergi kat KL Sentral. Pejabat PTPTN OneStop ada kat KL Sentral sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu tapi baru minggu lepas aku tau. Convenience la sket PTPTN ada kat situ, tak payah la nak pergi kat Damansara tu.. Jauh, susah nak pergi, bas pon tak lalu kat situ apatah lagi kapal terbang mahupun helikopter.

Aku sampai je kat PTPTN tu kol 8.20pg, tak ramai orang.. Bagus2, seperti yang dijangkakan.. Sebenarnye aku tak suka berurusan dengan pejabat kerajaan, sebab selalu jer lembab, tak efisyen.. Tapi kat PTPTN ni bagus la, nampakla yang staf dia bekerja dengan cekap, buktinya, masa bekerja takdela yang bersembang, sume yang kerja kat kaunter muka serius je melayan pelanggan yang datang berurusan.. Harap-harap camtu la sentese dan di mana-mana pejabat kerajaan..

Pastu anta Borang Penangguhan dengan Surat Mohon Peepasan PTPTN.. Setel.. Orang tu kata dalam 3 hari surat tu akan siap, dia kata lagi, Jumaat kol 3.3.0ptg datang amek Surat Pelepasan.. Lepas tu aku terus balik umah.. Sampai umah dah kol 10pg..

Kalo ikut plan, arini nak pegi GGIFA bayar deposit yuran.. pastu call papa, papa kata ada kerja.. Kerja ape tah, time ni kan cuti sem, mana ada student..

Pada masa yang sama, spupu aku ni plak kata nak balik Kolej Jati arini, tapi satu barang pon tak kemas lagi.. (spupu aku ni blaja diploma kat uitm shah alam, tumpang duduk kat umah aku stiap kali ada cuti am atau cuti sem).. Alang-alang papa nak balik umah time lunch ni, nak kuar g GGIFA plak, bole la ikut skali nak anta dia kat kolej tu.. Leh plak ngada-ngada nak balik petang.. Kan dah bazir minyak keta nak ulang-alik, buang masa orang lagi nak kena tunggu dia bersiap-siap.. Dah tau nak balik, kemas la barang-barang tu siap-siap kemas-kemas.. Ni tak, bila dia rasa nak balik, baru la nak bgtau papa, baru la nak kemas-kemas.. Macam bos plak nak ikut cakap dia, nak tunggu dia..

Masa lunch tu lebih kurang kol 1.30ptg, papa balik umah, time tu call GGIFA, orang tu kata takleh nak terima bayaran hari ni sebab dah lambat. Kalo pagi dia boleh ar masukkan duit tu dalam Bank, time petang ni dh tak sempat dia kata.. Tak jadi la nak pegi bayar deposit yuran.. So, papa tunggu la spupu aku ni, sampai la dah kol 3 lebeh baru la dia siap kemas.. Kemas la sangat.. barang-barang dia sume dia dah bawak balik.. bilik ni dia tinggal bersepah je, dengan kertas-kertas la, dengan 2-3 cawan tak basuh yang dia bawak minum dalam bilik, tuala lagi, katil tunggang langgang la.. ish.. bengang btol la.. xle ke tak nyusahkan orang.. mak awak pon tak tahan dengan anak sendiri..

Hmm.. Dah takleh nak bayar duit kat GGIFA dok umah jer la tunggu esok pagi plak.. So, papa g la anta spupu aku ni balik kolej.. Dan seperti biasa, aku kena le kemas bilik, umi la yang kena basuh cawan, basuh baju-baju dia yang tertinggal dalam bilik.. Sebab tu la aku tak suka nak melepak umah orang nak tido umah orang sebab takut buat sepah dan menyusahkan tuan rumah.. Kalo la spupu aku ni ada otak kan.. Geram btol buat umi aku camtu..

Laluan ke Angkasaraya

Post yang ni saja jer buat.. untuk sesiapa yang nak tau camne nak jadik pilot.. Ni yang sehabis detail yang aku leh bgtau.. Ni adalah cara-cara untuk jadik pilot persendirian (bukan tajaan airlines MAS ke AirAsia ke atau ape-ape je la)

Niat

Jangan nak jadik pilot sebab mak bapak, atau siapa-siapa pon suruh. Jangan jadik sebab pikir gaji dia mahal (Jadi businessman lagi kaya tau)

Faham

Faham btol2 kerjaya ni, kelebihan kerjaya pilot, kekurangan kerjaya pilot. Faham jugak risiko yang akan ditanggung. Contohnya, terpaksa extend masa belajar (dah kena tambah duit beberapa ribu ringgit). Contoh lain, jadi pilot ni katakanlah ter’eksiden’, putus tangan, dah tak bole nak jadik pilot (ada tak kerjaya lain yang boleh back-up)

Kelayakan

Sekurang-kurangnye keputusan SPM dapat kredit (6C) dalam subjek Sains, Matematik, Bahasa Malaysia dan Bahasa Inggeris.

Proses 1

Tulis surat kepada Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) dalam bahasa Inggeris. Bagitau pihak DCA yang anda amat berminat nak belajar pilot dan nak mohon masuk sekolah penerbangan.
Maklumat yang perlu dilampirkan bersama surat:
Salinan kad pengenalan, salinan sijil SPM (yang disahkan)

Kalo hantar by-hand kat pejabat DCA kat Putrajaya, amek skali senarai nama sekolah penerbangan yang ada kat Malaysia ni supaya senang nak pilih.

Proses 2

Bila DCA dah balas surat anda dan dapat kebenaran. Cari sekolah penerbangan yang anda ingin sertai. Mula-mula cari kat internet, tengok gambar sekolah tu dulu.. cantik ke, selesa ke tempat belajar dia, tempat tinggal pulak macamane rupe dia.. bila dah berkenan di hati, tepon ke HQ dan tanya mengenai perkara berikut:

Hal-hal pasal duit
Deposit
Yuran pendaftaran
Jumlah yuran keseluruhan
Bayaran tambahan (untuk beli uniform, buku-buku, headgear, etc)
Surcharge minyak kapal terbang (yang ni mesti ada punye sebab dia ikut harga minyak semasa, dan biasanya harga minyak jarang turun)
Kemungkinan kalo terpaksa extend belajar, kena bayar lagi tak?
Camne cara pembayaran yuran
Mana nak dapatkan sumber kewangan?
(PAMA – PAPA n MAMA) (MARA) (KWSP mak ayah)

Pendaftaran
Bila korang boleh mendaftar?
Kekerapan pengambilan pelajar
Berapa orang sekali in-take?

Pasal belajar
Tempoh belajar
Ape menda yang korang akan belajar (tapi yang ni leh tengok kat website je)

Keperluan
Uniform
Buku-buku rujukan
Tempat tinggal
Makan Minum
Aksesori penerbangan (contohnya: pilot head phone)

Make sure mesti buat perbandingan antara semua sekolah-sekolah penerbangan tu.. Bandingkan yuran keseluruhan dan bandingkan cara pembayaran, tu la yang paling penting rasanya. Decide yang paling bersesuaian dengan kemampuan dan keinginan

Proses 3

Dah decide sekolah, print borang kemasukan dari website dan isi. Lengkapkan semua yang diperlukan. Lain sekolah lain yang dia nak. Call sekolah tu, buat appointment bagitau yang korang nak masuk sekolah tu dan nak datang hantar borang.

Jangan lupa!! Bawak skali salinan surat kebenaran DCA dan pergi kat HQ dengan semua dokumen dan borang kemasukan. Bila HQ dah keluarkan Letter of Acceptance (surat tawaran) – maknenye korang dah ditawarkan untuk belajar kat sekolah tu tapi tempat korang untuk blaja blom ada lagi selagi korang tak bayar deposit.

Kalo dah bayar deposit, korang akan diberikan Letter of Placement (Surat Kemasukan). Surat ni menandakan korang dah ada tempat untuk blaja kat sekolah penerbangan tu. Dia dah reserve tempat la.

Proses 3A (Sekiranya takde duit nak bayar deposit)

Kalo takde duit nak bayar deposit.. sekolah penerbangan akan bagi Letter of Acceptance (surat tawaran).. Dengan surat tawaran ni, leh la pegi buat pinjaman kat AgroBank, pinjaman insani nama dia.. Leh buat pinjaman sampai RM100k..

Bila buat pinjaman AgroBank ni, ingat yang korang ni pinjam kat bank, bukan kat PTPTN.. Korang kena bayar balik sebaik sahaja pinjaman 2 korang dapat.. Takde penangguhan bayaran (tangguh bayar pinjaman selepas habis belajar).. Lagi plak, kena ada penjamin kalo nak buat pinjaman tu.. Carik la sape-sape yang sudi nak jadik penjamin.. Bila pinjaman dah diluluskan, korang gne la duit tu untuk bayar Deposit..

Bila dah bayar deposit tu, nanti dapat la Letter of Placement (Surat Kemasukan)

Proses 4

Dengan Letter of Placement (Surat Kemasukan) tu, korang pegi pulak kat Pejabat MARA kat Kuala Lumpur amek borang pinjaman pelajaran. Isi borang tu dengan lengkap skali dengan dokumen-dokumen yang dia nak. Kalo dia tanya, Jangan bagitau korang ada dapat bantuan kewangan dari tempat lain okay (contohnya, korang guna KWSP untuk bayar yuran ke, tengah dapat biasiswa JPA ke, diam-diam je)

Hantar borang tu untuk diproses. Tunggu panggilan interview. Masa interview, jangan bagitau yang korang sedang belajar.. Bagitau yang korang tak buat ape-ape just tengah apply nak masuk sekolah penerbangan je. Lepas interview, dia bagi keputusan. Kalo MARA kata dia akan bagi pinjaman. Leh la setelkan yuran pendaftaran kat HQ.

Biasanya MARA akan bayarkan semua yuran-yuran tu.. Jadi Janganlah digusarkan.. Tapi monitor betul-betul la, make sure MARA bayar yuran tu semua on time.. Nanti kalo MARA bayar lambat, karang sekolah tu ingat korang yang tak bayar, terus kena reject plulak..

Sepanjang proses, dari mula hantar borang kepada MARA, mesti selalu call dan tanya pasal permohonan.. Biasa la, bila dah government yang uruskan mesti la tak cekap dan efisyen.. benda yang boleh siap 2 minggu jadik 2 bulan.. So, sentiasa la contact dengan pegawai yang berkenaan, biarlah diorang sakit ati ke tertekan ke, yang penting permohonan diuruskan dan diluluskan secepat mungkin.

Proses 5

Medical Check-up

Ni la yang penting jugak. Medical check-up ni bukan medical check-up biasa. Hanya tempat yang tertentu je yang DCA approve. Nak tau mana tempat dia, tanya DCA.. Hmm.. Kat website Asia Pacific Flight Training ada jugak list tu..

Pegi sume proses check-up tu.. antara yang akan di check-up ialah:
Eye Test
X-Ray
Physical Test (weight and height)
Audio Test
ECG (Electrocardiogram – ujian degupan jantung)
Blood Test
Urine Test

Bila dah lulus semua medical check-up, doctor akan bagi sijil kelulusan iaitu kertas bersaiz 10cmX10cm.. Kecik tapi bermakna..

Proses 6

Berkemas-kemaslah untuk berangkat menuju sekolah penerbangan dan mendaftar sebagai cadet pilot.

Semua Proses 1-6 ni adalah proses yang perlu dilalui kalo korang nak belajar pilot secara persendirian (bukan tajaan MAS, AirAsia atau mana-mana syarikat penerbangan). Actually, ada step yang boleh dibuat serentak, contohnye, sambil tunggu surat DCA tu, leh la wat medical check-up dan cari sekolah yang bersesuaian.

Terima Kasih kepada mereka-mereka yang telah membantu aku untuk jadik pilot ni..Yang tunjukkan camne nak apply sampai boleh belajar pilot. Antaranya ialah Ihram, ayah Ain, orang-orang kat forum FLYDAMNIT.COM.. kat Ain jugak sebab bagi moral support yang paling banyak.
