This is my 2nd flight flying the Duchess BE-76 Multi-Engine aircraft. Have become very comfortable flying it switching from a Single-Engine Glass Diamond to this, I must say! Thanks to Amir Kia for the pics from the backseat. Will be doing the MECIR after my initial endorsement next week. More pics on johanfaridkhairuddin.com.

My classmates Boris Forey, Michael Sat, Amir Kia and I were given a full on full day tour of Brisbane International Air Traffic Center and Airport Control Tower yesterday by Gold Coast Airport’s ATC Boss himself Mr. Martin Simpkins.  Thanks so much Martin for the AMAZING tour, we learned so much on what its like from the OTHER end of the Mic.  Bridging the gap between Pilots and Controllers. Pics in my Picasa!

So I manage to score 85% for my IREX Theory. Worked real hard for it and am pleased with the results. Although one would reckon it could be mistaken for an English exam rather than an instrument exam! Anyways, here are some pics taken on the small year end holiday POST Irex Theory and PRE Multi-Engine Command Instrument Rating.

Uploaded some new pics post my Commercial Pilot’s License.  Great having an actual license to fly which I can make money with and all, but I am so far from feeling that I know anything let alone everything! Will be commencing my multi-engine twin endorsement and instrument rating next week! Wish me luck. Gulp!

I am closing on towards the final stages of my commercial pilots license. This is the home run people! Over the next 2-3 weeks, I will be going into psychotic-study mode. Once I become a commercial pilot, I’m being told, I will supposedly never fly VFR/Visual again. Gulp! Here is a link to the pics on my picasa.

I flew formation with my course mates to Hervey Bay and back from the Gold Coast. A good 2 hours up and another 2 down. Flew at 9500’ over the coastline/sea. Was a great experience, never did formation before. You should have heard us talking as if we were F1-11s on our own frequency. Haha. Hilarious!

Back to the skies! I am in my final month of Commercial training. If all goes well, I should be a commercial pilot by this time next month. Its going to be an uphill battle from now onwards until i’m done with my CPL. Need to step up the game! Click on the picture to see all the pics so far on my PICASA.
