Change The Flight Plan 7

SHAH ALAM: More videos this time, the first is a Beech King Air of the RMAF on a training flight and a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 747. The King Air as it was doing circuits, tend to over fly the schools in the TTDI Jaya area, not directly like the others but close enough.

The Jumbo (video taken on July 17 ) as all Malaysia Airlines planes flew away from the schools. But as the Sek Keb TTDI Jaya is located near the end of the Subang Airport runway (about one km away) the big jets and small ones flying away will always appear as close as those aircraft which overfly the school.

Change The Flight Plan 6

SHAH ALAM: It seems that even if the planes do not over fly Sek Keb TTDi Jaya and Sek Men Keb TTDI Jaya, aircraft taking off from Subang Airport fly really close to the schools.

Sek Keb TTDi Jaya is particularly vulnerable as it is located the nearest to the airport's runway, which is located about ONE kilometre away.

For some strange reason, these planes (especially those on pre-or post-maintenainance flights) seemed to prefer flying out of Subang as near to the school as possible.

They can always fly out towards the Hyatt Saujana first before turning towards Sg Buloh to complete the touch-and goes a veritable circle track in an airspace around 10 square kilometres.

I understand that the airport was build before the schools hence it is not easy to cancel out the noise issue or curtail aircraft activities but changing the flight plan to fly away from the schools should be easy.

Other planes are doing it but why the training planes and the aircraft on check flights neeed to fly over or near the schools remained a wonder. I remember that last year, a British E-3A Sentry AWACS plane fly out toward U1 and even flying over the Ladang Rasak (behind the TTDI Jaya) to avoid flying over the two schools.

Check out these two videos, the first a business jet taking off from Subang two weeks ago and the other an Air Asia Boeing 737 taken today (July 5). Note that both planes came very close to the primary school.

Buzz for Pay Per Post

Why Do I Love Pay Per Post? Why? You ask. It’s the money of course. I know I have only joined PPP recently and have not earned any money yet. But from the buzz I have read and seen, I am going on full throttle after this post.

CHange The Flight Plan is of course where anything goes, even blogging for commercial purpose ie actively blogging for money.

If you think I am shallow, think again. You do know me, so stop making judgment on me .
Anyway, its money that makes the world go round. Ask any one. You need money to live to ear or eat to live. One cannot survive on principals alone. Just as those people crusading against corruption. Without money, they would be on the streets.

On CNN they are broadcasting a program focus on Russia. One after another, Russians talk about freedom, opportunity and stability. Its all about the money even in the former communist state.

So what is wrong about blogging for money? Blah, a former colleague of mine said. He can do that. He is single. His only worries centers on where he can get his next mug beer.

Being a journalist, there is always a person who is willing to fork out the bill. If he cannot get someone to pay, with his salary and no responsibility, he can still drink himself silly every night.

And me. Since becoming a home stay dad, I need to diversify my income. I worked part time on weekends and through my contacts, I write for magazines.

If you are still not convinced that being paid to blog is unethical. Think again. Many have been millions from the Internet. Some without doing anything at all. At least I am trying to do something. Kudos to Pay Per Post for letting me do it with some rewards.
