Change The Flight Plan 8

SHAH ALAM: Regular readers of this blog would have moticed the changes in the layout of this blog. Most noticably is the big picture of a Transmile MD-11 cargo plane in the header.

No, Transmile have not sponsored this blog. I wish they would do so but in the current situation I dont think they can afford me. Anyway I decided to put up the Transmile MD-11 as the picture header as they are the ones that usually fly over the schools in TTDI Jaya whenever they are conducting their pre-or-post maintenance flights. You can see the video in my earlier posts.

Furthermore the MD-1s make the loudest noise when taking off dirty, so they deserved the publicity!

Other operators notably RMAF and Malaysia Airlines tend to fly slightly further than the schools although these planes remained very close to the schools. But with the schools located so near to the active runway, I agree that it cannot be helped.

However, they could alwats change their flight plans. If they cannot avoid flying near the school, they could simply fly after school hours or over the weekend.

I wonder whether this could be done?

The first video was taken on July 30 of a RMAF Hercules taking off from Subang. The second one is another RMAF taking off on August 6. Both started flying about 5.30pm, they were flying pretty low with the gear down.









It was so near that you can hear the school's nell ringing in the background!
