Bz week.....

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera

I heard the result for A41 PAC and exam SPA for A29 are out. 

CONGRATULATION to all candidate that make it to next stage. I know u will feel the excitement for the next stage.

For A41, be prepare for the interview with SPA.

For A29, u have to prepare for PAC which i think is more likely like A41 PAC. U may read my entry about how the PAC will be conducted. I will share some more information later about role play.

BUT 

for this time being, i was really bz with KLIA 2 training. The training already started since last year and toward the opening this coming MEI 2014, there a lot more training and refresher will be conducted. We have our theory classes for KLIA2 operation with Mr Andrea Ponziani from ENAV, the ATC authority from Italy. They come all the way from Italy to share their knowledge and experience especially regarding runway crossing operation. Of course, I have to prepare for an exam tomorrow and the passing mark is 70% and above. 

Remember as long u are an ATC it is a never ending training.

I hope i could share some information for stage 3 and the additional info for PAC later after i have finish my training.

For those who already send the email request for the notes, i will reply it later. And for those who asked me to send to them, i really hope that u could send the email to me first. Like i mention earlier in the entry, it much easier for me to send through my mobile phone since i store it in there.

So hope to see u next entry........ wish me luck for my exam tomorrow

It Tough Indeed

Ask Air Traffic Control: How tough is controller training?

Question: How tough is the training to become an air traffic controller?

Answer: Training is very tough. The training process depends on which facility a person is assigned. There are three different kinds of facilities in the National Airspace System: airport towers, Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities, which handle the airspace in generally a 50-mile radius around airports, and the 21 Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) that handle large sections of airspace across multiple states.
New hires are typically not placed at very busy airports or TRACONs. Much like professional baseball, many trainees hone their skills at less busy airports and move up with experience. However, ARTCCs have a different training process that is more conducive to new hires starting there and progressing successfully.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalau di Malaysia three different facilities tu pertama nyer adalah Aerodrome Control Course untuk control traffic di Airport means that duduk kt tower (mcm yang me buat skrg). Yang kedua yang disebut sebagai Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities ialah Approach Non-Radar Procedural Course - A29 AATCO have to take this course) and Approach Radar Course - which is the highest, the toughest and the last course as an ATC. Tugas nya lebih mencabar kerana ATC nie control a small airspace within airport area yang mana disinlah semua kapal nak masuk dan keluar dari sesebuah airport. Yang ketiga which is Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) include Area Non-Radar Prosedure Course and Area Radar Course - A41 ATCO must attend this course (my batch including me already fulfill this course as one of the requirement for confirmation). ATC yang handle this job responsible to the wide airspace cover by that country. Kalo Malaysia from part of India Ocean ke sebahagian Laut China Selatan and airspace cover in Sabah and Sarawak area. In between Laut China Selatan tu dikawal oleh Singapore.

Another big test coming

Sempat lagi nak post something walaupun masa cuma tinggal paras2 hidung jer utk baca semua MATS and AIP yg ada utk validation.

Another big test coming and this come it really big among the biggest cause it will determine my future as ATC.

Validation day will start tmr staring with evening shift

and

will be continue the next day during morning shift

then

the toughest part is the ORAL TEST with Mr Check Officer.

Masa nie la semua procedure have to be inside our head.

Huhuhuhu

I already feel like crying :

Ya Allah, Kau permudahkan segala urusan ku selama aku menghadapi test validation ku ini. Lembutkan hati para pemeriksa, lancarkan lah percakapan ku, permudahkan lah traffic ku dan berikan lah aku kejayaan dalam ujian ini.

Hanya padaMu ku memohon pertolongan. Sesungguh nya Engkau Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang.

AMIN

Bz, bz and zzzzzzz

As always i would like to apologize for not updating my blog. Alasan macam biasa la, bz or xde masa tp tetap ada masa utk zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Anyway tomorrow will be my final exam for Aerodrome Control Course. Theory part only take about 2 week where last week we had our progress test and i got slightly above the pass mark. Ok lah tu usaha sendiri kan dari orang lain yg dapat markah tinggi-tinggi sbb dapat kertas soalan pagi test tu.......... apa org kata .....BERKAT tu penting (hehehehe tp kalo orang bagi kertas soalan tu pun aku tak kisah. Nie stok dengki tak dapat kertas peksa la nie.......).

So mlm nie kene struggle sikit sbb byk yg nak kene hafal. So kene pastikan masuk otak dan tak kuar2, bak kata Mr Zul mesti copy and paste jgn cut and paste.

By next week practical part will start and we will be divided into 8 class and working in shift. Maybe there will be morning and evening shift and change every 1 week. Didn't know how the management will decide. Just wait and see. First need to pass and concentrate on the final theory part tomorrow.

During the practical week maybe i have a lot of time to spent so one of the thing that i may be do is updating this blog. A lot to say and a lot to write by then.

The very Stupid Things Happen Today

Today suppose to be the Final Exam for Navigational Aids but after 45 minutes exam, suddenly Ms Anna Ting Ting Ting come up in front and start to say something. Earlier i just want to ignore it and continue answering the question BUT she come out with the instruction,

"We have to stop this exam and re-exam again because some of you got the question paper. This is the prove"

You can see at her hand there a several paper with the nice writing. It not 1 but at least 5 of the paper with a good hand writing consist of question and answer exactly the same in the final paper. You can saw the printed version of the final paper too.

What a stupid, stupid, stupid things to do............

U know that u have the question and still u bring that to the exam hall (maybe u want to memorised it BUT please use your brain........ U can memorise and keep that things in the class room instead of at the exam hall). U knew that Ms Anna have nothing much to do except to check everything on what student might do then u stupid enough to put that paper behind of the hall. Of course she will check everything (she also check our cupboard during inspection in the hostel room) of course she will spot that paper..........

Another stupid things is u brought the printed version of the question paper into the hall. Exactly the same as the final paper WITH THE MARKS INSIDE........ If we want to argue with the instructor about that question (cause maybe it just the coincidence), of course we will lost in any court because u have the printed version. Exactly the same question words by words. Tak pandai nak cover..................

I have to admit that i also got that question. I got it last night (but not the printed version) and had answered all the question. I just memorised the answer for the exam. BUT it still not fair because Mr Razi have given us enough hint during the class earlier. So my answer actually already been done much earlier (before i got that question) when i make my short notes refer to the hint given by Mr Razi.

BUT STILL i can't accept the STUPID things that have been done by someone who i think can think enough of their action..........

We can saw the frustrated face at Mr Razi. It really shown....... It feel like we have failed him by doing that things. Fara said he come into the class with the red eyes and said that he very disappointed with us..........

Then we have our "lecture" by Ketua Pengarah, Tuan Haji Remli at the auditorium around 11am this morning. About the things that just happen earlier. He also expressed his disappointed that this things can happen in this batch.

There will be a big chances that we may also have to re-seat exam for not only Nad Aids BUT also for the other 4 Final exam that we have earlier............... (what the hell !!!!!!!!!!)

Very frustrated :(

Final exam - Primary ATC Course

Bile belajar je ada pekse...... Bile pekse jer belajar.......

Bak kata prof aku pekse nie dibuat utk menguji tahap kefahaman student. Kalo xde exam budak2 xbaca buku. Buku tu nnti jadi perhiasan jer..... Ha tu yg datang belajar utk jawab peksa jer..... Lepas abis pekse abis hilang semua....... Hehehehe biasa la tu kan........

Kat primary course nie pun sama jer 2x5=10. Student is being evaluate from the final exam for each of the primary course subject. But some of the subject not need for final exam but have an assignment to be submit in certain time. From 13 subject in this courses, 11 subject need for a final exam that carry 90% or 80% of mark and add with the progress test.

We have done final exam for 4 subject and starting tmr another 7 will approaching one by one. 2 final paper for each week i think is fair enough for us. Only that the gap between Air Nav and ATS will be a little hard to carry because both subject it tough and we only have 2 days to study for ATS. We see if there is any other new amendment for the final schedule but as far as i know that the final arrangment as told by Mr Razi since HQ need all the result by 22nd April and student just have to wait for the attachment letter the following week (if student pass all the exam). Who ever need to repeat the paper will stay for the fail paper and proceed for the attachment. So moral of the story whether u pass or not, u still have to go to the attachment.

So far, i have passed all the 4 subject (Alhamdulillah). Berkat doa mak and org2 yg tersayang........Most of the mark is in average...... :)
