Hi all, newbie from YMMB

Hi all!

 

I'm a newbie who got my RPL in Moorabbin Airport at Learn To Fly Melbourne on the Sling 2. I currently fly in the Hong Kong Aviation Club however I am moving back mid-November. I am 18 years old and from Hong Kong, name is Howard and some people call me Honky Nerd as I am from Hong Kong (although I study in the Aussie school here) and I can be a nerd at times in front of airplanes.

 

When I move back I aim to complete my PPL, RA-Aus Instructor Rating, CPL and then the Grade 3 flying instructor rating.

 

Great to be here and looking forward to learn more!

Unfortunately times have changed, In years gone by, if you were interested in flying, and you made it known to the flight crew and requested to have a look in the Captains Office, you'd often get invited up on the flight deck.

 

I've spent many hours chatting to the crew whilst seated in the jump seat, but unfortunately 9/11 and other incidents killed that off, so it's now a thing of the past. So when you come back to Oz, you'll probably have to remain in your designated seat:sad:

 

Good luck with your future training.

Very true, however I have visited the flight deck twice after arrival on two separate flights, just told the FAs that I have such intention. They allowed me in both times.
