Yup. I feel flying experience is more important rather than a semi-relevant engineering degree. I feel a degree is more to justify that you are able to understand and absorb study materials given to you.

It looks more like an engine replacement trying to be done. There's no present airliner with 5 or 6 engines. Yeah I agree with you the engine is of a diff color tone. Kinda weird huh?

[quikslvr]

yeah the 5th engine is not turned on during flying but i think the anti-icing is turned on..im not dat knowledgeable.only got PPL..

[ahmadtmz]

wow...you are damn lucky to have seen the non functioning 5th pod ! It's truly a rare sight. Is it still the quickest and cheapest way to transport spare engines(only RR right?)...?correct me if im wrong. maybe the color of the cowling is just the airlines preference.

RR? rolls royce? not too sure.according to my colleague,why the cowling is white,coz its a brand new engine..

Chances are good. No worries about that, know quite a few RSAF chopper pilots with SIA now, problem is you will most probably need to go through the Jandakot and Marochydore phase like the rest of the ab initio but at a more accelerated rate considering your RT, a/c handling should be of a certain standard already.

very hard to get in.. may be a blessing if you dun get in..

[Guest limpeiwah]

whoa cool job. thanks guys for keepin this post relavant (sorta) and alive (well and truly)

[tooned]

hmm if you want to join the rsaf, you must really love flying coz sometimes the secondary duties will make you wonder why you signed on at the first place.

 

try talking to rsaf pilots before you make the decision. when they take you in, there's no turning back without the risk of having to pay saf for failing out.

 

good luck and hope you make an informed choice and don't be fooled by the posters!

 

all that said, it's been great for me so far.

 

cheers!
