Entering the' NO TRESSPASSING ZONE'
The BLACK BOX
To see the Black Box.Usually orange in color to make
it easier to find in the event of a crash, the Black Box,
containing a cockpit voice recorder and digital flight
data recorder, has proven invaluable in analyzing the
cause of many airplane disasters.
The weight of the Black Box is about 18 kg..
The second stopover, we are advised to adhered instruction strictly.
This is one preventive measure against any untoward happening.
Notice the borderline on the floor..No shoe beyond the line.
This is to prevent any presence of sharp object.
The emergency egress slide demonstration...
Full blown egress slide within 6 seconds!!!
Testing the weight on the slide...for any air leakage...
Children trying on the safety jacket.
The officer later brief about the inflight safety procedures.
Due to security reason, we are not allowed to take pictures
in the Hangar except this group potrait with permission..
Inside the Hangar, we are shown how the plane is painted,
Repairing and modification on the wing. Parts replacement.
The interior maintenance and lastly, the landing gear.
Children who had never experience or fly before,
I am glad that they feel happy with such an outing exposure.

Thanks to my diligent SUK and PTO..they are my
'left and right hand' in managing and
controlling the situation..

Overall, I am happy, really happy about this program. Many thanks to MAS Engineering Dept for providing a good hospitality and valuable information about aviation industry. Not only that, the staff unselfishly encourage the children to study hard for their education and future.Last and not least, my appreaciation to my
