I think this is a brilliant concept where visitors or \u201cvirtual pilots\u201d that fly the A320 or B737-800 simulators at SimFlightKL can also combine their package with a real flying experience on a real general aviation aircraft! Sure it is not a jetliner but a general aviation aircraft like a Cessna or a Piper can still provide a fun learning experience to a non-pilot like me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We started the session back in SimFlightKL with a short briefing by Capt Amin and his staff. Elements of safety were also part of the pre-flight briefing. Although it is a \u201csmall plane\u201d, it is still a real flying experience so safety is the highest priority at any time. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2100.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2100.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2100.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2100-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2100-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2100-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Explanation on the circuits that we will be performing in the 30 minutes flight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/346.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/346.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/346.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/346-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/346-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/346-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our ride for the day, 9M-CTM, a Piper Warrior II aircraft.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/427.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/427.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/427.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/427-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/427-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/427-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Owned by Subang Flying Club, this is a beautiful plane despite its age.
