His argument to the DCA inspector, my captain had used real Jeppesen charts for the " approach briefing " and " primary reference ". The hand drawn chart was only an " aid de memoire ". So the DCA inspector accepted the pass after a lengthy argument. I was indeed very grateful that the " cinapek " stood his ground eventhough THAT WAS HIS own TRE CHECK SIMULATOR SESSION! Thinking back it was amazing but at that point I was mighty glad it was all over and we passed. I was sure my captain must had been very relieved; however he never really show anything.
Hassan, was your fellow checkee skipper hamidi by any chance? I heard of that incident over 16 years ago when the DCA examiner had already joined flying for MAS in MYY!

I finally met a MAS vet who had some recollection of this matter....the checkee was hamidi, the DCA Examiner was Capt. Razali. Capt Zul Noah was somehow involved in some capacity; it's a long time ago and it seems that it wasn't that dramatic.
