Lights OFF landings
Yeap Jetrat..guessed as much. Pondered over the Trengganu situation where the rwy lights were off. A FK50 had to RTB when he was about 15NM from touchdown. The question is would the acft be able to land with it's own headlights in an emergency? question may sound a bit silly but wondering if it could be done.
Veloo,
We'll use the North-South highway if we have to in an emergency. But with pax and fuel and no emergency,RTB is much better to crash,die and be blamed as an idiot!
Without the approach light is still acceptable under most good weather conditions but no runway lights is not a good idea.There is no clear identification of the runway edge and thus the landing visual perceptions for runway lenght and height above runway are all gone.

Subang is hub No.2 for Firefly
There u r guys..the cabinet has now approved SZB as hub no.2 for Firefly.
I believe they will start domestic and eventually international from SZB. Probably a 737 to Cebu or some exoctic place in the Phillipines would do good for them. ATClers r looking forward to Firefly operating international from SZB.Welcome mate.cuti cuti controller

Hi veloo,

veloo dont u think air asia will go mad because they tried to use SZB 2 years ago and government reject their request although they offered to finance half of the cost to refurbish Terminal 3.
Because fuel cost is evil, taxiing from LCCT to 32 R and 32 L gonna cost them a tonne of the precious commodity, not including long queue especially when the DCA guy doing calibration works. Compare SZB runway and T3, distance is not an issue.
Just my thought...
anyway check you pm.

I called that Poetic Justice 
Since AK quickly "suggested" that Firefly to take over FAX operations & soon afterwards immediately 'abused' & 'reused' the AOC for their International Long Haul flights, I don't see why they need to cry foul!
I guessed this is also a 'punishment' for them when everybody was inconvenienced with their less than satisfactory service in FAX.The latest being the grounding of all their F50's! Yup...all 7 of them!! 
Best leave things to the proffesionals AK .....

SZB Hub No.2 for Firefly
Hi Flyers...AirAsia is well established.Whether they fly from KLIA or Timbuktu they already know how to make money.they have set standards and are continuing to do so.Firefly has just started to blink.I believe it is in their vision to shine. They definitely need to fly jets to make money. Turboprops will never allow them to rake in the RM. We help them by giving direct tracks on a daily basis eg VPG-VKN, VPG-VKT and vice versa etc. This constitutes to definite savings. Whether this 'drop in the ocean" by ATC will ever help we are not sure but it is entirely their vision and accountability to make money. the only problem we foresee is the congestion SZB will have to face especially with the numerous flying schools already established. There is going to be too much holding for this poor guys and with AVGAS skyrocketing it will be good for all of them to move out of SZB. With the limited Area of Responsibility given to SZB ADR(aerodrome control) 1500ft and 5nm radius, it is going to be tough to put everyone in. Now with limited bays and too many hangars it is going to be tough too for MAB. Let's wait n see how things will move on in SZB.

Firefly/ATC/Subang
Hi Veloo...and the rest, whatever the governments decision, it's a done deal, my concern is still the facilities in SZB are below PAR at the moment..overgrown grass, taxi way lights & edge lights burnt out,missing-broken...as veloo mentioned..the mushrooming of flying schools and hangars-wow..SZB is now prime real estate.There's more....PETRONAS AVIATION...will not be able to cope when Ffly and others start coming to szb.We're already experiencing the 'problem' of not enough bowser and manpower..especially that the 'ground hydrant' refuelling is limited to the cargo apron.Then there's the facility at terminal 3...'What facility' ? restaurants need a re-work.Security will need more manpower...PARKING,etc.etc.
More flights will mean more pax traffic movement...and so the scenario goes.
my 50 cents worth.
tks

SZB as hub for f/fly
hi Cress...whatever problems u have highlighted cannot be denied. However our Govt is a rich one. RM is never a problem for us. If 100mil can be pumped overnite for the KL floods, reviving SZB is a drop in the ocean man.Just wait n see how SZB is going to be revived.MOT has everything covered brother...why we might even have a LCCT in SZB soon.MALAYSIA BOLIH PAK!Restaurants?..just observe how the kachang putih seller is doing a roaring biz everyday...with only Berjaya around.
