We will now bring you back to the year of 1969.....and our reference is the document of 'Final Draft Report,1969' - Flight Inspection Programs: Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia (with Singapore and Brunei). The document is prepared by U.S. Department of Transportation for Agency for International Development, Washington, D.C.
PART II, Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations.
Malaysia has no current capability but recognizes the need for flight calibration. Planning is underway for acquisition of a suitably equipped aircraft. Malaysian Civil Aviation officials informally expressed willingness to provide reimbursable flight inspection services to the Governments of Singapore and Brunei. We believe that Malaysia can conveniently and at comparatively low cost obtain ground laboratory calibration service from Indonesia or Thailand, although Civil Aviation officials expressed the view that at least partial capability was already available in their Department of Telecommunications. The estimated in-country workload is approximately 420 flight hours per year. (REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT IS WRITTEN IN YEAR 1969!)
wah..! kind of heavy reading......
Requirements Analysis: Flight Inspection Malaysia
Preface
Transport by air within Malaysia's 127,700 square miles is important and increasingly in providing a link with the rest of the world. Malaysia is served by a number of international airlines and air agreements have been negotiated with 12 countries by the Malaysian Government. A new $20 million international jet airport has been completed near Kuala Lumpur capable of accommodating the present and next generation of jet aircraft. Further the airport is equipped with sophisticated instrument landing devices.
Air transportation is of special importance in East Malaysia, and regular (including jet) flight connect Sabah and Sarawak with West Malaysia and Singapore. The 'supply' of air services has been increased, and airports are being improved and air navigation and landing aids are being installed rapidly. Private flying is limited and principally consists of the operation of four flying clubs. These are located in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Penang and Kota Kinabalu. Facilities for pilot training at Kluang which are offered with the assistance of the Republic of Singapore Flying Clubs. The need is recognized to increase the pool of young pilots for future, not only for the Royal Malaysian Air Force, but for the growing internal air charter business.
The Government of Malaysia has planned and budgeted support for a flight inspection program as a means of protecting its investment in airports, communications and navigation aids, and to compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) concepts which provide that all countries operating navigational devices serving international routes and flights, must inspect and calibrate these facilities on a regular and frequent basis
Air Navigation Facilities available in Malaysia (1969)
ILS 2
VOR 4
DME 2
NDB 42
VASI 2
TOTAL 52
Now let we see how many Air Navigation Facilities available in Malaysia currently (October 2008)
ILS/DME 24
DVOR/DME 28
PAPI 47
NDB 29
ASR/SSR 3
TACAN 3
PAR 5
TOTAL 139
mmmmm.... a lots of true dedication is needed to accomplish this very important National Interest tasks but....only few know about it..
until next time....
