AK 6303 LANGKAWI - KUALA LUMPUR(LCCT) 12 Februari 2009

Alhamdulillah, 12hb Februari 2009 merupakan salah satu titik memori indah dalam hidup. Penerbangan pertama menaiki kapal terbang akhirnya. Sebelum bertolak ke Langkawi akhirnya mengusahakan diri untuk menjengah statistik dan data-data yang berkaitan. Keterujaan menaiki penerbangan pertama diiringi dengan sifat ingin tahu yang mendalam.

Malapetaka Udara vs Kemalangan Jalan Raya

Kebarangkalian untuk terlibat dalam malapetaka udara lebih kurang 1:11,000,000. Darihal yang lain pula kebarangkalian tebunuh dalam kemalangan jalanraya adalah 1:5,000. Jadi, jika diamati dari data statistk yang diberikan, perumpamaan dibawah perlu diterima pakai;

"Iaitu risiko memandu ke lapangan terbang lebih tinggi daripada menaiki kapal terbang itu sendiri."

Logik...

Tetapi yang menjadi pemasalahan adalah, persepsi kita dipandu oleh bagaimana kita dapat menguasai suasana. Persepsi bahawa dengan menaiki kenderaan darat sendiri kita dapat menentukan sendiri natijahnya, berbanding dengan penerbangan. Segalanya terletak ditangan juruterbang. Begitu juga apabila menaiki bas. Sesetengah lebih selesa memandu dari dipandu kerana sifat penguasaan itu sendiri.

Sejarah Malapetaka Penerbangan MALAYSIA

1) 4 December 1977- A Boeing 737-200 (9M-MBD) as Malaysia Airlines flight 653 was hijacked, and crashed in Tanjung Kupang, Johor, killing all 100 people aboard.

2) 15 September 1995- A Fokker 50 (9M-MGH) as Malaysia Airlines flight 2133 crashed during approach in Tawau, Sabah due to wind shear. 34 people were killed.

Other, non-fatal incidents

3) 18 December 1983 - An Airbus A300-100 (OY-KAA) leased from Scandinavian Airlines as Malaysia Airlines flight 684, crashed 2 km short of the runway in Subang on a flight from Singapore. There were no fatalities, but the aircraft was written-off.

4) 15 March 2000 - An Airbus A330-300 (9M-MKB) was damaged by a chemical called oxalyl chloride, which leaked from canisters when unloading, causing damage to the fuselage. The 5-year-old Airbus was sufficiently damaged to be written-off.

5) 30 November 2003 - A cable in a Boeing 777-200ER that allows pilots to turn the plane on the ground had snapped before the Bombay-bound jet was to take off. The incident came just months (2004) after several wires on an Airbus A330-300 bound for Australia were found to have been cut shortly before take-off. Three of the airline's staff were arrested and later released over what a spokesman described as an act of vandalism, not sabotage. The government and police regarded both incidents as sabotage.

6) 1 August 2005 - A Boeing 777-2H6ER as Malaysia Airlines flight 124 departed Perth, Western Australia for Kuala Lumpur. Climbing through 38,000 feet a faulty accelerometer caused the aircraft's Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) to command changes of altitude. The flight crew overrode the ADIRU and manually returned to land the aircraft at Perth. Subsequent ATSB investigation led the US FAA to issue emergency airworthiness directive 2005-18-51 on the fly-by-wire software.
