9M-RFC
The workhorse of the Royal Selangor Flying Club has flown another 2,000 hours and is an the hangar for another engine. It is expected back on the flight line on 14th February 2011
9M-AUB
A new arrival on the Flightline is Piper PA28 - 180 Cherokee leased from our Maintenance Engineers ADMAL SB. An interesting challenge for those pilots with no experience of a low wing aircraft. Call the OPS Room and get checked out!
9M-RAF
A 2000 model Cessna 172 with twin Garmin 430 GPS Radio and Navigation System. An ideal touring aircraft, just right for for that weekend in Phuket.
9M-ZAR
A 2000 Model 172SP, this is another excellent touring aircraft.
9M-TOP
Yet more woe for TOP when on a recent landing a diversion into the weeds has caused some damage to the firewall bulkhead. Sad to say TOP will be in the hangar for some time.
9M-HAN
A 2000 Model C172R with a full suite of IFR instrumentation. With modern sound proofing and a fuel injected 160hp engine this aircraft is going to take you places quickly and quietly. To ease the burden of long distance flying it is fitted with a single axis Autopilot.
There are a few restrictions on the use of this aircraft as such SPL holders must have 25 hours total on make and model before flying solo, and PPL holders must have 200 hours total time on make and model before flying solo. Please contact the Ops Office if you require further clarification
9M-VEN formerly 9M-LPC
A labour of love for owners Martin Haeger and David Chua this aircraft is going through the final stages of certification after a very long refurbishment programme. No guesses when it will be on the Flight Line but it should be in this decade. That was suppoed to be the first decade, well perhaps in the second decade.
9M-TAR
This aircraft, a Cessna 182
Skylane is based at Bernam River Airfield and has been fully utilised by the the owners, RSFC members Ken Bywater, Graham Pritchard, Peter Binsted and John May. Many problems were picked up during certification as it was considered "first of type" by MY DCA, however all is now well and this aircraft can be seen and heard in the skies of Malaysia. Recent trips have seen it cross the border to Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok in Thailand.
The aircraft is equipped for
Instrument Flying and carries a full suite of avionics including Garmin 430
GPS, Autopilot and Stormscope.
