9M-HAN
And now for something completely different, it may be a Cessna 172 but this is a year 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 no restrictions on flying the aircraft other than a full dual check with the RFI or other qualified instructor.
The General Committee is grateful to the owner and importer of the aircraft, Steve Hansen for placing this outstanding aircraft with Royal Selangor Flying Club.
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.
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 making its way from Penang to Redang to Tioman.
The aircraft is equipped for
Instrument Flying and carries a full suite of avionics including Garmin 430
GPS, Autopilot and Stormscope.
