As a continous traveler, I dealt with flights a lot. Saat menjadi penumpang, apa yang kita
lihat dan rasakan mostly adalah
fasilitas, service dan look dari interior maupun body pesawat.
Namun proses di balik rutinitas terbang yang kita lakukan sangat panjang, we'll see a bit, a behind the scene of
Garuda Indonesia's flight, here in GITC, Garuda Indonesia Training Center, and
a close look to the Maintenance Facility..
As a continuous traveler, I dealt with flights of a
lot. When I became a passenger, what we see and feel mostly is the facilities,
service and look of the interior and body planes. However, the process behind
the fly routines that we do is very long, we'll see a bit, a behind the scene
of Garuda Indonesia's flight, here in GITC, Garuda Indonesia Training Center,
and a close look to the Maintenance Facility ..
BASIC TRAINING CENTER
 |
| When you want a fully reclining spot but you're on economy class ;) |
 |
| Not a real plane, no worries, we're not that nasty :)) |
Other than the makeup and catwalk training (yes, they
have the walk platform), the interesting part is this plane model inside of the
training center building.
Dibuat menyerupai kondisi pesawat sesungguhnya, di sinilah kru pesawat
melakukan service training.

WET DRILL SIMULATION
Area indoor dengan mock up pesawat dan juga kolam ini dibuat untuk training emergency situation, dengan kondisi pendaratan darurat di air. Di sini kru pesawat berlatih tentang step-step yang perlu dilakukan saat kondisi darurat, let's hope they (and we) don't have to experience the real thing
Indoor area with a mock up plane and also the pool
are created for training emergency situation, the emergency landing on water
conditions. Here the air crews practice of step by step to do when in an
emergency situation, let's hope they (and we) do not have to experience the
real thing
FLIGHT SIMULATOR
Of all behind the scene, this is my FAVOURITE, who doesn't love to be inside of the cockpit (even it's a simulator, a real simulator for pilots!). Ada 6 simulator yang ada di Garuda Indonesia Training Center, mulai dari A320, A330, Boeing 737-800, hingga Bombardier. Satu sesi latihan untuk pilot dengan menggunakan simulator ini biasanya berlangsung sekitar 4 jam, namun kami "pilot ala ala" cukup sekitar 10 menit saja merasakan take off dan landing. Simulator ini dapat mereplika visual di berbagai area di penjuru dunia, kami dapat memilih kondisi cuaca juga yang diinginkan (such as snow in Kuala Lumpur? LOL).

There are 6 simulator in Garuda Indonesia Training Center, ranging from the A320, A330, Boeing 737-800, to Bombardier. One training session for the pilot using this simulator typically lasts about four hours, but we as "pilot ala ala" (fake pilots) it is only about 10 minutes to feel the take off and landing. This simulator can replicate the visual in various areas around the world, we can select the desirable weather conditions (such as snow in Kuala Lumpur? LOL).
MAINTENANCE FACILITY & HANGAR
With that complicated engine dan system that could carry hundreds of life, airplane maintenanca is crucial. Kami mendapatkan quick tour around the facilities untuk melihat sebagian proses maintenance, servis rutin dan perbaikan baik di area indoor maupun hangar. I'm not an engineer but who doesn't love to see these?!

Those are some of the behind the scene of Garuda Indonesia, should be appreciating more of what usually just a flight, kudos to all the crew!
@marischkaprue - usually don't have a chance to simulate
things but she's excited for the real things that happens during traveling
