    Flight Arrival symbol 

    Ihsan and I noticed that arriving flight icon was quite erroneous: the nose should still be pointing a little upward while landing. Nose down in the signboard below seems more like a crash.

      Art has its consequences. I think the artist tried to be artistic by making the odd symmetry between the icon on top and the one on the bottom.

      yeah. trying to make an obvious distinction.

      I never noticed that before. I wonder if the same icon is being used here in Melbourne.

      it would be interesting to see what other different symbols being elsewhere around the world

      my dad pointed this out a couple years ago. i think the designer relies on suspension of disbelief of the public to emphasize the difference between the two symbols… so that it is much easier to see which one is departure and which one is arrival without having to look for the landing gears

      yeah… lowering it down to general sense for public, not engineers and pilots

      it’s just a symbolical drawing rather than an accurate ‘engineering’ drawing, and as ihsan pointed out meant to emphasize the difference.. i’ve actually noticed the icon too, and accepted it.

      practicality supersedes accuracy here…

    Acceptance Test 

    It’s been a crazy week so I took a fictional day off by attending to a Factory Acceptance Test at the Emerson office. I returned to office but it was so late everybody had left for weekend.

    Dinner: egg wrap (telur bungkus) with white rice

    Prison Break rally. I can guess that Dr. Tancredi is still alive.
