AMMAN- Muhammad Malhas has always dreamed of becoming a pilot, but his circumstances did not allow him to do so ... This 76-year-old Jordanian decided to build a cockpit in the cellar of his house to fulfill his dream of flying on virtual trips from the house."From eternity, a person has been watching birds in the sky and dreaming of flying freely," said Malhas, who worked for 35 years in the management of a private hospital that his father created in Amman, told AFP..He added in the cellar of his house, where I was stuck on the walls models of miniature aircraft and filled his library. He wrote about flying.Then I was born with a desire and love to fly..He continued, "My heart was always suspended in the sky and my dream to become a pilot, but the circumstances did not allow this, except that the passion remained in me all my life.".Thus, despite his preoccupation with the hospital administration after graduating at the University of "City of Western Coldge" in London in 1969, where he studied hospital management, he remained a salt to follow his hobby and read books related to aviation.In 1976, Malhas joined the Royal Aviation Academy to learn to drive a single -engine "Piper" plane, so he fled at dawn before he rushed to work in the morning in the hospital.He got the license two years later.Then he fell to nearly a contract at the Royal Parasinan Club and was flying weekly with a sailing plane.After 2006, a salt was flying by default through electronic aircraft programs, then he joined a global organization called "Verchawal Travik Stemolichen" that helps him fly in almost real circumstances with an air observer directing him."We were a group of about 30 to 40 flying amateurs from different countries of the world. We are talking to each other and flying hypothetically in our spare time," he says.."We were flying to Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, Cairo, Dubai, Jeddah, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Britain and the United States, we sometimes remain six hours sitting on computers as if we were flying on real trips.".Malhas explains that "it is more like deceiving the brain, by looking at you feel like you are flying in the sky, but you are in fact sitting in a safe environment relaxing on a chair inside your home away from the dangers.".Despite all this, Malm did not feel the real flight pleasure in front of the computer screen, so he decided to make a cockpit that simulates the interior design of the contempt in the Boeing 800-737 to feel more realistic, in the cellar of his home in the Raqi Dabouq neighborhood, west of Amman.He bought everything from the local market.He also obtained the chairs in the moon from the scrap market, and it was a bus.He put three large screens in front of him to feel the integration in his surroundings, through videos designed to coordinate with his movements to appear as if he was in a real flight in the air, where heaven, clouds, righteousness, rivers, forests and desert.It can also determine the weather during flying.It took three years to complete the project, with the help of a number of his friends from electronics and electrical engineers."I am working to switch the keys, watches and indicators with modern ones to make them respond to the plane's condition to appear as real at virtual flights," said Ahmed Fares, 25, a mechanical engineer and a friend of licking.."Upon completion, the indicators will read the height, the power of motor and fuel, and make the wings so that Malhas feels on a real plane," said Fares, who got acquainted with Malhas during the collective virtual aircraft rounds.."This cockpit has become a forum for aviation enthusiasts, as it sometimes comes to fly from them and enjoy flying around the world," Malhas says..-(AFP)
