aircraft maintenance engineer?
log on MAS webby to get the infomation ^^
abt this job u need to obtain a license from DCA and you will be called as LAME-licensed aircraft maintenance engineer.
salary ard 7K if not mistaken

its a very good prospect for the job you know. im currently studying at MIAT which providing courses in this field. when you get the licensed you can work all over the world. but you need to do it step by step. the first licensed is LWTR(licensed without type rating), this licensed can categorized into 3.A-Airframe,C-Engine,X-Avionics(R-Radio,I-Instruments,E-Electrical).you can choose which tread you like. if you are malay you can apply for Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology or you also can apply for TAME program under MAS. and you also can find out a pro courses conducted by APR in TTDI shah alam.

hey dude im a miat student also dude huhuhhh should i say x miat student huhuhuhu just finish taking my LWTR exam tadi huhuhhuhuh....actually its wasnt that hard as people said but heheheheh i study so so so is kinda hard huhuhuu...just pray i pass it weh what batch u from dude..

yah this job is great the work is chalengging n working with aircraft is sure fun but this job need a lot of patient because in order to get to the top need to do a lot of training n exam(LWTR..type rating n bla bla ....).. this industry promise a great future for u but is hard ..huhuhu saw some of the LAE in MAS having 4-5 k per month for fresh LAE .....huhu usually oversea LAE got better deal....imagine working with Emirates huhuuhhuh the money huhuhhuhuhu


p/s: MAS is one of the lowest pay u can get for an LAE huhhuhhu but is good for ur stepping stone they give a lot of training for their people

minimum requirement ppl? u guys have been giving a great green light for me ^^ i guess it might just be it

oh how to join?? FYI: i am 25yrold.

Well i did study aircraft mech in shah alam n already finish it almost 1 year back...but i still haven look for a job...now im still working as a part time...hurmm...

Does "aircraft maintenance" is part of the mechanical engineering courses ? If so , how do get the LWTR license ?

ermm u mean its hard to get a job?

as for u u need to get the MAS apperentice LAE program it usually required diploma student or degree to apply for the program from there u will given the proper training to become a full fledge LAE.. i think for MAS trainee is about 4 - 3 years training ...

As for the LWTR exam in order to take the exam u need at least 4 years of experience in aviation industry before this is shorter but due to the new AN in issue 9 the regulation for applying to become LAE become more stirct. remember in order to become LAE u need experience..in these field diploma n degree arent any good they judge u by the license u hold ....this just apply to malaysia for other country is different huhuhhhhhuh

i guess u really need to be patient and learn things step by step. My front door neighbour, he has become aircraft pilot instructor oready...but he more than 20yrs in MAS. His salary..around 20k now .

I guess if u can wait and reap the benefits, its ok then

yup these thing is hard to get but once u get it from what i seen is really worht it huhhhuhu imagine the stewardess huhhuh just kiding

I almost got an offer for the MIAT young teaching programme which they train to become LAE and bonded to become lecturer.

woaahhh u almost become my lecturer dude weh easy la for me to get yuecchi huhhuhhhhhuhuh....

First of all, I am getting graduating in the end of May as an Electronic Engineer.

Well, it's always be my dream to work in aviation field but I have given up on been a pilot. So anyone mind to give me an idea, what should i do now if I am planning to go in for the aircraft maintainance programme with having already an degree in my hand ?

My "brother-in-law" was an aircraft engineer with MAS 2+years back. He then applied for pilot for SIA and got it. Quit terus from MAS and went on to becoming a pilot. Now he's a first officer.

But he has to pay back money due to contract mumbo jumbo. But good life now he has.

diploma/degree in what??

in engineering im suppose mechanical / electrical .... Hey winds u can always try MAS as a choice try calling them .. i dont really know when is the intake for apperentice licensed aircraft engineering .... as for me due to my diploma qualification i entering MAS next month as a technician from there i will developt my self if cannot malaysia ..im thinking to take the licensed from uk or abroad i need to wait for my LTWR first la see if okay i stick doing in malaysia only .... the licensing is one of the complicated thing u need to understand before becoming an LAE.... i want too enter the apprentice program but i need to take 4-3 more years before taking LWTR as for now i used the qualification from miat to take the LWTR hope it will be okay huhuhhhhhhu so i can be an LAE as soon as possible n the prospect of me not bonding with MAS is nice ..after i got my licensed i can go to whatever airlines without any string attach with MAS huhuhhhuhuhh

if you are so giat.. and work OT when ever there is chance...
i bet your salary is over RM10k... PER MONTH
just to sit in the office and take a look @ the plane when it arrive..

dont give up your piloting dream and continue it!!!
