Thanks you very much for mowkey and lestat...now i have no doubt to enter MIAT this july

Lestat..could i ask u something?
Are u LAME?(In Helicopter).How many licensed you hold right now?r u ex-MIAT or Ex TAME?
How many years u involved in aviation career?

And one last thing..may i know how much ur salary and company u work?

Dont get me wrong..I just curious about LAME's job........

Yeah, Now study inside for the first semester mean enter this Jan 2008. Now is going to be end of the sem. The study is abit different from others. So you waiting for 5th June 2008 for your results? I hope you will get it. Hehe. I also don't want to go for form 6 so i study lower 6 finish and enter.... That will make me more good in English in sciences terms. You is ok because all is conduct in English.

The interview you must know what you gonna do inside. Hehe, don't speak Malay or you will be gounded. ENGLISH is the mother language for aviation.

Now doing wire locking and make my hands break into pieces after I found the correct way.... Hehe,

Because senior all not in conducting traning and OJT at MAS. The most good i like is, all training is in MAS and instuctor, notes all from MAS. Poly does not have ir own hanger as it is going to be build soon. Maybe now in blue print....

mowkey, heli use avionics too, u know..haha. avionics lae are lucky coz there no differences from airplane avionics and heli avionics. they just need to be type-rated. unlike airplane airframe lae whom need to be converted to heli airframe AND heli engine lae.

from what i have seen, avionics lae in a heli company is the highest paid lae i've met so far. not to mention the most relax too. envy them. haha. basically, it's all about supply and demand. there are less heli lae around. there are also less avionic lae around. but avionic has a lot more trades that u can add to ur license. eg: radio, electrical, autopilot,etc. unless u stop at single trade, ur pay would be just like most laes. and a company don't need a lot of them coz their work load isn't as much as airframe &engine laes. still, the industry still need more avionics lae as well as other trade lae.

ahaha...im not LAME. not yet. hopefully it's just a matter of time. u can expect lae salary from 4k and above. varied according to number of of types u have n what kind of business the company involved. in heli business, company that serve oil n gas industry get paid better.

when we talk about salary, it always sound bigger than the real thing. u don't get the big paid for free. consider also work load, responsibility, accountability, facilities, benefits, bla2... i have friends who get big pay for working in africa but guarded all the time by army. guess what the army for?

and consider also your journey to be an lae. many veterans said, we are lucky we have training school now locally. we don't become lae just attending the course. the way i see it, training school are producing manpower skilled enough to work in the industry (that is as technician or similar level). just remember this, don't ever consider to stop at this level. at the rate of current training school churning out their students, the industry will be saturated with them. finishing the course, either with cert, dip or degree doesn't make an lae. students still have to go thru dca of malaysia for license. TAME program or equivalent found in most airlines are a program that specifically put up to produce lae for their own use. i think i can safely say, the students/trainees must become an lae or their out for good.

to all, i wanna suggest those with background in aviation to use common terms. there a lot of fresh faces here who are not familiar with some terms or abbreviations. not to mention MCAR, AN, bla2. hopefully we all can share experiences and help each other.

@Prince Handsome: u are accepted for MIAT this july? Congrats!

@lestat: Thanks for the explanation. Another thing, how do you think the oil inflation will affect the aviation industry? Not very much? Greatly affect?! Heh I just wanna hear your opinion

I got the tawaran to the diploma penyenggaraan pesawat in politeknik but the intake will be on January 2009 =/ still have to go for lower 6 for now ^^"

And more easy

hai. hai...... can i know where can get finiancial of RM65K to RM100K?? except bank loan...........

its been a while for me to see wat is the info bout LAE programme thru this forum..
it helps me alot..
thanks guys who have shared every little thing bout this programme..
if i hv d chance to go for it, ill leave everything to get into the training..

i called MIAT last week, asking bout this programme, the marketing manager told me that MIAT is going to hv an EASA.. but still in progress..
it takes only 2 years.. and then u can hold the license.. but not approved yet..
after training in 2 years with live aircraft, then u cn hv the license (of course after u pass the exam by DCA)..
he told me to call him on this coming August for the EASA confirmation..

Last time got personnels from the CAA (British aviation authority) came to MIAT. I think they came to check the syllabus module offers in MIAT and probably edit it to make it comply with the EASA module.

for now, leave the rumors n hype aside. if u interested with miat or any other place, straight go and ask them what they can really offer. i have seen people just drop out of the system or deviated when they listen to rumors.

License Aircraft Engineer Vendor/Recruiter.

In Malaysia for Malaysia Airlines, we are currently prepared to offer
LAE's RM 133/HR, and usually LAE clock in an average of 220 hours/month.

I may be reached at lae.office@gmail.com

I thank you kindly.

Whoa.. good offer! I thought vendors are paid in the region of rm80-rm90 per hour with a minimum of 162 hrs per month. This is quite an improvement!

Hey all can anyone help me. I want to be an aircraft engineer but I'm stuck in between doing mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering.Which one should I do?........also is there another way that I can become an engineer or LAE without going to university?
And can anyone recommend a good school or academy for this course?
]Thanks for the reply[

I dunno about Malaysia.
As for SG, minimum requirement is Diploma (engineering) to be eligible for TLAE(Trainee Licensed Aircraft Engineer).

I'm going to sign 8 years contract with a sg aviation company soon.
8 years seems like too long for me.
anyone knows how long contract for MAS or SIA?

have anyone got any idea for category x?...

Will a diploma graduate able to get a job? Someone mentioned in another forum that a diploma holder will have tough time finding a job. And what is the minimum years of contract we have to sign as a fresh graduate?

May i know wat kind of programme tat MIAT goin to do?
Did Nilai international university college offer the EASA programme is good?

better than nothing. i guess. hehehe... i think those who don't have any experience really struggle to get a job. Not just in Malaysia, but around the world. My friends did told me that to get a job, you better try your luck on light aircraft first. but I'm not really sure, maybe it depend on your luck. correct me if I'm wrong. anyway, it might be your second plan.

for contract, i guess around 3-6 month, if you are contract worker. hehehe... someone please clarify..
thank you...

mmm I've given some consideration into switching my career from a Hardware engineer (semiconductor company) to the aviation line. I'm 25 (mechanical engineer), could anyone roughly guide me what are the options available for me? Yeah, know there's long thread over here, but it roughly emphasizes on the SPM/STPM entries, and not the current job switching options. Appreciate if someone could input some reliable statements
