One of the reference materials would be the jeppesen book, which is based on the AMP book.
Yes,MIAT students do refer to the book besides others...

Why do you worry about what has been posted and what other people are saying?
YOU are an AirAsia Engineering Trainee. We only have the best, you were the best selected among the hundreds/thousands that applied.

We have a 5 year long schedule for you to completed and at the same time satisfy the minimum requirement set by the regulatory body for you to be eligible to sit for LWTR or EASA license whatever the case may be.

All you have to do is just concentrate what you have to do and work HARD to get THAT LICENSE! Anything else is NOT worth your concern.

Point taken. However 'fuming' doesn't seem to be right choice of word here. Are you really fuming?

This is an open forum, anyone can make whatever claims or statement here and NO ONE has the responsibility to put things right... I certainly do not follow this thread closely and will only make necessary remarks as deem necessary.
You can always channel your concern through proper channels which is through your training executive who reports to the responsible manager. Bear in mind,the Engineering Trainee Program in under the purvue of the Engineering Department,they are the one that should be in position to resolve any queries/concerns about the program. The Academy is there to fullfil the Engineering Department requirements.

Your questions are NOT annoying at all. How can it be? I am an Instructor, I get all sorts of questions! It's part of the job!
However the way you put/relay the questions through wrong choice of words can and may be misinterpreted. Sometimes, it is better to hold on until a face to face meeting/discussion session to resolve 'sensitive' issues rather than asking through typed words in a forum... also, there is the internal email if you have NOT forgotten!

Try to be 'tactful' the next time k.

Take it easy...

dun blame yourself entirely. the system did NOT prepare you for it.
for what it is worth, you now have a taste of what is in store for you...

SPM is the minimum qualification. Score well in your Physics, Mathematics and English.
MAS however has raised the minimum to diploma for the TAME training.
Good luck, do your best.

Hundreds of life is an understatement.. think again.

The statement that is bolded, who are you referring to? Who is 'they'?
The minimum age for LWTR as per BCAR Section L is 18 years of age, minimum. Maturity has nothing to do with it. In apprenticeship training, the candidates have to start young in order to learn the trade, and the training is hard and long, hence the early age of 18 (not to start, but for the EXAM qualifying)
Please DO NOT get mislead if you have a diploma even a degree would ensure you a place. This course are only meant for specific kind of people with specific talent and attitude and not many have the cut to qualify.The interview process will filter out the non-qualified candidates. If you're in only for the money, you'll regret it. But if you're in for the challenge and passion certainly you'll get the rewards.

'Nuff said.

So what do you really wanna do?
Fly or get your hands 'dirty'?

My guess is (I m NOT from MAS) they're trying to raise the standards..
Current Form 5 leavers as compared to the good old days is of 'lower standards'. Most can't even converse English to an acceptable level, let alone written English. Sorry to say but somehow our education standard has lowered..
So the next best step is diploma holders...

Your other issues.. I wont comment.. for now.

About 'hundreds of life'.. imagine you certifying for a job done on the aircraft. Aircraft flies 10-12 hours a day. Every flight carries 180(A320) passengers. Average flight ,short sector is 1 hour, so 10 flights per aircraft per day. 10 X 180= 1800 passengers per day per aircraft. Certainly you DO NOT certify ONE aircraft but the WHOLE fleet. Do your maths..
FYI, your certification will be valid and kept until 2 years after the aircraft has been withdrawn permanently from service.
Look at this scenario: MAS has been operating its B737-400 for 20 years... my certifications are still kept in the archives and subject to scrutiny if there are 'incidents'...FYI, I left MAS 7 years ago..

DIY ler.. masuk private school like APR.. MIAT (maybe) or work as a technician and get the license on your own effort.. hard but NOT impossible.

It was an eleventh hour invitation which I would have come but had an earlier appointment, so had to give it a pass. Maybe (IF) there would be a Hari Raya Gathering later, I'll make an effort to be present...

ahaw, thats a good proposal !

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI to everyone here and the aviation industry from me.

Thats the idea of an apprenticeship training in the first place. You'll learn the tricks of the trade from the 'masters' of the trade. Who are the masters? Basically the engineers themselves! You'd be surprise how the experienced/seasoned engineers approach to technical problems.. their troubleshooting skills and above all the DECISION MAKING process.These are the skills NOT tought in the text books. These are what the apprentice were supposed to observe and learn when they're doing the OJT. Also the technicians/mechanics. They have many 'tricks of the trade' up their sleeves, these are the things you(the apprentice) need to pickup and learn!

Glad to say that the AA Academy took a step further by assigning a 'mentor' instructor to a particular batch of trainees, basically to see their progress academically, provide guidance where necessary and give them advice and talks for motivation. Can be done individually or group session.
The future success for the company and our local aviation industry depends of these new generations.

I have done my part, time for me to share the experience and give the guidance. If you can't be better than me, at least be as good as me which is NOT impossible. Thats my challenge to my trainees.

I am NOT your instructor? You're not in AA no?
No, I am NOT the grandmaster... I m just a plane instructor

Why don't you give them a call? Not sure if it's on their website.

Which part of your brother's future is worrying you?
The only thing you should be worrying is if he did not put in his best while training. He needs your full support. Morally and probably financially(some)

Correction:
AA is offering Engineering Trainee Training. Advertisement in local daily and internet.
Can't answer for MAS. Anyone?

As far as AA is concerned, this year NO MORE intake. Two batches this year. Second one coming in soon.
Next intake probably Feb/March 2008. Look out in the newspapers and also the website: www.airasia.com

If you're referring about trying with AA or even Transmile, why not. APR included.
I wouldn't know how MAS would view a pre-u lvl. Anybody from MAS want to qualify?

Yes.. I think 'most of us' out there/here somehow WAS from MAS
No was NOT from ANZ batches..they were all my 'juniors'. I am from the Dublin batch!
Middle East huh? Unless you know Roslee Wahid,Reggie to name but a few..

Dun worry about it. Make the best out of TAFE.
You have a long and interesting way to go
