kabadi,
you can always see Ralf (its Ralph, I think) and ask him what is his expectations. It is a known fact that MAS's QA orals are even tougher than DCA's.. Getting an approval especially initial is like asking for a life... tongue.gif

It is a known fact that there's a wide world shortage of LAEs.
Also, I just heard from someone in MAS, they could use about another 1000 LAEs to cater for fleet expansion and 3rd. party works.
If you got a license, the future is yours... wink.gif

Latest I heard from AA.
Their trainees will be given soft loan from the company to go for EASA programme and examination. They will be bonded and will have to repay the soft loan later in the region of RM800-1000 a month!
Bond and payback, now who have heard of that!

I'd say this is a tricky question!

For all I care, you can service any aircraft you want, only thing is you can't certify any of your job. Someone having the appropriate type rated approval or O system will! tongue.gif

Okay the complete question:
If you are a licensed aircraft engineer for Boeing 747 aircraft, do you think you are capable to service a Boeing 737? Please explain why.

No, you cannot. You degree is of no value.
To be a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer in Malaysia you need an AMEL (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer's License) issued by the DCA Malaysia, NOT not a degree/diploma/whatever.

To be issued the AMEL, you need to qualify, sit and passed the LWTR (License Without Type Rating) examination conducted by the DCA. Details are spelled out in the BCAR Section L (Licensing). This is the requirements of the MCAR (Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulations).

Let me make some corrections/clarifications here.

Dato' Hj. Azharuddin Abdul Rahman is the DIRECTOR GENERAL of the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia!
His last post was the the Director of Airworthiness Unit, DCA.

Yes, he was an LAE from MAS working with the widebody aircrafts.. my senior.

With EASA license, you can be issued with the DCA's AMEL by taking and passed the Paper 1 examination, Air Legislation.

Very true, AirAsia is using EASA-66 modules for the Engineering Program. A 4 year course.

No more intake currently. There MAY BE fresh intake next year subject to fleet growth and expansion. Priorities are given to internal staff for career development.

Agreed with Dato' Azaharuddin, either go with MAS, AA or Transmile. Other than these, your application will be scrutinised and may be rejected for not meeting the minimum standards.



QUOTE(maryjane9996 @ Dec 2 2008, 01:15 AM)
hi.
i got some info for u guys.
yesterday evening(since 1 oclock d),ive met Dato Azaharruddin
which is DCA Head of Director to seek for information.
He is LAE since 1976.He got 3 type rating.I ask him which place is good for TAME.
What he said is,MAS AirAsia and Transmile.Why ?
because they all working on live aircraft and they are stable and reputable company.Some more,if u take at APR,better u confirm what job u will got when u apply for work.Its not worth your
money if u work with MAS,but u just repair the seat or the toilet.lol.
And, for who wan enter AirAsia,
this year intake already finish.They only take 58ppl for this year.
The next intake will be after SPM result.
DCA also provide TAME.But,they stop at the moment.
And,Transmile and AirAsia are EASA license.
And,how to obtain type rating ? u need to sit for exam.cannot simply buy.
The conversion procedure,got your LWTR then seat for Air Law paper.
Good luck to all.

Correct.
It would be beneficial if you're an SPM school leaver.
If you have a degree/diploma, you're be starting all over although MAS's minimum qualifications is a diploma with more than 2.7 CGPA. AA still SPM.

QUOTE(masconan @ Dec 2 2008, 05:06 PM)
Thx a lot. Now I understand. tht means i need to study all over again to enter this field. Really a NO NO for me.
Oil n Gas is under my consideration..

Hello friend!
There is no one else higher than the Director General except the Minister of Transport!
I am merely correcting your mess with 'head of director' and what nots!

Off course. 3 years, 3 1/2 years whats 6 months, right? laugh.gif

charles,
my question again is what do you need to know about EASA?
It doesn't matter how much I know about EASA, right? I already have my AMEL! laugh.gif I am also teaching my trainees based on the EASA-66 modules. You need to know the syllabus? specific modules?
APR? The owner is ex-DCA surveyor. Also a friend of mine. He knows the 'tricks of the trade' wink.gif He's the MASTER, what better way to learn but from the Master? biggrin.gif

Yes. You are correct! You are only issued with an LWTR which have NO priviledges what so ever.
Your type rating is a Company License/Approval, under that authority of an M1 approval.
So, unless your LWTR is endorsed with a type rating, technically it is still an LWTR.

No not new concept.. during my days we are typed rated by the DCA.. the Fokkers and B737s.. wink.gif

Sorry for the 'confusion'...

QUOTE(hirari @ Dec 3 2008, 12:27 AM)
Just to make sure if i understand this correctly, we can't say that we have an AMEL until we got our type-rating, am i right?

Because from what i already understand is that, when we passed the exams with DCA, we only going to get the LWTR, correct? And in order for us to have full privilege of an LAE or to have a "full license" so to speak, we must obtain our type-rating first, do we not?

Or is this AMEL thing is a new concept implemented by he DCA? Or has DCA started to follow EASA?

The word says it all! THEORY OF FLIGHT.

The thing that you do with theory is read, read and more reading.
A lot of thing to memorizes, a lot of thing to understand.
If you can't grasp the basic thing about theory of flight, I am afraid you're not cut out to be an aircraft engineer.

APR good or not you have to ask their trainees personally. Rather than reading feedback here, why not drop in their place have a look around. The boss there will be more than willing to give you a briefing/guided tour.

One thing for sure, their training program is recognized by DCA and they have been around for MANY years. What does this tells you?



QUOTE(charles8907 @ Dec 2 2008, 10:47 PM)
ok. since u teching yr trainee. I wan ask u how is get better understanding on theory of flight & flight control. I quite weak on tis.

Is APR good for trainee? I mean almost all the training r good. But tis college wat is the good for trainee?

Like NIUC they offer 1st EASA program in Malaysia after MAS, AA, Transmile oni follow it.

It doesn't matter what you graduated in.Your degree is 'useless'. You will start from zero.
With a business degree, why the need to go into aircraft maintenance? doh.gif

QUOTE(DT8 @ Dec 3 2008, 12:53 PM)
If I graduate with Business Degree, am I still eligible to be LAME? do I have to take the course all over again?
