eheh..tertinggal.. tu GE.

some more 'internal' update. transmile interested ngan lwtr wannabe and there will be interview in august. mr hyder will update me soon.

which one is better? in terms of salary n future advancement, transmile, air asia, or mas?

hmm..mas batch sent to miat last time perfrom badly ke? they got their own syllabus different from miat, maybe they should blame their syllabus which was prepared by ...hmmm... MAS?

anybody went to MAS interview last saturday? can you tell me what post they offer? and maybe about how much they are paying

u guys are babbling bcar,caaip,kingston,dca,bla2.. and names of people that they don't even care to know to these newbies. don't get to carried away guys. the topic is aircraft repair engineer. make it useful for others.

btw, i don't think u need MIAT dip to enter glemorgan or kingston. but u will have to go thru complete course duration which i think around 4 yrs. with any related cert/dip, u will get exempted accordingly (depend on the university). just choose any place of study wisely or go straight to airlines apprenticeship.

elo kabadi...just back from exam? your batch exam? how you're doing? jurassic age paper ya..hahaah

welcome onboard kevin! aviation world is never too small for u to join. passion is the key to be a very good LAE. if your passion is with large aircraft (wide body), then it's best to join company or airlines that offer such training program. i'd say it's almost sure fire way to be LAE. i never heard any company that train u to be LAE for general aviation (small plane, private jet, heli), but even if there's any, it won't be as structured as in airlines (i think most of LAE of general aviation learn by their own and job experience). choose wisely according to what u wanna do everyday for many years to come..heheh.

general aviation rocks!

Good luck to all 2nd batch miat guys who gonna seat for lwtr tomorrow..
collect soalan ya

I'm officially the first batch of rotorcraft a&c candidates from miat
be demm that basic engineering questions.. hey, air leg is not that hard. just memorize the essays..oops.

err..there're not much they can ask on essay..u can spot them n memorize. u'll know what to memorize as u go down the line.
ehem

any miat guys here that sat for DCA exam last april? rumours said only 1 pass and 3 partials out of 10++ candidates. that's kinda sucks...

anyone here can confirm?

welcome to all newbies

3 ppl pass? 1 both A&C?
they're all my batch but i never heard any of them taken A&C unless he sat for rotorcraft license... and that's me and my other friend.just 2 for rotorcraft.if 3 ppl pass, that's good enough..

pal33x, dont worry about about easa for now if u plan to go m'sia license. u are also from miat? u should know how by now.unless u sleep in air leg class

I agree that training school do not need DCA aproval to train people. But the way i see it, the TAME trainees are part-time study+OJT (based on what i see in MAS). so near the end of the program, they would have qualify for the exam (4 years experience in aviation). In DCA approved training school, a trainee can apply for exam at the end of his 3rd year (AN85). 1 year less could mean something or nothing. and there is no requirement for a person to go thru a training school to apply for exam. pure experience and self-study, that is how private individuals did it. but training schools provide shortcut and almost sure fire way to become engineer.

wins and agent, don't worry about being bonded. look at it as an agreement that secured your job rock solid.

in case anyone mistaken, i'm not part of any TAME program
but i don't mind to share and learn myself.

i don't recall MAS ever announce its TAME intake before. may be i just miss it. but i think they already start to do so now. go check up their website. u can join also AK and Transmile Tame program if u don't mind working with those company. The way i see it, any TAME program is sure way to be a LAME

thanks iirnii for quoting me...i almost ditching this thread from must-read lyn threads. i seconded kabadi, engineers need to decide in a second or lose money/life/credibility

this EASA talks are contradicting each other between those who talks and those who actually going thru it (esp. in malaysia and malaysia not yet adopting EASA). and guiding new comers thru this rubbish is troublesome ler...

in short.. go join MAS/AA/Transmile/etc TAME program and u'll almost guaranteed of being LAME in 5 years (EASA or oldies BCAR isn't your concern coz they'll groom u to their plan).

or go join MIAT/TAFE/Nilai if u want an academical diploma cert which could give a helping hand if u have trouble in aircraft maintennce or if u planning to go further, say get a degree (but useless for aero/mech engineering degree path) well, miat was much in hype nowadays..dca approval and all.. o yaa.. u'll have to get your LAME by yourself after the diploma. for this route i suggest reading AN no. 85, i think i posted the pdf copy before.

how useful is this diploma outside aircraft maintenance? i heard one is working with astro, my guess is technician la. one of my close friend is currently with oversea-based power engineering company, a techinician-almost-engineer with handsome pay

Xtain, do u see your route now?

there are already students who sat for lwtr after finishing miat before this MTO approval just complete dca application form with your aproved work schedule and submit thru miat. i believe they still sticking to this process.

and as i said before, sure fire way to be LAME, join TAME program. u can choose from mas,airasia or transmile. expect competitions, of course.

ask more specific questions, a lot of people here are willing to help...like jabu

as per regulation, dca approved training school trainees are allowed to apply for lwtr at the end of 3rd year training program (miat dip is 3.5 years). previous students only sent their application just before they leave miat. as trainee, u have to apply thru the school to get the previlege.

i heard they even received foreign students now..

miat entry exam is just to test your english, IQ and a lil general knowledge. u must know the basic math n physics tho (esp. those related to force,lift,flight,etc). of course it's adjusted to SPM level. don't worry about it. u seem enthusiastic enough so it won't be a problem.

u will go thru lwtr just like others, there're two stages. first, written exam then oral exam. there're duration from your application to the day they call u for written exam n if u pass, to your next oral exam. the duration could be months. it's dca thing, i can't tell why it's that long. if u fail ur exam, u may re-sit following a further period of at least 3 months with additional work schedule.

any training school trainees should say it not THAT hard. just don't slack too much in class. it really help a lot. a lot of aviation veteran agree today generation are lucky coz we have training school around.

IF it's true what the Nilai college claims, EASA 66 blablabla, after u passed, u will get ur license after several years of working (for experience). how can someone who just read books can release an aircraft, right? anyway, u can convert to malaysian license with a simple malaysian air law exam. some of my friends are taking this course overseas, right, rafale? previously there are none in malaysia, nilai could be the first.

4 years experience is the 'manual' way, that's how the vets LAME did esp those in general aviation. this what i meant todays generation are lucky.

most people viewed easa standard as higher, therefore, better. malaysia will embrace it but only time will tell but the transition has started. local company that operate internationally have already move towards it (the airliners). as usual, this transition isn't that smooth. either way u choose, just stick to it till the end. or u will end up taking longer time.

just curious, why not TAME program, ingkien?

u can read the thread from the start. it has more answers than i'm willing to type

i don't think TSE need lwtr. but vacancy is really limited. and u are actually competing with those 'normal' engineers.

mowkey,
u are correct, if u are saying that, 2 years ago. local airliners now demand diploma grads for their TAME program.

and true, LAME don't require u to have diploma, degree or whatever.

contradictory statement, right?
