spot on! that's why any EASA trainig do not need to be approve by DCA. but their exam must be approve by EASA. there is two thing to get EASA license.

1. enter 147 approval training school. after pass the module+95%attendance+OJT , u will need 2 years experience to get your license. (this is not available in Malaysia)

2. Get a 4/5 years experience + pass the module to get EASA license. you can either pass the module first or get experience first.

the 2nd choice is what transmile did...

(correct me if i'm wrong)

well i dont know how wrong or correct but from my understanding is like this...



1. enter 147 approval training school. after pass the module+95%attendance+OJT , u will need 2 years experience to get your license. (this is not available in Malaysia)
--if it is not available in malaysia than it is not DCA jurisdiction..since DCA follow the guidelines mostly from BCAR, i dunt think there is anything saying about Part 147, except for JAA and now EASA, which is equivalent to BCAR, and BCAR is accordance to law of the land created by Privy Council of, being advised by CAA UK..but CAA now follows EASA, but our regulation is modeled from BCAR..but BCAR in UK is now obsolete.. and they are not our sole adviser on our aviation regulations anymore coz DCA is still"old school" coz it still follows BCAR..

yes PART 147 training school is not available in malaysia yet, but PART 145 company can conduct their training for their staffs thus enable their staff to be recognized as properly trained by part 145 company, which means that company is EASA part 145 approved..if they have part 145 approval, they can bring the instructors from approved training school, EASA part 147 to teach and conduct examinations for that part 145 company staffs..so their staff can be certified in CAT A and either CAT B for having this sort of things..simple calculation is..staffs from part 145 are being trained by in house or third party instructor from part 147 is approved and it is like being in oxford training school or cse aviation or ast scotland..the regulation is not the fuss anymore tongue.gif




2. Get a 4/5 years experience + pass the module to get EASA license. you can either pass the module first or get experience first.

the 2nd choice is what transmile did...

(correct me if i'm wrong)


yup this one is correct..for example everything going on smooth for u to obtain a license from easa, u need to do conversion here in msia if u wanna work here la in msia..air regulations and some oral exam by dca..

thank you. a good  further information between 147 and 145 approval. what you just say is the what the transmile and other airlines that do EASA did right? mind to share is it all a/c maintenance in malaysia have 145 approval? mind u name it? or they just have DCA approval. because what i heard that EASA can also accept some maintenance that have their country approval. can somebody make it clear?
*
MAS for sure..they are collaborating with Lufthansa Technik instructors for CAT A the technicians and some A320 type courses for LAEs..others i hv no idea..i think if u look at their MOE, u will get it.




"because what i heard that EASA can also accept some maintenance that have their country approval. can somebody make it clear?"
-im not sure bout that, but 1 thing i know of is if the airlines wanted to have part 145, the EASA auditors will do the audits from time to time, to proved the competency of the airlines to maintain part 145 approval.

arigato..for your explanation. one ore question, since i think u like to do helicopter license as well, if someone got B1 fixed wing, what module he need to obtain helicopter license? (in EASA and DCA)


Added on November 15, 2008, 7:50 pm
he can work at company like SME Aerospace(see their website to see what their doing) . I got a friend with a degree working over there. But, if he want to get a license, he has to gain experience in maintenance. short or not, it depend on what course he willing to take. but normally 4-5 years to obtain a license. he will be as someone who have no experience (if follow aviation law)
*
first one,
from what i heard from my cables in MHS and Eurocopter, once u obtain a n c fixed wing(DCA) u will only do OJT 6 months in heli and taking extra module of rotorcraft..
so in that time, ull get good pay as junior lae..once u completed the 6 months ojt and passing all required exams, i think its only 1 module la, u hv to summit ur inspections of schedule works of heli to DCA and they will conduct the exam for conversion from fixed to rotary wing a/c..and after that..enjoy the good pay la tongue.gif

secondly,
technical services engineer (TSE) is also suitable, as they design for in house mod and repair and what they normally do is dealing with aircraft manufacturer directly for anything, beyond approval holder jurisdictions..they will have to obtain their tech service engineer licenses also from DCA, but the training under the company or airlines is 2 years

after i graduate than what? i still dont have a license right? so i have to work for any aviation company for 2 years until i get my license? so is it easy to get hired with just a diploma without license? whats the salary during that period?
*
when it comes to aviation especially for hired and public transport, no matter how much degree or master even phd u have is considered zilch if u have no license..so the ultimate goal is to obtain the licenses, and its quite pain in the neck actually, but thats the challenge which everyone shud take..dont u guys think so? hehe im a bit too far here tongue.gif..if u have diploma in ur hands meaning is that u have the experience working on aircraft and to get hired u work as a tech, or get into the lines and becoming a trainee eng..the thing is there is no easa part 147 here in malaysia, so that abit of problem here, so the 1st idea that i said above is the most suitable..
salary, no idea, but the starting is quite okay for single person to make a living, and 1 good thing being a mech is where u can ot kaw-kaw, end of the month, the basic pay is about the same with junior lae or slightly more tongue.gif..and by doing so is the humble beginning to obtain ur lwtr..why worries now? just study..i was more or less like u guys concerning bout the future and sorts, just follow the flow and and have urself a long term goal..and study at the same time..

engine written result is within this week...kak shida said so! shocking.gif

sorry to ask off topic question here. but this question was ask in my exams:
Can a License Aircraft Maintenance Engineer of a Boeing 747 service the Boeing 737??? Reasons?

Thanks so much for your answer.
*
can and cannot..

can if he already obtained b737 company approval from Manager of Quality assurance together with his b747 TR

cannot if he have b747 TR only..

are u sure that is the real question from ur exam? the grammar is..confusing..

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.
*
from my understanding pertaining to this question,
yes the Type Rated B747 LAEs are "capable to service" a boeing 737....
provided that...the person has undergone TR or at least General Familiarization course provided by approved maintenance organization..meaning is that anyone who undergone the type course or gen fam for 737 can carried out servicing of the aircraft as the question is concern be it apprentices..but not to release the aircraft with approved document (issuance of CRS) unless the particular lae is b737 and also b747 type rated..is this satisfactory?but this is just the surface as far as i am concern coz the answer only evolve in LAE privileges, if aircraft system, the answer will be lingered on the systems la tongue.gif

seriously, is this miat question? what subject was this question from?

i bet this question came from the QA. obviously, 747 LAE can't release to service a 737. is he capable to service or not depend on your company policy/MOE.

most probably from QA..
if miat ask this kinda question, then i bet for sure they wanna make u guys fail the exam..afaik, MIAT air legislation essay questions are mostly based on DCA toyols tongue.gif

Guys I need a big help over here. I'm doing my research paper currently regarding the aircraft panels. I would like to know whether there is rules or regulations in the FAA or any other places stated that the interior of an aircraft must be bullet proof??? I try searching but couldn't find it. My supervisor keeps stating there is such thing. So thanks a lot if you can link me to the appropriate place to search.
*
it depends on d requirement of manufacturer or the operator..

aircraft panels to be exact there are loadsa of panel..
but with bulletproof material,

Kevlar@Aramide is Dupont brand for bulletproof material..afaik on F50 and ATR 72 or maybe in any other turboprops, there are 2 outer layer for each side of the fuselage which made from kevlar material, to protect the fuselage from the ice chunk that is going to be flunked out due to the prop deicing and centrifugal force in high altitude flight..ice build up could be lethal when it hit the fuselage, do by having .50 inch of kevlar, no wucken forries tongue.gif..from manufacturer consent

as on aircraft turbofan engine especially on CFM 56 series,Trent892, GE 90, these engine is fitted with thick kevlar layer on the fan frame enclosed with dan cowl..on my experience working with airberlin PW4168 engine, their engine has this kevlar material, but MAS PW4168 engine has no kevlar,and i got the chance to ask my uncle who is the TC instructor(kenot tell names) he said that MAS has made evaluation for Pratt engine that in the even if the fan blade is kaput, it will not effect the integrity of the fan cowl to contain the centrifugal force penetrating the fan cowl..tats wat he said, dunno whetehr he bullsit me onot...


i am too lazy to make the research for u, since i donot have myboeingfleet.com password for u to make extensive research, i suggest u google AC43-1B(FAA) or visit www.caa.co.uk and search the CAIP content for it..if u wanna search for the kevlar fitted as the interior, i guess ure talking about close combat support aircraft such has combat support heli and the warthog.. google for Black Hawk and A-10 Thunderbolt for american aircraft, BaE Hawk for brit, Ka-50/52 for Russian heli..those are heavy reinforced aircraft with kevlar..
i bet these will help tongue.gif

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it's bulletproof cockpit door. And it's to prevent the plane from being hijack.
It has been years since the 9/11 terrorist attack. But I can't find any specific regulations stating that. There should be a stated regulation i think.

when it is regulated it is mandatory, and it is a mandatory mod,maybe it is FAA AD..no idea on how to access the ADs archive..
