One more thing, does this field require good eyesight? I found such requirement from MAS website. Does it really important to have good eyesight?

@leewai: it is good that you interested in this industry 'BUT' this is an industry where you really need to do to get it.. unles u have so much money to take exam across the sea and 'cable' thg to help you to get into the industry...
ok first question, do you like working under pressure (it is worse than hearing ya mom babling) for the whole days...
second; spend nothg but devote ya self to the books for years (even after fin. study) only to get 'failed' transcript/cert...
third; willing to teach others from what you've learned?

dont give the answer, its for you to think... for ya first last question, which one you like most; working while studying or studying then working? second last question depend on medical checkup

@Kabadi84: i second that... only people who had gone through all the hard work will appreciate what infront of their eyes ;p

hmmm..i never enter miat but i asked miat guys and most of them said that MIAT is not good!!Even MAS also now didnt send their trainee at MIAT coz lot's of them fail.Some of them said the lecturer is not good.One of my friend who studied at MIAT said that he also dont know wht he study there and it's like wasting his time..I know coz i asked Miat guy who OJT at MAS...

for TJT,they will only give u B737 type course...i think lv2

I don't get what you mean here . What do you mean by 'need to do to get it' and 'take the exam across the sea' ? Sorry, thanks!

Is TAFE Seremban a good place to study Aircraft Maintenance Technology?

easy to say, its not easy to get ya license, trust me... it different than what they practise to become an engineer out there... pls check bcar section L.

http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?cate...de=detail&id=54

currently you have choice to take the license either locally here in malaysia (which is quite hard to pass but cheap), or take it at uk/scotland which cost you more money... you can take a degree in aircraft maint. + license either at glanmorgan (wales) or kingston (uk) provided you already get ya diploma in a/c maint. from approved training school which is MIAT of course...

for ya last question, tafe college do have a lots of problem than miat in terms of getting their approval from dca ... so better not go there.


@bonzaimy: since ya already in the system pls take a good look of ex miat student around you... tell me how many already take their dca exam? ya'll be amaze...


*attention for those who already go to mas 'tjt' aptitude test, ya result out already, so pls contact hr to conform ya interview date ;p

duh...i don know la...most of them told me about this..even my instructor also said like that..dont blame me coz of what they said...sometimes they also dont know why they enter miat..hahaha...just feel pity for them...


Taking exam at DCA is slow..i agree with that but u have to put more effort on study..i saw all the trainee study for HUMAN FACTOR book and is dam thick!!!Even after u apply for the exam,u have to wait for 6 month to get the date and confirmation....

TAFE collage i don know much about it but i hate their shirt(can i say shirt?)..really hard to open when u wanna go toilet coz the suit is come with the shirt.....(aiya...like pomen kereta)

fyi most of us already sit for the exam... and yes it takes time to see the progress... but not only human factor... have you seen caaipcaaip? both part 1 and part 2? can you finish. it? hehehe most people think its not worth it to go through the book, not even 'miat' mas trainee... why? there are no institution in the world that can make you succes unless you learn it ya self... dont blame others when you failed ask those 'miat' tame student, did they do revision with hj zahir? or mr. hyder? or others engggineer who come to give 'extra' class during night and weekends. do they aware of the situation? siapa yang berkehendakkan ilmu? the techer or the student? then is it wise for the teacher spoon feed the student for the rest of his/her life? man you need to go and experience it ya self, not only rely on others comments

anyway you still need to wait another 3 years before submit ya can dca form right?

huhuhh ahaw ahaw... dah dah sibuk je gie study hang tu nak pekse minggu depan ??? amacam are u ready my frend ...btw plez be ready with "hantu " it will help u dearly iin ur exam ....

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.

hi,

I also hope to work as an aircraft engineer. however, i dont have good eyesight (i need to wear spec) and i am naturally handicapped for my left leg (i used to wear a prostetic). as the topic say it is to repair/maintain aircraft then the plane landed or whatever, do i need to climb up climb down to check the plane myself, or i will be a senior which order other people to repair and my job is only to ensure that the plane is safe?

if i have to climb up and down to check the plane, i doubt myself can do it however, is there any job relating to aircraft, like to make aeroplane with boeing company or other? and i can sit in office, design and plan for the structure, etc etc.

now i am just form4 student and i have to plan what to study already because i wanted to go oversea (australia) to study! and working around aeroplane is my ambition since i was small.

i have found 3 courses which is suitable for me i think, the link below are their website. pls do give me some advice and comments. thank you!!!


Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Avionics)

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical and Space Engineering

@lazo: with that degree, you can apply to any aircraft maint. organization.... e.g; sapura tech. (works with simulator of coz) details ask kabadi.... then at mas you can apply for technical services enggineer, or avionics workshop enggineers... if you want to become a lecturer, be happy to send ya resume to miat

anyway this is additional info about Aircraft Maintenance Trainee;

@kabadi: exam lepas raya...

what do you mean by simulator? i am so interested to CERTIFY an aircraft their fitness to fly as in the MAS website u showed me.

however, their website say this i am worry that i can't qualify

kabadi!!!.... anyway maintaining aircraft simulator of course... almost the same as the real cockpit but the diff. is that it just a simulator, full electronics ;p

about the medical checkup, leave it to the panel doctors... usually they just close one eye, but if you have color blind... sorry choose mechanical trade instead ;p

Thank you very much for your information!!
Really hope my naturally handicapped and short-sightedness does not affect my ambition

So should I join the MAS LAME or take aerospace engineering courses first? Is the MAS LAME recognized internationally or just in malaysia?

So when we graduate the training or obtained the license, do we have chance for a convo or to wear a robe? My parents always hope i can wear a robe and finish a university degree level!

Last but not least, if i took the MAS LAME, and what will I work in the airport after the training? Will I be driving the cars, loading/unloading largage or doing things like this or will be a better-position one?

Thanks.

seems like you r still not really understand the job-scope. Well, if u take blar blar blar degree in aerospace engineering or what ever, it is useless stuff. To work as a LAE/LAME, u r required to obtain a license but not degree. eventhough u r a degree holder, u still need to be a TAME 1st before u work as a LAME. Everything is starts from TAME 1st. A LAME who born from...... wherever, he will b still a LAME, the license is recognised worldwidely. So no worries, u'll never need to convert your license, u can work in any country u like hehe...

for those who driving the "ketam" or loading stuff, they were not LAME larh... hahaha just an ordinary ground support staff.



p/s: i'm from penang too, currently in form 6. (frm CLB)

kabadi...../ahaw/ or...... whoever... correct me if i'm wrong

!! helo. i am from jitsin form4 now started planning my future already. haha

that's cool. i will look for more infomation about TAME n LAME ^^

SPM -> TAME -> LAME

Can anyone here explain more about the TAME/LAME career scope? what is included in their job?


thank you

if u want be an licensed aircraft engineer, you should start from TAME hehe... the career scope, which part u dun understand? I may eleborate it to you.

Do u have any idea where I can start TAME?

Is it to join the MAS's training?


I found this from SIA website

If I were to work with SIA, should i get a degree for above mentioned courses or I can take the training and get license thru MAS's training, then go to work for SIA? (sounds pengkhianat, haha)

Besides, which institution offer the TAME -> LAME courses/lisence?

For MAS's training, i think that there will be a bond with MAS after finishing their training right? If so, anyone know how many years do they bond you?

thanks
