I have some question here...
For a diploma holders without license, how much are they paid to become a technician? How much working experience do I need before I can take the license examinations?
I heard that Malaysia currently recognize BCAR section L license. What if i obtained EASA Part66 license, will I be recognize as a LAE?
How do someone get a license with type rating?

Agent47 whoever you are, Malaysia in this contact the DCA, IS using the BCAR section L as the requirements for LWTR. Please don't (ever)use the word 'recognize'. It is THE standard.
EASA 66 if for the EU (European Union), get it? If you have EASA66 license, you can work in the EU.
"License with type rating" now falls under Approved Organisation approval, please read the applicable AN issued by DCA. Classic aircrafts like the Fokker F27, B737-200s used to be typed rated by the DCA. Most general aviation aircrafts(small planes) are still is.

As how much diploma holders are being paid as technician, I have no idea.. but since you're don't have the necessary experience, you may start as a 'Junior Technician' before being upgraded to full Technician. A such, the pay may not be much.
This may lead to: Why bother getting the aviation diploma if you're going for your license, right?

Hi and salam to all,

Newbie here, from Ampang I've read some pages from the the beginning, some from the end of this thread discussion, really exciting read.. but am in a rush before I miss my Subuh prayer, so a couple of quick questions, if I may ask..

i. [Local] Female aircraft engineers... are there a lot these days? (I mean, did many survived the training years etc?)
ii. Age keeps being a subject, I have another one...how about those interested to apply TAME with MAS, but without any clue except how airplanes look like and are now in their very, very late 20s? Do you think there would be 'expiry date' on age for applicants?

Thanks in advance all, will be back for more!

Cheers



p/s: ok I hid the truth... I did have some engineering background, but that was like... 5 yrs ago... and I'm in totally extreme opposite end of this industry ever since.


pp/s: and reading thru the above post, now I sounded a wee bit like a dumb chick and clueless... (how airplanes look like?? Sheesh..). Anyway, forget about that image. This post came from someone truly awed everytime she's near any kinds of airports, gets weirdly delighted whenever she saw an airplane minutes before their landing or during their take-offs, not to mention how giddy she was inside those magnificent big birds, ever since she's young (and unreliably ignorant too, at the time, of the actual scene behind every single thing that moves there, just too preoccupied being wide-eyed with the awesome coolness all around). Just that she isn't familiar at all with the p.c. jargons and terms, and now in a serious career change / makeover thoughts. Lets just say I just discovered my passion, few years later than the general masses. So no matter how hard-hitting or disappointing or the no-nonsense your experienced shared views on these will be, I would really appreciate your honest feedbacks. Thanks all

hmmmm for if u relly like this job its sure kick some aSS hahaah just joking hmm there arent alot of girl in this industry but there are some who up to the challenge i do think a girl isnt suited for this for mechanical at least as for electrical i think okay la forgive me for being bias but if u know what i saw maybe u think the same or maybe not huhuhhhuh..... right know just seek for aplication and try if you instrested as for the age ...hmmm i think there isnt a probleem cause i even got an apprentice for the enginneer program age 28 something just join mas that time huhuhhh

I hope I don't have to kick some aSSes, but then if that's required to get into this field then I'll just go get my boots now, eh?

Anyway, I really do have strong feelings for this. Reading thru all 40+ pages did huge favor to rattle one's nerves, I know I did.. I mean, I was shaken up a bit reading thru some reality bites here and there about this line of work. I think I know what you mean when you say a girl might not be suited for this job. But as I've said, I've got strong feelings for this, and if I want to make this work, then I'll have to make it works. Right?

Besides, I don't mind starting from scratch part. Even at the age 28. And with a growing liking to airframe studies. (Yes, I know its Mecha side). After reading this thread's discussions, I am more challenged (and determined) to try my luck. Although the thousands of doubts are still there to haunt me, I still want to try.

Thanks Kabadi for your feedback, really appreciates them!


Gosh... reading your many, many valuable comments in this thread, sir, makes me want to turn from TAME with MAS to TAME with AK. Especially when there's some great similarities of the company's visions with the one I am working for now - our CEOs kept saying that the best asset the company has is the people [staff], and they invest a lot in making us the best place to work (which is why the decision to leave is so much painful, its like leaving a family). So reading your quote above does made me happy, I'm really glad to find those who values this sentiment in the field which I feel strongly about being part of it.

Shaken, not stirred, from my original plan of applying. If my application is open and read, and considered, then alhamdulillah. If things didn't go well, then I might try some more. But I am sure to keep an eye on this thread.

Keep up the good work, guys. I'm sure in many years to come, when some successful LAEs emerge, they would say that this thread, and its many sage 'sifus' commenting in here, guided them to be where they are. Salam, and cheers for now.

That means he entered metc last year when he was 16?
Are you SURE?

you must be 17 yrs old to take SPM.
unless you did well in PTS?

but

as far as i know, METC's intake is usually in September,
10 months after SPM.
How can someone joined at the age of 16.

just curious, correct me if im wrong hehe

hahahaha remember the guy who age 28 he even married and got a child huhuhuhhu ..spam a bit ....btw to cik irni there one girl here who currently doing mechi side and she is nearing her completion maybe u can get her feedback hows a girl would fare in this kinda working enviroment ..for me she did preetty good job suiting hersefl in the enviromnet ..so i do think is not impossible ...gambate kudasai just search for any advertisment and dont worry if i know any i will post it here for everybody

p/s: im just a child in this industry but if u want to know more just ask jazzy he is the 'mentor" here and he one of the good guy (bodek huhuhuhu mane tau nanti dapat lesen bole gie airasia huhuhuhuh ade cable besar nie )

girl? don't worry. there are 3 girls in my senior batch in AK, 2 girls in my batch, and 1 girl in the batch that's joining in january! i guess if you have the interest, you'll have no problems whatsoever. good luck to you!

underzoom,
i hope you and the others are doing well in the class/OJT as the girls, although they are the 'minority'.. they however usually perform well and consistantly at the top of the class!

I strongly agree if you have the interest and/passion in this field, it'll take you a long way. The (early)path that will be taken is no bed of roses, but it'll provide a very good basic foundation of the challenges that you'll be facing in the future. In apprenticeship style of training, you'll learn the trade the 'hard way'. Follow the 'master(s)' in everyway, emulate him as much as you can and this is how the profession give birth to the future masters if i may say so.. and if you're up to it, the rewards (in what ever form) is satisfying and I assure you, there's NO regrets or turning back.
Welcome to the world of aviation- maintenance/engineering. We keep the aircarft safe/airworthy!

I am also moved by iirnii's posting. Such a passion towards this trade especially reading through ALL the postings here! I am impressed!
iirnii,regardless of where you are for your training, the most important thing is our effort to become successful in the trade for the future of our aviation industry. Where you are is only the starting point of your career/future. To me, what matter most is where you will end and the contribution that you have done for the trade, profession, industry and the country.

Keep us updated with your progress. It is nice to know news from the others within the same trade and industry. Keep this forum alive, boys n girls!

Wishing you all the best!
