Thats why im here to see who can help me and guide me. perhaps i called miat there , they juz ask me to view the website they gave. haiz i just nid more guides to understand the procedure to become a LAE. between, if i finish the course in miat , can i directly test for the lwtr? i heard miat now is MTO already in 2008.

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

thanks lestat but i heard theres a lot of ppl joining the TAME programme every year. So i thk i will stick wif MIAT. My friend is going to go wif me too to study for LAE.

Between, can u explain *just complete dca application form with your aproved work schedule and submit thru miat.* coz i didnt get wat u mean by tat. I wish to noe more.. sry

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..

Oic, thanks lestat, i understood nw. How long does it take to finish the LWTR exam? i mean the period of having LWTR exam... and if i failed, how long can i retake for the exam? Heard tat its hard.
i've called MIAT there today, they said i've nid to pass the interview and an exam b4 can enter MIAT, so can i noe wat will they ask for the interview mostly and wats the exam about?

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.

Ic.. thanks.. but.. wat if i failed to enter MIAT.. maybe juz if...Coz every1 shld have an alternativ when the 1st cant go on right? where can i apply for this course again except for the TAME programme offered by the airlines. I heard theres Nilai College but it seems aft graduate from there we cant work in malaysia airlines or AirAsia.

can i do like this...

after graduate from nilai college , i work wif the industrial offered by them for 4years, den can i take the lwtr myself?
or it is permanently cannot oledi... coz the syllabus i learnt is nt d same?

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?

its becoz i thk the chances of getting into the TAME programme is rather hard than going into MIAT or nilai since they only accept a few students per batch right? i heard so... but i duno the actual number they accepting but i noe theres many ppl applying. so im seeking for alternatives which can let me get into the airlines hehe

why give up even before you try?
just send in your resume and give it a shot!! even if ur planning to enter any college.

good luck!!

Its becoz i got a fren wif me who wanna join aviation too. So ... i thk im not going to left him bhind. I mean wat if 1 go through and d other 1 stay.. tat will be a problem right? ah.. btw, im well aware of nilai college if we failed to get into miat. its our optional, juz maybe.. hm... if we study mechanical engineering in normal colleges, can we be TSE in the airlines? or TSE also nid lwtr or sth else ...

hi guys, i interested to be the aircraft engineer also...after get my SPM result, where can i apply?

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.

Ic.. Well.. still so many obstacles along my path hehe... btw, SPM result gona out soon. Afraid...
By the way.. how long is the time interval between the interview and the IQ test in MIAT?
coz im from east msia(swak), if the time interval is juz right in the middle or not too long, i scare its inconvenience for me and my fren, plus living in a hotel for tat long is realy costly

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to this this space here.. I'm waitin for my Spm results as well.. And i'm really really interested to join the MAS TAME program.. Can anyone guide me how to go about this.. My parents dun want me to do aircraft maintenance engineering unless i can get in the TAME program coz they its hard to get a job through the diploma's offered by other colleges and MIAT..

good day everybody

please i need a help
i need to do my avionic basic license and i dont know where i can have the preparation course and the exam for this license here in malaysia

please advise me

thank you

theres Miat Poly Tafe, but if you dont want colleges.


You can try for METC which is a MAS TAME program. But I doubt they have intakes now.

Dont think MAS is taking any TAME anymore, all MAS TAME now is from METC.
correct me if i'm wrong?

most of the airlines requires degree holder no? cos im planning to get degree after my dip (MIAT).. any suggestion?

Hi again,

Does anyone know about the MAS Human Resources Department address? Their phone number would be better to have...

No point getting a degree. What u REALLY need is LWTR
That's if u REALLY just want to become an aircraft engineer
