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 sad.gif however, is there any job relating to aircraft, like to make aeroplane with boeing company or other? biggrin.gif 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  sweat.gif

anyway this is additional info about Aircraft Maintenance Trainee;

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

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

QUOTE
Academically, the 'license', which is recognised as equivalent to a honours degree, will enable the LAME to further his studies in obtaining a Masters or even a Doctorate in various fields.
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? biggrin.gif

Thanks.

Do u have any idea where I can start TAME?

Is it to join the MAS's training?


I found this from SIA website

QUOTE("Singapore Airlines")
Technical Services Engineer
Full/Part Time: Full Time 
Location: Singapore,
 
Description You should possess a recognized University Degree, preferably with Honours in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics or Aeronautical Engineering.

The Job
You will work with a team of specialists engaging in a broad spectrum of engineering activities, including evaluation of aircraft and jet engine performance; management of aircraft electronics and software; evaluation and implementation of advanced in-flight passenger entertainment systems; designing repairs for aircraft structures and systems; as well as providing consultancy services to various maintenance centres serving the airline. 
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

So I should join MAS's training and after 5 years I will be recognized LAME? I see many has regretted because they took diploma/degree but it means nothing in aircraft maintainence. And MIAT students are not so welcomed in MAS sad.gif

However, the 10 years bonds with MAS is a big challenge >_<

Anyone know how much is the basic salary after the 5 years training with MAS? Besides, do MAS offer commision during the 5 years?

About the license, when we come out from MAS 5 years training, we will have 1 license at least right? And between the 10 years bonding, I can take other license to increase my payment? Last but not least, i need more elaboration about LAME -> LWTR. I don't know what is LWTR.

After the 10 years bond with MAS, and with some licenses, am I able to work EVERYWHERE in the world as a LAE, meaning to work with other airlines.

Thanks.

Besides this, commen sense tells me that working with SIA is definately has more privilages than for MAS. But will it be too late to work with them at the age of 33 (18+15 years bond with MAS)? Or maybe at the age of 33, I already has many licenses and my salary at all/most of the airlines will be quite high and does not need to hop to another airlines?
my questions above biggrin.gif need comment and advices. thanks ^^

What's TJT program?

If SPM qualification is not accepted by MAS by 2008, then I have to go to institution to study and get my Diploma first? So if this happen, what choices of institution do I have? MIAT only?

God bless me!
