LOL..who shouts at you? the instructor or your buddies?

the acrobatic moves are the most fun and challenging at the same time. how bout crosswind landings?

lol the instructors man. Crosswind landings not much, cause singapore where got strong winds. Crosswind landings will be done in jandokot and u can ask MR death wing, he probably knows more than me

you must be pulling very hard Gs until the instructor shouts like that.

is deathwing in SIA as well?

btw, i'm in SIA PAX

No they will pick on ur slightest mistake and u know up there everything is different and we werent born with cessnas in our backyard. THey just wanna see how well u react to this kind of environment. So how many malaysians this time ?

4 singaporeans, 5 malaysians

another 5 malaysians pending medical and MOM clearance

ok i'll pm u

i didn't receive any PM

I don't think there is such a thing as too old to start anything

phew.... finally finish browsing thru 11 pages...
im doing my form4 this yr, and i plan to join mas or sia nex yr...
mas is more likely, coz according to u all, sia is quite hard (considering that i wanna join right after i finish my high school)..

my eye vision is not perfect, but close to perfect
need to do a check up when im free...

juz wanna ask something...
on what aspect sia will select new cadets?
academic or co-curicular?... is there anything else..?
i have perfect scores for my upsr and pmr, and currently im working very hard for my spm...
coz i think that i really need to do well in spm to be above the rest...

anything that i shud start worrying now if i wanna be a pilot?
and yeah, i play fs2004 a lot

currently for SIA, they tend to prefer degree/diploma holders. that is only for the selection for 1st interview.

the final interview will be more to attitude and aptitude. perfect academic results do not hold much weight. the interviewers are looking for a person that can project good attitude and character during the tough interview sessions.

ouch...
one noob question...
what kind of degree are they looking?

no specific preference.

during my final interview, we have business degree holders as well

wow... so if i want to do a degree, what should i take?

edit: wanna ask what's urs...

in febuary i've met and spoke to the SIA chief pilot ( and person who choose ppl) . he said the safest way is to get at lease 5 credits in spm, go for diploma or degree in any courses, go melaka for the flight training or so, then only u try to apply for SIA. The chances might be better. and this is what he advise for those who want to join SIA. Currently SIA are getting alot of malaysian to join SIA.

i would like to add, working experience will be an added advantage as well

oh ok... got it...
thanks for the info guys...

i'm just wondering..

SIA REcognizes MFA, but not HMA?

*edited*

We all know that.
But the flight training part is a bit not true. The HR guy told me they prefer fresh 0 experience candidates because they want us start alike and dont want us to accumulate bad flying habits. In other words, they hate GA pilots unless you've got lots of hours in the log book.

Academic performance does count. One of the dude in my batch got Full A for his STPM and was selected for the 1st interview. From there on, degree or no degree doesnt make a big difference.

BTW, I think SIA recognizes all academy with ICAO signatory. The problem is that a fresh grad with 300 hours will still need to go through the cadet pilot selection.

deathwing...


because from what i heard... there are only two places..

MFA in Malaka

and Massey in NZ.


if you trained in these two places...

when you go for SIA cadet pilot, you can skip the Basic training phase and jump training in to the LearJet Course.
