Do you have what it takes to become a pilot?

Flying is a lifelong passion. Malaysia Airlines is looking for anyone who has that vision to take to the skies and pursue a lifelong ambition as an aviator.

Like all our pilots, the new pilots will be among the best trained in the world and it would be expected of them to uphold the stringent standards that have made Malaysia Airlines one of the safest airlines in the world.

This season, applicants will undergo a thorough scientific selection process to reveal their potential to become safe, efficient pilots. With our human development focus, successful candidates can also look forward to being part of Malaysia Airlines' Flight Operations management team as part of a long term career path.

* Pass SPM or its equivalent qualification recognized by Malaysian government with six (06) credits including Bahasa Malaysia and a minimum of B4 in Mathematics, Physics and English taken at one sitting.

OR

Possess Diploma / Degree in Engineering or Science related disciplines with CGPA 3.0 or above and six (6) credits with a pass in Bahasa Malaysia in SPM taken at one sitting.
* Good command of Bahasa Malaysia and English both written and spoken.

THE SELECTION PROCESS


The process consists of six phases, namely:

* Pre screening of application
* Psychomotor skill test
* Psychometric tests
* Interview

* Medical examination.
* Final selection

THE TRAINING PROGRAMME



Commercial Pilots Licence And 'Frozen' Atpl

The training programme is wholly sponsored by Malaysia Airlines. All cadet pilots will have to repay the cost of training through monthly deductions over a period of fifteen years commencing from the time they are employed as Second Officers. In addition, all cadet pilots have to sign a training bond.

The training will be conducted at the Malaysian Flying Academy in Melaka, or any other flying training colleges approved by the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation (MDCA). Prior to leaving, cadet pilots will undergo an induction programme designed to prepare them for what is expected of them throughout their training. The programme will also offer them a brief introduction to Malaysia Airlines.

Phase 1: This phase takes approximately 60 weeks and consists of the following:

1. Ground school curriculum of approximately 920 hours of classroom time, where cadet pilots will learn:
Basic aeronautical knowledge comprising of Theory of Flights, Engines, Airframe and Systems, Electric, Ail Law, and Radiotelephony Theory and Practical - and are required to pass the Private Pilot Licence and the MDCA Technical Examinations.

Flight Planning, Instruments, Meteorology Theory, Meteorology Practical, Navigation, and Radio Aids - and are required to pass the UK Overseas Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Airline Transport Pilots' Licence (ATPL) Examinations.

Performance A, Loading, and Human Performance and Limitation - and are required to pass the UK Overseas Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Examinations.

The passing mark for all tests is 75%


2. Flight training that covers 200 aeroplane hours and 30 hours in a flight simulator. The 200 aeroplane hours will see each cadet flying the single-engine Piper Warrior for 165 hours of basic flying, instrument flight and navigation training and then the twin-engine Piper Seneca III for 35 hours of flight training.

Cadet pilots who complete this phase successfully will graduate with a Malaysian Commercial Pilots' Licence with Instrument Rating, and a Frozen Airline Transport Pilots' Licence. Our stringent standards have resulted in an integrated programme that provides cadet pilots with a solid foundation in both ground subjects and flying.

Phase 2: In this phase, all successful cadets are first subject to the Promotion and Selection Board, which will post cadets to fly either F50s or B737s, depending on their performance whilst in flying school and the availability of vacancies in the fleet. Cadets then enter an induction programme, which includes Crew Resource Management, to equip them with the necessary skills to be airline pilots. At the end of this programme, the cadets will undergo technical training (basic jet course) and aircraft type conversion. Aircraft type conversion comprises a computer-based training (CBT) ground course, fixed-based and full flight simulator work, aircraft endorsement and line-flying training. Generally, this phase takes 6 to 9 months to complete. Upon completion of the course, the cadet will become a Second Officer.

JOBS



After training, the cadets join Malaysia Airlines as full-fledged co-pilots holding the rank of Second Officers on either F50s or B737s. A typical career path will see a Second Officer begin as an F50 co-pilot, then a Boeing B737 co-pilot and becoming an Airbus A330, Boeing B777 or B747 co-pilot before returning to the F50 or B737 as Captain. This growth process from co-pilot to Captain usually takes 8 years, depending on vacancy, seniority and suitability (performance).

Pilots with suitability can also move into training captain and managerial positions whilst flying actively. Candidates for training captain and managerial appointments are selected from the line captains.

A pilot's typical job scope includes pre-flight briefing and preparation. A pilot has to examine the flight's routing, the expected weather pattern and the amount of fuel needed for the flight. Once airborne, he has to manage his resources (primarily fuel), his crew (both technical and cabin) and the flight itself, taking the aircraft safely to its destination as it flies through different situations and environmental conditions while constantly considering the safety and comfort of the passengers, punctuality and economy.
