Private Pilots License (PPL)

First you need to get CPL/Cadet pilot license, then PPL/ Private pilot license, after then ATPL Frozen/ Air Transport pilot license Frozen, which mean you have to unfreeze it by achieving certain hours.

I think I missed a license here, which is something Commercial pilot license. Can someone fresh me up?

cpl is commercial pilot license, before u get ppl, u must get spl first, student pilot license.

wow...
how much usually it cost to take a PPL??? from bottom to be able to pilot a plane...

ard 20-30k, depends on the flying school/clubs

thanks, that's what i missed. CPL=commercial pilot license, no wonder i felt like missed something about commercial

i was so surprised when i checked my mailbox today

i just got a call-up for interview by SIA for cadet pilot. anyone got the same call-up?

Dude good luck
SIA interview is much tougher but at the same time more rewarding and less time consuming.
Wish you best of luck.

TQ.

i would like to know more info bout this interview from those who experienced it b4.

so far, i was told to prepare a medical report on my eye-sight and some certs to bring along. will there be any simulator test? like those aircraft game in arcade?

If it's the first interview, then equip yourself with knowledge on aircraft and some skill on common interview.
You can worry about simulators later in second interview.

i was required to get an eye test report from qualified doctors and not opticians. can i just go to a normal clinic and have my eyes examined? does clinic doctor have this kind of service?

License sequence..

PPL
CPL/IR(Usually u need MeIR)
ATPL

the total COST if u study in Malaysia is about RM170k-180k including MAKAN tidur MANDI.,.,..

first interview should be piece of cake. Generally, they ask different questions depending on individual background. They usually ask questions to see how much u know bout aircraft and how interested u r about SQ. Learn the company's profile, aircrafts they fly (btw they only fly widebodies), and a little bit about theory of flight. They will aslso try to agitate u to see how u take pressure.

One more thing they will ask which subsidary of SQ u want to work for. Pax , cargo or silkair.

goodluck hoongji, wish u the best of lucks!!!

thx for all the wishes. i will surely share my experience after the interview. but have to wait till next month 23rd.

their simulator are not like those in game my fren.. it's like super advance with alof of buttons to press.. haha

WAH SAD LAH.. i also sent my apploication to SQ... but no news yet..

AA has put their cadet program on hold until further notice. To date, AA has only selected 6 batches...

My friend from MAS just told me MAS has put Cadet Pilot applications on hold until further notice but not confirmed yet cause their website is still advertising for vacancy.

your friend from MAS?

pilots?


i believe MAS would need pilot.... because many of their more experience pilot is moving abroad.................................

wah.. if really on hold.. how ah? i just took MISPA

Yea, pilot, this is what he told me.
MAS is executing business turnover plan by cutting workforce of 3000.
MAS is selling planes but still recruiting pilots.
MAS has 1300 pilots in the pool with around 200 cadet pilots graduating.
MAS has its own board of directors on how to lose money in the shortest time.
Anything MAS did doesnt make sense. Keep your spirit high, might not be true at all.
