is swimming a requirement in a pilot??haha...coz i might need to learn if i'm gonna apply.....
and can anyone tell me wat medical knowledge is needed as i have read in the beginning of the starting post....

I think physic is a MUST if you want to be a pilot.

nah, not needed. Medical knowledge? I don't know anything about that, but I'm still able to enroll to a flying school continue with the training
Physics is important but not a must. Maybe if applying for airline sponsorship yes, since competition is really tough.

My friend(private) who was in Art Stream is now doing his training seems to be coping well

Which airline your friend in ? If without physic, i think you can only enter private pilot class! Correct me if i'm wrong!

I used to think that. One of my friend who didnt do so well in physics just got in through determination.
I was also quite surprise.

He's still in training course and doing it privately. He already has his PPL, passed all his CPL papers and finishing up his ATPL papers. He's currently flying for CPL now.

Flying schools requirements are very much lower than airline cadets
Here is one of the requirements to enroll into a flying school taken from my e-mail

I see. Thanks for the infor.

You want to be pilot after your course, right ? You can try SIA.

sum1 answer my questions plz...its 40pages...took quite an effort to read thru

SIA huh.....i have a fren who's working there...say there not good....flight hours 4 us malaysians who's not SG citizens is very very little.......n he jumped from airasia to SIA....now wan jump back.......

Try everything. They're not desperate to take people, people are desparate to work for them

Unless you got cables no problem

Fist time i hear this! I thought SIA is more enjoyable than Airsia!

i ask my fren to pass my resume to his father(MAS captain)
