Added on July 19, 2007, 7:37 amaccording to MAS / AA cadet pilot website,
A.maths , fiziks are required.

according to http://www.asiapacificflighttraining.com/m...ategory/3/7/25/, one needs SPM with 5 credits inclusive of English, Mathematics and one Science subject. tat means fizik and a.maths r not needed. however, is tat the requirement for PPL or CPL ?



on the other hand, if someone wit only Eng,Bm, & general science applied and completed the CPL course locally, self sponsored, wat r his chances of getting a job ? wat if he completed it overseas (Aussie/NZ) ... chances of being offered a job?

MAS and AA .. if i recall correctly, some1 posted that MAS n AA hav stopped taking cadet pilots.. however, tat was last year.

u can email them or keep an eye on newspapers, they'll advertise there.

meantime, concentrate on ur BM,ENG,MATHS,A.MATHs,FIZIK...... those r the subjects u should concentrate on cos tats the key subjects.

tks for replying...

if i recall correctly, my power was ard 375-400 degrees 2yrs ago. went to TUn Hussein Onn, and got a Class 2.

checked wit a LASIK centre last week and they referred me to one of their patients who was 20yrs old. i spoke to him and he told me tat he did LASIK there 1yr ago and he will be starting his course nex month. self sponsored.

i called Dr.KEE, he told me i can only go for aviation med exam after 6 months fr the date of LASIK surgery.

i've a big Q here... at the moment, nobody can answer me..

" isit true that most companies will not hire pilots whom have had any surgery on their eyes, regardless of whether or not such a policy officially exists ? "

p/s.. fillet, u self sponsored too ?

In my case, it was ard 400, which i got CLASS 2.

assuming i did laser, having perfect eyesight now. and gotten a CLASS 1, which is a must for ATPL, CPL..

if they look at my eye-sight b4 laser, tat would be CLASS 2, and i would not pass the Aviation Test for ATPL,CPL even though my sight is perfect now..

how ah? macam mana?

Yes, i went to Dr. Pal at THO..

u mentioned that they look at my eye condition b4 LASIK, how do they know i did LASIK ?

JAA regulations applies to EUropean States or isit international? how abt other continents? or other airlines..

btw, ru wearing specs now?

called dr KEE again. he told me if i were to take CPL in Australia, he cant do the med test for me...

i need to go to Tun hussein Onn..

CASA only approve Dr PAL n Thomas for the Australia med.

my power is ard 400 now, still considering whether to do LASIK then oni go for check up.

i'll do as said - check CASA eyesight requirements...

btw, for health check up, whr u did?
is the msia and aus health check up requirements same?

[CODE]tks for ur input hoongji .

i dem tension le..

1. airline policy on LASIK ( confirm Korea do not allow pilots to go for eye surgery, unsure abt other airlines/country )

2. lets say, after i LASIK and did CPL in Australia , what r my chances of getting a job (MAS/AA/ other airlines)
-MAS/AA has their own cadet pilots
-protectionism
i can dream on i can get a job in those Australian airlines ; Qantas,Jetstar,Virgin Blue , bcos chances are slim , and again, there is protectionism .. they will give preference to their locals than a foreigner.

How abt New Zealand airlines.. any ideas? what r my chances..?


According to a Msian airbus instructor who is currently teaching in Korea, he told me there is oversupply of pilots in American Region due to airline companies retrenching and no airline growth there. He met an american indian who applied to AA and was rejected bcos AA does not hire americans ( unsure if wat he said is true )

The airline industry growth is currently and only happening in the Asian region.


3. complications of conversion fr Aust license to Msia license

btw, i remember there is a forummer here who is taking CPL in Malacca. is that u hoongji , or fillet ?
i asked this instructor again - what is a freshie's chance of getting employed in AA/MAS , currently taking CPL in Msia, self sponsored. he replied " 50% / 50% " because the airlines have their own cadets.

Again, dear forummers, what are your inputs on these problems/questions as mentioned above.
