I want to know how much it cost and everything. I also learned that MAS or SIA can pay for your courses and work for them later on. For this, how many A's must I score in SPM. Just want to know and thanks for the help

One my friend is studying pilot in Kelantan. I don't know why Kelantan. There's another one in Langkawi too I heard.
And yea, you have to be at least 165cm tall.
I think for english, you must definitely get an A.
Others I am not sure. Sorry.

All the best.

I mainly want to know about the course being paid by MAS or any flight company. Others I know I can check it out at MAS airlines website

Costs ~200k IINM. For MAS/SIA's you gotta check out for their cadetship intake. Should be found it their websites.

A good place to start with:

physics maths english add maths all get A1
then active in co-curricular activities..

with these qualifications u can easily get into their admission tests..
which mostly and usually consist of IQ test, math and physics test, coordination test, interview, etc... pass all and make a remarkable impression during the interview, u'll probably get accepted in their cadet pilot programme...

in Malaysia Airlines, looking for pilot also.... new fresh with good english....

hi guys....i wana know any sifu here take pilot course before? coz my diploma almost end d....after thinking for whole night i decided to i wana become a pilot...this is one of my childhood dream too actually. so far..i know pilot need to have credit for English, math and one science subject, and they accepting 4 eye boy now....my wearing glasses now...power L50/R400 ... i wana know which academy in Malaysia are the best and provide job after finish the course and how long will it take to officially become a pilot thx

really need you guys help ..coz my diploma finish this month...thx

I am not a pilot, but i am an aspiring pilot, i know alot about piloting, so i hope my answer will be able to help you..

It seems that you have "lazy eyes", right? ur Right power 400, Left 50.. it would be better for you to enquire DCA approved hospitals / clinics personally, after all, a first class medical cert is what u need in the end to be a commercial airline pilot.. It doesn't matter how bad your eyesight is , or how high ur power is, as long as it's 6/60 ( u can only look at things that are 6 meter away from u when others can look at the same things at 60 meters away )

You plan to self pay? or to join airlines' cadet pilot programmes?
I would personally suggest cadet pilot programme, as you don't have to worry about ur financial problem, as it is paid by the airlines.. After you have completed ur training, then u are automaticially bonded with them ( which mean a job is automatically secured ), and they will deduct the training fees slowly from ur salary...

If you want to choose the "self-pay route", it is very very expensive... To get a ATPL ( Airline transport pilot license ), you wil need around RM 250k...
Personally, i would suggest MFA ( malaysia flying academy ), as you can find most Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines cadet pilots traning there..

I hope my answers help.. feel free to ask me anything about piloting, coz i've done alot alot alot of researches about it..

lol...ur avatar so funny....can tell me how to join airlines' cadet pilot programmes? it that very hard to join?

I personally worry about people who put their future in the keyboards of total strangers hiding behind screen names. But anyway.........

The Malaysian Flying Academy (http://www.mfa.edu.my/) is one of the aviation schools in M'sia. You might like to read this: http://www.mfa.edu.my/AbridgedDCAGuide.pdf

haha...people at lowyat net can trust one la...other i don't la....thx for ur info...really helpful is MFA a good flying academic school? i heard KLIFA are quite good too...RM250000...hmmm....if borrow loan from bank i nid to pay how many years only can clear the dept...hmmmm

Wa so many people want to be pilot today. Even some of my friends want and they are smart students.

think twice if you want to borrow from bank. the interest is freaking high.

try search mas / airasia cadet pilot program.. every year got new intake..
i wouldnt recommend mfa.. my fren graduated from there said it sux in many aspects..
better go langkawi, kelantan or singapore one.. they have better facilities, teachers n flite program

my suggestion would be to check out mas and airasia pilot training program or sometin(more info on the site i believe). my friend went through the mas interview and got in the program. but mind you, even if u get through, the provess isnt easy as there are a lot of applicants for a few spaces apparently. and u gotta study up on stuff.

theres a forum somewhere on this, will ask my friend and paste the link here later.

Oo...million thx for suggestion from all of you..really helping me alot... one more question ..what happen if i if dont get to be cadet and i self budget pay the course....can i get o from other airline too? like thai airline....once again..thx for answering

my fren said if u personal one, the road to become pilot much much harder..
graduated from academy means u still a cadet..not a pilot yet..
mas / airasia cadet will continue with boeing international flite while private student
have hard time to be recruit by any airlines since u = no experience = fly fokker

mas / airasia cadet will have 15 years contract = jobs secure abit..
then finish contract, go emirates airlines .. u will get citizen status hospitality..
-free education
-free medical
-super salary

this all my fren batch intend to do

hmmm....will it be easier to get in the MAS cadet academy program if recommended by someone? i mean...easier for you to enter if u have contact inside MAS right?

my fren is doin piloting in philippines n hes hapi there...u can try there 2..its about 200k 4 1 n half year course
