thesun already sums it up pretty nicely.
just do the best you can. they don't expect you to know everything but if you do know, it shows that you're interested in the subject matter and that will certainly help you going through the course..
all the best med!

The term black in 'black box' does not refer to the colour of the box but a slang referring to the FDR and/or CVR.
Infact the term black box can generally mean any electronic box.

Refer here: Black Box.

Well vortex gen creates vortex..

thesun,
you are right. I have finished but most probably before you weren't even born yet!

azameel,
u waiting for written or oral? or completed altogether?

great! so all the best to you!
after airframe, the engine would be like 'kacang'..

Remember, to established as an LAE, you need to be TYPE RATED.
If you have only LWTR, either via EASA or BCAR, you're nothing yet. You have NO priviledges with LWTR alone.
It would normally take around 5 years(minimum) to be established as an LAE/LAME.
That 2 years you mentioned is the OJT requirements to get LWTR, not to be LAE just yet.

AA as in AirAsia?

I know that EASA-66 Syllabus is being used for their ET (Engineering Trainee) Programme and with Aviation Australia (an approved part 147 Training Organization) the trainees will be getting their EASA license before conversion to DCA's AMEL.

Agreed. Aviation Australia is an approved Part 147 Training Organization.
And its the only one outside EU.

Gosh.. I think you better get back to basics and know the ABCs of EASA!

Part 66 is The requirements a civil aircraft maintenance licence.
While Part 147 is Training Organization requirements.

Night and day difference? It is!

I left out Part 145 intentionally..

Exactly.

Goto MIAT. Jr Tech is much lower entry, longer/harder path if you want to take LWTR later..

Good luck! Keep us posted!

Yes.
It's just a job that I love doing.
It pays the bills and feed the family

Less than what?

Good point, mathew!
If some of you guys are in for the money, think again!
And like mathew's advice; "you do the math and weigh your options on what's best"..

This is a life long profession. Interesting, challenging and rewarding(not necesarily in $$$ terms)
If you're in just for the $$$, this is not it. You're better off taking flying lessons and in 18 months you'll passed out as opposed to 5 years to be LAME, minimum.

You make better money selling nasi lemak or char kuey teow..

I don't think any of the SAS's staff are forum members here.. they're not many to start with..

Looks like no one from GA wants to response or they're not in forumming.. busy making the big bucks!

You bet!
Airplane I and piston engine license in GA can go a very long way and bigger bucks than airlines!
A 'secret' than has been kept for quite some time...

Most engineers that I know went through in a single sitting
