OJT or not. MIAT does not have ATO status yet. Hence, as MIAT's graduate, you need to have 5 years of experience in the field when you submit for your license application. As compared to APR grad, they only need 2 as they've got ATO status now.

and this one for DCA Part 66

Experience requirements
a) An applicant for an AML shall have acquired:

i) for category A and subcategories B1.2 and B1.4:
1. three (3) years of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft, if the applicant has no previous relevant technical training;
or
2. two (2) years of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft and completion of training considered relevant by DGCA
as a skilled worker in a technical trade; or
3. one (1) year of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft and completion of an appropriately approved basic training
course.

ii) for category B2 and subcategories B1.1 and B1.3:
1. five (5) years of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft if the applicant has no previous relevant technical training;
or
2. three (3) years of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft and completion of training considered relevant by the

yes, tak ada. but as miat student, the subjects that we learn during our semesters are pretty much right about the same as exam module.

as an example, i'm on 'old' diploma which is Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology in Avionics. all subjects in my course are pretty much based on old Section L module if i'm not mistaken. i might be wrong in this tho .

anyway, if you're asking whether while doing diploma or degree in miat you can take exam module from dca? yes, you can. if miat has got an ATO status you can take exam as MIAT student through MIAT QA. right now MIAT is not an ATO. those who can't wait and want to go for 5 years long route can take exam module from dca as an outsider (no one have done this as far as i know)

but , twinning programme? no.

you can PM me on facebook once you do make decision on taking those special course. i'm interested if time does permit. i don't have holiday at all as i do a short one month or one week training during those time .


anyway, to those who are intersted with MIAT, here is an update. it's an internal memo. if anyone from MIAT thinks it's not appropriate to put up this memo here please PM me to take it down.

my advice? don't take this as the top reference for you to enroll to MIAT. it took them ages to even come out with this memo. god knows how long it's gona take to finally resolve it .

but, those MIAT students and also MIAT grad who are waiting for MIAT to conduct this exam, please pray harder and harder and hopefully they can resolve this issue ASAP.

Noted. Thank you sir !

Hello there. first of all, congrats to your brother .

anyway, the duration of his study can be seen in 2 ways.

1. Degree duration.
2. Duration to obtain license.

1. Degree duration :
take the BACHELOR OF AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (HONS) MECHANICAL for example link

-it will take him 4 years to get the degree.

2. Duration to obtain license :
tihs one on the other hand it's a whole lot different story. there are 2 different views here depend on what is going to happen to MIAT in the next 6-8 months.

a) View no. 1 : if miat is just what it is right now which is, NOT AN Approved Training Organisation, it will take your brother 4 years(degree+taking exam as an outsider via DCA)+5 years(to gain aircraft experience) before he gets his LWTR (License Without Type Rating)

b) View no. 2 : if miat can get the ATO status in the next 6-8 months or in 4 years your brother is going to be there, it will take him 4 years(degree+taking exam as an ATO candidate)+2 years(working experience in the aviation maintenance field before he gets his LWTR.

I suggest you ask him to read a lot about the DCA Part 66, EASA Part 66, and etc. all of the details from duration, subjects, modules, and etc.

if i were him, i will use his diploma right now and join any airlines/chartered flight/helicopters/flying school companies as their low level technician and while working, he study on his own to complete all 12 modules (for B2 license) and after complete all required modules for the license he's going to apply for and after 5 years within the company, he'll then submit for his LWTR.

i might be wrong in any info here, do correct me. thanks

LICENSE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANC ENGINEER. we deal with aviation regulatory bodies like DCA,FAA,CAA UK,EASA and etc depends on where work. We have got nothing to do with BEM or whatsoever

hey guys, i know this has nothing to do with LAE discussion.

But, has anyone here been to British Council in KL?

this is their address right?
Wisma Selangor Dredging, 142 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia

how's the parking like? i'm taking morning session (9.45 am) for EASA Part 66 from CAA UK module exam. what time should i get there eh?

my session will be in august which means during Ramadhan. i think it's not gona be a problem for me to leave home from shah alam at 6.30 or right after subuh prayer .

the best? neither. go to DILOG or APR .

ps : i'm MIAT student currently

where are you studying currently?

looks like i'll be having problem doing OJT next year at MAS,SAE,Berjaya,HMA as MIAT student. hopefully they (MIAT) sort this thing up !

won't reveal more than that until further notice from MPP of MIAT.

You can always take EASA PART 66 EXAM from CAA UK. And by this time next year it is possible to complete 12 modules (avionics) if you take 2 modules a month. How far can you reach to become an LAE as a self starter candidate is unknown lah.

Well, for the sake of gaining knowledge of course this is nog recommended. But, to answer his question, that's the fastest route.

Anyway, i would like to ask jazzy and other otai here what can you comment about this company and their services.

http://dviation.com/index.php/training

Yes. For a start, can those 30-40 days of the course duration can be counted to our 2 years/5 years working experience?

I see. Thanks guys.

Anyway, good news for us in MIAT.

Hopefully the attached picture is not too blurry. Haha.




Attached thumbnail(s)

to become an LAE. you need to take license. professional license. the License in Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. google it to know more.

what can i say is, with your degree and everything and you really want to be come an LAE. you need at least 2-3 years before getting yourself an LWTR without the type rating. this of course if you join any approved maintenance school. if you join non approve or taking the exam yourself, the numbers will be 5-6 years before you can get the LWTR.

it can be done

hi guys,

I will be undergone an OJT at MAS Subang starting this 21st of January for 6 months.

I would like to at least prepare myself with some basic tools like torchlight and magnetized screw drivers.

My lecturer said MAS is a bit strict in this area where some cap ayam brand is not allowed. He suggested to us to buy Kennedy brand screwdrivers and etc.

Is any of you guys know where can I get them? Sir Jazzy?

Got the pocket torchlight from Ace Hardware for RM80++. Checked at Ace Hardware Midvalley, i couldn't find any Kennedy brand screwdrivers tho

Thanks Jazzy

i'm always amazed by jazzy's dedication answering the same question since my first silly question back in the end of 2010

MIAT students like me should read this thread more often now that we've lost our dearest Mr. Hyder to some college in Pengkalan Chepa. just to keep us up to date with what's happening in the industry.

This post needs to be pinned in the first post
