Some info on static dischargers. This is from the Boeing maintenance manual:

1. Static dischargers are installed on the airplane to reduce radio receiver
interference. Corona discharge, from precipitation static and engine
charging, is emitted from the airplane and causes the radio interference.
The precipitation static is the result of an electric charge accumulated
by the airplane striking charged air and moisture particles. Static
usually discharges at the wing and tail extremities and is coupled into
the radio receiver antennas. The static dischargers are designed to
discharge the static at points which are a critical distance away from
the wing and tail extremities where there is little or no coupling into
the radio receiver antennas.

2. Each discharger that is installed along the trailing edge of the wing and
the tail surfaces consists of a carbon fiber tip at the end of a slender
rod. The rod incorporates a resistive (conducting) material and is
attached to a metal base. The base is fastened and bonded to the
trailing edge surface.

3. Wing tip dischargers are smaller than wing and tail dischargers but have
the same general construction and are attached in the same way.

4. The vertical fin and each wing has a tip discharger and three trailing
edge dischargers. Each horizontal stabilizer has a tip discharger and
two trailing edge discharge

The MARA scholarship was actually a 'dermasiswa'.. and we're paying back 10% of the total amount.
The bond is because the study fees was borned by MAS as we're trained overseas.
During that time I guess we're the best as 3000 applied and only 30 got it. tongue.gif

nowadays the bond is up to 15 years but fully funded by MAS
but the training is all messed up
some Tame are on their 6th year and still havent got their LWTR
especially the Avionic guys

wht? 15 yrs? OMG! shocking.gif is dat da felda stundents? coz i heard nowadays MAS only pick felda students to join MAS TAME...really ah? how about an outsider? cannot enter anymore? so MIAT n TAFE would be da last choice? sweat.gif

Around thousand (RM)? Every counted in US dollar. 4188USD. How much is Malaysia riggit? Hehe, Today failed to install cause there is some problems, and just now afternoon solved and tommrow is going to in the hole where it belong.

last time i did an aft bulkhead bolt replacement,
each of the bolt cost around 80-100usd, only like 3-4 inch length and 1/2 inch width
and there was around 144bolts (if im not mistaken) to be changed
imagine that

for the 777 at line 10, it comes from the kebab, thats why the smell is strong  tongue.gif

yup, by referring to the tech log, a document or better call it a book carried on aircraft for the pilot to record any defect (if no defect still has to write nil defect and some other flight info)
there will be a column where pilot will enter the to and from. so we can now the flight details

one of the responsibility of an lae is to clear the defect in the tech log before releasing the aircraft to fly again, if it cant be repaired and the defect is acceptable in a guide called mel (minimum equipment list), the defect can be deferred to a deferred defect log and the aircraft can fly with the defect (but of course the defect wont bring any danger to the aircraft)

The bolt that i mentioned is inconel, a nickel chromium alloy

http://asms.casa.go.kr/asms_ad/file/2003-11-25.htm

(this is the AD (airworthiness Directive of the job that i did )
replacing H-11 steel bolt with inconel bolt (now it had become too technical)
and while replacing it we found one broken bolt, broke into two

wow!!..well explained in manner of technical details... rclxms.gif tenz azameel 4 de AD quite "blur" reading it... blush.gif but i'll try my best 2 fully understand it... notworthy.gif owh sims like i got wrong info on da bolt or myb dat 1 is de other bolt... sweat.gif is dat da bolt dat join together da fuselage? am i correct dat fuselage is fastened using bolt? quite confuse wif da rivet...sorry kind a noob here... unsure.gif

There are 3 basic ways, they are :-
1.Obtain it yourself-Need 5 years of aircraft experience (workschedule) and completion of all the EASA modules
2.Obtaining the license through a Part 147 EASA approved training school, Completion of all the Modules and 2 yrs of experience(workschedule) with minimum 2400 hours of instruction/course
3.Obtain it through Nilai, Miat, Metc, APR -Not so sure on this one (got Easa and Bcar), Need SPM and maybe some Diploma as well

Quoted from the first post.

If i will to pursuade EASA through option 2, how is the way ? tq
*
i think option 2 is similar to MIAT EASA programme...correct me if im wrong..

competent enuff even thou u got ur license

yup...
path 2 is easa miat@aero-bildung gmbh - approved 147

path 3 = similar path 1 but u got ppl teach u
              path 1 u need to study by ur self but if i think if u got at        least  7a-8a in spm i think u can learn by urslef

If depend to the requirement required by the industry. EASA need 5 years of experience, DCA I not sure, Also 5 years if I not wrong but MAS TAME can reduce 1 year. In the 5 years you complete your EASA all module and have the 5 years experience must work under approved maintenance part 145.

Now is open for Jr.Tech Trainee. But I do not know is for workshop or hangar... but maybe is workshop because hangar METC just batch in and start working recently. lol take your chance. Click Here.

MAS TAME got 2 lines ka? what is da difren between workshop people n hangar people?
