You have a sample of that letter? My qam do not want to do extra job 

I need that sample so i can try to contact dca for that letter myself...

huh? you get the letter from CAAS? not DCAM?

For those who try to apply EASA license, you require a supporting letter from DCA. Recently, DCA head of licensing department will not issue this letter anymore. It means that you can't apply EASA license. So my suggestion for those who taking EASA, its the right time you can report to MACC to investigate Mr. Kamal since it's election period. haha... maybe he is monopoly the training school in Malaysia, who knows. lol He is already blocking for license conversion, he even block for those apply EASA license, what else he want. Damn power abuse

Any updates about the latest information of license conversion? From EASA to DCAM? Meanwhile, is there anyone already completed their logbook / work schedule and get their EASA license while working in SAE? Or any MRO / Airlines in Malaysia? I seriously need some help man, just graduated from EASA part 147 training school.............

Ahhh thankssss someone still replied on this good old forum, I'm a freshman & heading to SAE for 6 months OJT soon, but I have no clue about how to complete the work schedule, will the company provide logbook and task by task for freshman? Or we need to print the work schedule by ourselves? I've just completed all B1.1 13 modules and practical training.. only got EASA Cat A logbook format on my hand, at least have a guide which task should be done, but don't have Cat B1.1 format though..

Thanks for the reply!   

1. I've done my basic training in HAECO / TAECO, no there's no collaboration between TAECO with SAE. I applied by myself, already applied few airlines but no responses at all, since SAE is approved 145 so I'll give it a try, start from 0 once again, now I'm just hoping after 6 months OJT they will absorb me as official employee so I can continue collect my working experience... 2 more years to go to apply my license, but I understand that 2 years is just a minimum working experience requirement, probably need 3~5 years I guess.. after that probably still need SOJT.. and type ratings endorsements...zz 

2. Alright~ May I know did you bought Cap741 by yourself?
I got a lot of questions actually.. About those logbook tasks you just simply finish the task and get stamping and signs by engineers? Can Local DCA approved engineers sign the EASA logbook? Or must need EASA license holder only can sign EASA logbook?

Initially I wanna apply Singapore MRO JAMCO but what I got from my senior who currently working there, they told me still have to depends on local engineers, see their face, to decide whether they wanna sign those logbooks or not.. some of my seniors are contract workers (2 years), JAMCO just assigned them to some airlines in Singapore just to work in operation team, major tasks are only cabin refurbishment, can't really complete the work schedule in two years my seniors told me.. so I decided collect working experience in Msia first.. since home is here

3. Noted with thanksss

***That time I was still thinking of converting license from EASA to DCAM once I got the license, DCAM changed the conversion policies last year and I was still half way on my training, there's no way back, I never expected things have escalated that quickly and totally out of my imagination.

What I heard the stories was (not sure if it's true), DCAM said since EASA not allow DCAM convert to EASA license, why must we-DCAM allow EASA convert to DCAM?    Ok ok change the rule, no more EASA conversion to DCAM in future!    Or maybe just there are too many EASA license holders in Malaysia and already reached a saturated level???  :confused:

Right now HAECO still have a fixed 4 EASA batches a year, most of the students are Malaysian.. wish them luck..***
I admit that it's abit late for me, I choose to become LAE as my ambition as I really enjoy doing those troubleshooting BITE test stuff~ At the beginning I was thinking of getting EASA would be a better option compared with DCAM if I wish to work overseas someday in future.. at least not like DCAM cannot convert license into international license, correct me if I'm wrong. That time my thought was, instead of getting local license, why not directly get one of the highest requirement license in the world? I've spent 4 years to completed my degree after that only realized becoming a LAE doesn't require degree   (kinda blur seriously) so I continue extra 2 years in 147 training organization to continue pursue my dream.. I met some uncle at the age of 32 still on going their EASA basic training in my 147, now I'm already 25, guess not too late. SIGHHHH 

hi , i just finished my o-levels and im waiting for my results .

I'm playing to take aircraft engineering but i'm not sure which is a better way
I have two options ,

1- Get my  DCAM license with type rating at APR aviation training center(4 years program)
2- Get my diploma and degree in UniKL-MIAT , meanwhile i can do my DCAM license at there. (8 years program )

I personally feel that I should go for APR since it is more professional i can say ? But one thing I'm not sure , is diploma and degree an advantage to us ? is it needed for us to become a more successful LAE ? or is it just a waste of time and money since the most important thing to become LAE is the license .

I'm confused , I need help here

Thought of popping by here real quick. I went for the APR course in late 2011 and got my DCAM B1.3 license last year, am currently working in the industry now as a LAME and just got my first type rating recently as well. Cheers and good luck to others interested in this field, but all I can say is, it's pretty much crowded here now which wasn't the case when I first started APR in 2011 

Not sure if you're still interested in the field, but here's my 2ct.

Well, I am from APR and there are many people I know personally who obtained their license from APR and are now working in the industry whereas MIAT I heard they just started taking their DCA exams in-house but not too sure of that. I'm not a student of MIAT so i do not want to comment too much on that. Degree/Diploma is not required to be an LAE but it might be useful if you're eyeing for managerial positions. Other than that, maybe some leverage when discussing about salary? But in terms of an LAE's responsibilities and job scope, diploma/degree is not required, just the license.

I took nearly 6 years to obtain my license due to multiple factors including failing and retaking certain exams multiple times, and the fact that APR was not approved to conduct examinations yet until I was about to enter my 3rd year, and also assessment waiting times. But I do know certain people who did accomplish everything within the 4 year schedule but you must be really hardworking. I also know quite a number who just gave up halfway and are in other fields now.

All I can say is, do your research properly, plan your finances(APR ain't cheap) and all the best

i see btw does APR provide OJT for us or do we have to find our own?

Hi all,

I'm a EASA part 66 course grad student. I did all 13 modules and I've already passed it all above 75%. Now I'm looking for places to do my OJT as a technician. I was told that I need to at least gain a 2 years experience and finish collecting task in my logbook then I can apply with EASA form19.

In 2019 i don't know if the rules and regulation have changed since 10 years ago.

My questions are:
1. Is there any company in Malaysia that will accept and hire me for being a EASA holder? What are the chances? If yes please let me know which company.
2. Whats my next step to be a LAME.
3. Is it possible to hold a EASA license in malaysia and work for a company who implement EASA. Which means company who accept EASA holder. Which I don't need to do any conversion to CAAM.

Sorry if my questions are a little off. I tried my best to explain it. Any EASA holder please give me some advice. Thank you

May I ask which company you’re working for?
So there’s not one company who accept Easa Holder in malaysia? What if I applied to a overseas MRO?
How much for the conversion?

I don’t know if you heard of Aviation Australia? Actually I haven’t got my license yet I need to first get 2 years experience in the industry and a complete logbook. If I hasn’t misunderstood the whole situation here that’s what I need to do for now.

May I ask which company in subang. You could dm me too if it’s not okay for you to share to public.

Means there’s no future for EASA in malaysia that is a fact right. Don’t mind me if I ask more about the program?

Haven't complete your conversion a?

Hahahahaha

Just wondering. Where do airlines/companies send someone to for type rating courses once they have an LWTR. Does the airline/company conduct the courses themself or engineers are sent somewhere else?

- And if you are a CAAM LWTR engineers, where are they sent for type rating course?
- As well as EASA LWTR engineers, in Malaysia, Europe or elsewhere?
(Despite BREXIT, i know EASA engineers still working in KLIA)
