Do LAME need to use alot of strength in their job and have strong arms? I am kinda of thin spesis person LOL

LAME not normally use a lot of strength (from what I saw), but do you know what u will be before u be a LAME? again, don't worry about it. as long as u are stronger than female, that's should be fine. because i knew a few girls doing this jobs as well.

LAMEs are problem solvers. They rarely use brawn. But getting your hands dirty sometimes is a good way to get your colleague's respect.

hello all.i am a spm leavers and currently planning to further my studies at uniKL in foundation in science and technology.it will cost me 1year and 2 month,just then i will attend the degree courses in MIAT(hopefully).does the degree will do me any good in becoming a LAME?

For the millionth time, NO.

so then,jazzy will you explain to me with that wonderful experience of yours on how to becoming a LAME or any equivalent post after i obtain the degree later?i just cannot understand what they were talking about back then,as i am a rookie or any grades beneath it as you might know.so please,help me make up my mind.

and if you dont mind which i will really really appreciate ,tell me what is the post that i can take with the degree that i will have.

As a starter, read the guide on the first page.
Then ask question

Thanks for the info. Cromwell is another brand name right? how good are the tools?



and for aniqshamsul, first thing, what you want to be? or what you want in your hand? License or degree? if License, read the first page first. then ask which part you don't understand. if u want to get a job with a degree, it's different story. but if u think u want to be a LAME after your degree, it still come under the same rules, DCA rules (read guide in the first page). point to remember, anything that to do with LAME (i.e. knowledge, exams, or license) is under DCA(DCA rules), not under education body (i.e LAN).

so, what u want to be?

i wanted to be a LAME that for sure.and i also want a degree in my grasp.i understand that to become a LAME i must climb my up from the bottom.start from junior technician,collect my experience,apply for the license and hope that everything will flow smoothly for the next 4 to 5 years.BUT as i asked earlier on,what is the post that i can take with my degree in other words,what is the use of my degree?i read all 15 pages and the 60++ pages earlier on,still i need some professional advices.im sorry for the inconvenience caused,but i really need some help.a trillion thanks to all.

With 0 hands-on experience, your degree won't allow you to work near the aircraft as a maintenance crew. But you can join the Technical Services Department as a Technical Services Engineer.

What do these guys do?
Basically:

1) When the guys on the floor came across defects which have never been mentioned in the maintenance manual, they will relay the info to the Tech Serv Dept. Now, the engineers under this dept will start working with the item manufacturer to come out with a solution (investigation, taking pictures, brainstorming etc) which will be passed on to the Maint Dept to be executed. Ping-ponging feedback for every action taken.

2) When the aircraft parts manufacturers come out with a modification, the Tech Serv will investigate to ensure applicability and to identify accountable sources.

3) To ensure adherence to maintenance program/package i.e item age, out of the ordinary reports, reliability programs etc.

That's about what I could think of.

If you wanna be LAME, go for it. It's a good job. If you wanna go for degree, read the post where I quoted an extract from my old blog. I know an LAE who came back from the States in the early 90s with an electrical/electronic degree who joined MAS TAME because there was no job for him during that time. Everything turned out ok. Even got an MBA a while back.

Gotta be patient.

Benjamin Franklin's quote,
"He that can have patience, can have what he will"

@ezi23: Yep I believe so. How good? Not sure tbh.

can u tell me where the post is?thanks.so then,how could i be a LAME?other than attending the TAME program from MAS or AA as i heard it takes very little number of students.and if i do a degree in MIAT and completes it,doesnt it come with LWTR?and i can be a junior technician,collect experiences,complete my workschedule,sit for the test an if i pass it,i can be a LAME(finally)?doesnt that how it works?

Hi fellow LYN members,

May I get some information from those here who are working with an aviation company as an aircraft maintainer? I have a cousin and he has just received his SPM result yesterday. His result was very poor (3 D's, 4 E's and 3 G's), therefore it is hard for him to get into college. One way his mom suggested is that he get himself into an aircraft maintenance course situated at Sultan Azlan Shah airport.

I would like to know if he could cope with this course, since he failed his Physics? Anyone currently pursuing this course or have previously been taking this course could please advise me on this matter? During the course of study, is there a lot of Physics materials which he needs to learn?

Thank you all in advance for your time

aniqshamsul,
u can have your degree AND license, no problem. to get both the easy way, look up for Kingston U or Glamorgan U and read thru their course details. if u interested, go to MABEC and discuss more with them. their service is free and from my own experience, they're good. they'll help u to enroll in UCAS (UK equivalent of malaysian UPU) and only this part u need to pay to UCAS. just make sure u tell them aircraft maintenance degree with part 66 license. if all went smooth, u'll get offer letter from the U itself. u'll take a bit longer time, but u'll get both. ah.. and u need a lot money too.

well, there's also MIAT with their degree but i can't recommend what i don't know. why not ask them? ask for their syllabus, and paste them here

money is what i am lacking.so leave that option.other than that,is there any other ways for me to obtain the license?like contacting straight to DCA or something?

and and this is what i just got from MIAT

Easa
EASA PART 66 - Training Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License

UniKL have offered its first EASA PART 66 - Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License (AMEL) training programme commencing from 17 November 2008.


Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT), in partnership with AERO-Bildungs GmbH of Germany, is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as a second site Aviation Maintenance Training Organization (MTO). UniKL MIAT will offer EASA Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License training program. The first intake is scheduled to commence on 17 November 2008. Successful participants will receive the ‘Certificates of Recognition’ and will be considered as having passed the written examination for EASA License (Category B). This program will be conducted by instructors that have received training in Germany and certified as an instructor for the EASA program. The instructors are Licence Aircraft Maintenance Engineers with years of experience on operating aircraft. They also have more than 10 years of experience in aviation training. For more information please contact UniKL MIAT. Futher information regarding EASA programme please click here.

UniKL MIAT had been recognize and approved by

1. Aviation Training Organization from Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia

2. EASA Part – 147 Maintenance Training Organization (MTO) with Aero-Bildung GmbH of Germany



all of you,could you all give me any opinion about this?thans a lot.

aniq,
that's just a part 66 training program. the degree from MIAt is another different program. DCA give u nothing but license. treat them like JPJ. u wanna drive a car go to driving school. then exam with JPJ n get your D license. get it? of course, an approved training school with JPJ

oh right.so if i attend that part 66 program,i should have the license by the time i finish it,isnt it so?that mean i will have a LWTR?or i still will have nothing?because that part of 'certificate of recognition' really makes me doubt about the program.

no, you're not reading this thread or u don't understand what have been said before.

no, u don't get your license. yet.
