ok after going through all da pages...(fuh...)...i can conclude that from miat:-

degree --> LWTR --> 2/3 yrs working xperience --> LAME??

correct me if im wrong...

boy,
you need to do a lot of reading and comprehension!

i guess so...completely lost...

Cardin,
You're not alone it seems... however, I was referring to the previous posting before you did!

BTW, you were right on MIAT's degree programme.. I think it's a bachelor programme, right?

It's not until a year into miat that i finally understood how the aviation industry works. Especially the licensing part. DCA's LWTR, EASA licenses, FAA etc.

hirari,
better late than never!

isnt it suppose to be diploma/degree-->2/3 yrs working xperience --> LWTR--(type rating)--> LAME?

azameel,
that is more 'precise'

not the "(type rating)" but the sequence of it
experience before getting the LWTR
not after LWTR

That is pretty obvious.

I think the process of obtaining LWTR and type-rating varies between each person.

Some can straight away sit for exam after finishing training course (given they already completed and submitted their work schedule) and get their LWTR (given they passed the exam on first attempt) and then get their type-rating (depend on how lucky you are I guess ).

And some may take longer, as they have to retake exams (if they fail first attempt). When they get LWTR, they may have to wait couple of years before getting their type-rating.

is there any diff between this course and aeronautical engineering?

almost everything

Aeronautical engineering is more towards the study of designing and/or manufacturing aircraft. For instance, if you're an aeronautical engineering degree holder, you may work for aircraft manufactures such as Airbus or Boeing etc. where you will be developing new aircraft designs or improving the ones that are already there.

Whereas in aircraft maintenance, it is where a group of people in a company (usually airlines) that will be responsible in maintaining the well-being of the aircraft that the company possesses i.e. change engine/lubrication oil, check tyre pressure etc. (a close example would be like the mechanics in a car service center). But unlike those car mechanics, aircraft maintenance personnel must have the appropriate approval or license in order to work on an aircraft. And these aircraft maintenance people will fix any problems on the aircraft with respect to the specifications and instructions drawn up by the aircraft’s manufacturer.

Aviation is a big field. I tried to dissect the difference between aeronautic and maintenance the best I could. I hope this helps a bit if not much. =)

Others who know better, feel free to add or comment.

yup,
with Aeronautical engineering you'll be playing with formulas,calculation, science, physics etc
while a LAME will execute a task or job (hands on) according to the instruction(SB,AD Amm etc)

alrite.. so for aeronautical engineering wad must u take first?? any degree or diploma?? which country is best for aeronautical??

USA =)

in malaysia we got:

-spirit aerosystem, subang
-ctrm, malacca
-aero composite, malacca
-airfoil, kota damansara

I'm a student of AATC (advance aeronautic training centre)

From my expriance...DON'T GO THERE.. It's a waste of time and money.

I studied there for about 1 year and a half..and stop study there now.

AATC is NOT APPROVED CAA!!!! but the Executive Jet is..


The disciplined there is worst then the kindergarten .. student who dont come to class about a month still can sit for the exam as long he paid the fees..? weird huh. I know that almost all airliners don't take student from AATC. (don't ask me why)
Some of the student there can hardly speak English... you know...you can studied there if you have 5 pass in your SPM so easy..
That place is for loser only... but there a few good student... they don't have a choice cause there have taken loan for the school and studied for more than a year and just know that the school has been screwed with them all along.

Now I'm going to study in Bristol, UK next month..

Recommend City of Bristol College.. this college is one of the training school that is approved by the CAA plus they has alot of Malaysian studying there. .

You can get more info at this site http://www.cityofbristol.ac.uk/coursefinder/CourseDetails_he.aspx?uiid=216&classid=15

For your info this college intake is April and September

Duration 2 years...
first year 7,000 and second is 5,000 pound sterling (Luckily now currency is 1 pound is 5.26 ringgit)
