Ah yes, after getting LWTR. I was the one who misconstrued. lol

So they (METC) will take Cat A first eh? I see. It's probably just the way how they do things over there. All i can say is, every school has different ways of conducting their program.

About your earlier question regarding the experience (how may years) requirement, i'll try to ask around and get back to you. =)

I think he meant the OJT duration. Two years of practical experience (OJT).

What does the METC say about this? Did they specifically mention that Cat A only need one year for OJT?

I must admit i don't quite understand your question. lol

Are you referring to the courses offered by METC? If so then i think it is something best answered by the METC themselves.

Haven't you ask anyone during your ojt at MAS? lol

How many of their TAMEs make it to LAMEs in a year?

Ah yes, DCA exam. That's the real challenge there isn't it?

Indefinitely?

Well, it's probably a good move by MAS to make such decision because in some way it'll create better opportunity for those from outside training organisations to join their ranks.

I heard the Malaysia Airlines Engineering Training Centre (METC) is opening its application to the public this year. It's an independent training organisation unlike MAS TAME program.

One of the forumer here is applying for it if i'm not mistaken.

I dunno exactly how they run thins over there but from what i've been told, you don't necessarily have to work with MAS once you finish the course.

A guaranteed place with the MAS is also something i'm not sure of.

lol you can't have it easy all the time. you still need to work your ass off if you wanna go higher in this field.

Easier to secure a job, yes, i agree. But the road to license may not be as easy as it looks. You may have it easy or you may not. It depends on you basically, on how bad do you really want it.

Not MIAT? lol

Nilai is probably the best in terms of campus life. But i heard they don't even have any study week before final exams over there.

I guess i heard wrong then. lol

yea, module study have no sem breaks or mid breaks whatsoever.

They finish one module in a couple of weeks then straight away go to final exam for that particular module. Then right after that they continue with the next module.

It's a continuous study.

Gas turbine has always been interesting to me. but not as 'interesting' as recip. engine tho. lol



That sure is a lot of work. But it's good all the same. Good luck to you.

You guys are wearing white shirts as well? lol I tot they don't require you to wear any.

But only in 2nd sem. Has it always been like that or it's a new implementation?



yea, easa exam fees are kinda expensive. not to mention the easa courses.

Yea, i'm interested to know as well. lol

AFAIK, it's common for easa courses/program to take 2 years. And usually they don't make it or divide it into semesters. The students are there the whole time until they finished all of the modules.

^first pic

turbine engine air inlet?

Did you know that there are six different types of systems on an aircraft turbine engine as well as reciprocating engine?

Induction
Exhaust
Fuel Metering
Starting and Ignition
Lubrication, and
Cooling

Fun fact. lol

From what i understand, basically in a two spool configuration, there's:

N1 = gas producer speed/rpm
N2 = power turbine (free-turbine) speed/rpm

In nature, the N2 tends to decrease whenever N1 (power) is increased. And when N1 decreased, then N2 tends to increase.

So in this case (rotor system), the droop compensator is installed to maintain and stabilize the N2 rpm; as power is increased or decreased by the collective movement.

Droop compensation is achieved by a linkage attached to a bellcrank of the collective pitch control. The purpose of this linkage is to change the (power turbine) governor position mechanically to anticipate the required action as the collective is moved. If the movement was not anticipated as collective is raised, the N2 system would slow down, thus the term droop.




Yup, aircraft uses turbojet. Airliners uses turbofan as it is relatively the most quiet in operation and very fuel efficient.

I believe sea vessels (ships) employ the turboshaft type.
