Whoa.. taking the easy way out huh? Will till your Training Manager finds out!

Thank you Orpheus_Thanatos! We wish there are more like you in the industry.

Nilai College should be in better position to explain about their diploma programme unless you don't trust them!

What is there to explain that at the end of your study you will get a Diploma In Aircraft Maintenence Engineering. What can you do with this?
So far you can get into MAS's Bridging Junior Technician Programme at best.I believe this is with Certificate of Completion of EASA-66 modules.
Other than that.. nothing.

Congrats! So how was it? Whats your toughest questions?

Aircraft Mechanic Level 1 will be THE ticket to join the aviation industry from scratch. I think APR-ATC is about to start the class mid this month, can you make it?

The best thing right now is to complete your course then later decide which path you wanna take. Remember, there's always more than one way to 'skin a cat'..

You need a LICENSE to be an aircraft maintenance engineer. For this purpose you must enrol in an ATO(Approved Training Organization) approved by DCA Malaysia. So far out of 5 ATOs in Malaysia, only 2 come out tops, APR-ATC and DTS (Dilog Training Services). DTS is new player about 2 years while APR-ATC has been a long time player for 15 years.
There's always a demand for license engineers here in Malaysia and of course in middle east. Call or drop in those ATOs and talk to them for more clearer guide and explanation
DO NOT enrol into any establishment(college, universitis, etc) that is NOT APPROVED by DCA Malaysia.. last count there are about 13 of them..

Cat A is used for Licensed Technicians. They have limited certifying priviledges.
Cat Bs are for Licensed Engineers. B1 being Mechanical, B2 being Avionics.
There is no requirement to hold a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance if you want to be a Licensed Maintenance Engineer. As I mentioned earlier, you MUST have a license issued by our DCA (Department of Civil Aviation).
Nilai College is just an academic college. Thats about it.

India? Study what?

Just read and replied.. I did not go there as often as here...

It's ok then maryjane!
Hand it over to your junior..
softcopy would be 'better'!

What the hell are you talking about?
DCA is not offering any programme. They are the regulatory body, its their syllabus that we're following for crying out loud!
Its APR-ATC that is offering a 4 year course(ex-SPM) TAME costing RM90k.
MIAT is still under AN85 BCAR Section L ATO. They have not submitted their revised MTOE to comply with AN1201 for DCAM Part 66 syllabus compliance.
APR-ATC is about to get their Part 147 ATO mid April.

post in error..

You can't because you have a test on the 6th.?
When is the APR's assessment day?

C'mon. You have to decide between flying and fixing planes. They're not the same 'apples' if you know what I mean..

This should be self explanatory.
Search for similar Boeing's report.

Any mentions of depleting fossil fuel? What say you bandit?

I seriously think your view about aircraft maintenance is terribly narrow, focussing on fossil fuel that powers the engines that is going to deplete soon. Do you know they have jet engines running on hydrogen, etc?

Answer this.
Does it really matter what powers the engines, fossil fuel or warp drive or whatever the propulsion mode is?

Where does this requirements to have maintenance crew and certifications for airworthiness come from?

Take your time to answer.

The whole world is looking at you kiddo.

From the industry, only 2 names stand out.
1. DTS
2. APR-ATC

Both are Approved Training Organizations.
DTS strength in avionics ie Cat. B2
APR-ATC strength in Fixed Wing and Rotary wing. The ONLY ATO approved for rotary wing.

Stay away from MATA as you will 'pass out' WITHOUT A LICENSE!
Personally I think what they offer is like a scam/daylight robbery. Their Approval has lapsed since last year and no submission was made to renew as per AN1201 to qualify for Part 147 ATO.

Anything else?

MAS/AirAsia stopped the Trainee Engineers programme for quite sometime!

Tomorrow or saturday, go to PWTC, seek out DTS or APR booth and ask them everything you want to know.
Do not be mislead by EASA licence. If you're NOT type rated and lack in experience(minimum 5 years as an engineer), you have no 'value'.

Study parts of the plane? NO. You study EVERYTHING. You only specializes in AVIONICS or MECHANICAL TRADE OR BOTH!!

Why bother. I am in training and this is what I do for a living. Of course I am a licensed engineer with 27 years experience under my belt. You still need a second opinion?

Somebody has got to do the 'dirty job' if you know the 'cliche'...
Not many LAEs have talent to teach eventhough they are very knowledgeable and experience. Rather let someone make a mess, let me do it..

'Teaching' is also a passion of mine.. I like sharing knowledge, skills and experience to those who wants to learn.
No point of me going to the grave with these knowledge, right?

Here's a hope.
Talk to Hornbill Skyways. They're about to embark on their Trainee Engineer Programme in collaboration with APR-ATC with the support from Yayasan Sarawak. Training will be in Kuching, of course. APR will be doing a road show in Kuching soon. Pls write to training@aeroprecision.com.my to inquire about this.

I am in training= I am an INSTRUCTOR.

Yes you are right. This not a SIMPLE course or JOB.. Good to know you've seen the 'light'..
