Hmm...since last two years I heard that DCA want to change to EASA. I pity some of the LEA's who have to take the exam for EASA. I mean the new guy. Well, I just dont see why they dont want to adopt EASA Part 66. Some said that Malaysia still want to control their airspace cause when EASA take over, the law weill be made by EASA.Ok,maybe not 100%.

thats what i heard at first, and i am trained under easa part 66 at first,
in fact i finished cat A courses, but now im studying the same thing again in bcar ,
just hope my establishment date doesnt delay

Halo, you same batch but not same group. hehe, but ur group alot geng 1

I think you heard wrong, obviousy NOT from DCA. They want to change NOTHING!. It is the industry that is pushing them to change!
IF I am DCA, I would say the same thing too, 'Why should I'? Whats wrong with BCAR Section L?

I think the majority of the trainees still haven't the faintest idea about air legislation, let alone the existence of EASA-66 in the first place

Hi, I m new and currently is studying at TAFE college in Seremban..Not MIAT and NILAI..After obtain diploma course , we will need to work at least 2 years to collect our module schedule.. May I know how to choose which section of license u want to be?A/C or X/R?

can u tell more on the program u are attending now,
interested to know
can make it as a gudeline as well

the license is granted by DCA, so u need to attend the A oral and written exam to get the A license, same goes to the other license,not to forget the air leg written exam, but before that u have to collect you workschedule accordingly, take Airframe worskchedule for A licence, R related workschedule for R license etc.

i feel u, jazzy.

to all LAME-to-bes, LAME is about carrying out ur job as ruled out by the law. those already in training program SHOULD already learn in air legislation subject. no one interested about this though, and just interested how to be there the fast way. my little advice, if u don't know exactly what u're doing, u'll get lost. i've seen people, my own friends, jumping ships here n there and end up with none of what they're pursuing. get ur grip right on air legislation. now it's time to introduce remind u guys about ICAO. read about it!

to SPM leavers, to be aircraft maintenance engineer, u need aircraft maintenance engineer license produced by the COUNTRY which the aircraft u're working with. 9M-xxx means it's malaysian registered aircraft n u need malaysian license produced only by DCA of malaysia. EASA-based license are produced by the country that conduct the exam, and it don't give u approval to release malaysian aircraft, hence why should your company pay u as engineer if u can't sign off an aircraft? here comes the 'conversion' step, to get malaysian license u need to adopt malaysian law.

forget my little game a few pages before (u guys not getting my prosperity burger anyway ) and think over these options:
- fast n no brainer way, join any TAME program (yeah, now it require diploma to join, not so fast anymore for spm leavers)
- need a diploma to frame on the wall? join Nilai, MIAT, etc which offer diploma program with LWTR added value. careful with your choice here. MIAT is the only DCA approved school n enjoy AN no 85 priviliges. u're not tied down to anyone n the diploma can provide a little safety net.
- want to work in other country? get THAT country license. wana come back to malaysia? convert the license to malaysian license. (alegedly, some believe this way is easier than sit for DCA exam for malaysian license). conversion step vary depending on license's country of origin.
- lastly, think about your dream employer/company. what are they looking for. check the company rivals. also the rest of the industry.

those already in a program/training, just stick with whatever u stuck with.
and read ur air legislation book.
and polish ur english.

and there're piston-engined aircraft and helicopters too. not just 737 n 747.


hkcasper, syllabus covered in those licenses differ from each other. different work schedule area too. the best person to ask is ur lecturer/instructor. they know what u covered in ur study n where u sit/fit in the industry. share with us here too, ok?

lestat,
A good insight and nicely worded as a quick guide to the trainees

IF they are still NOT clear about the approach, the job, the requirements, oh my... GOD help them and the industry..

can i know where to buy books about aircraft maintenance to read before i enter nilai.

what book u all using?

what makes me confuse is the easa-bcar controversy
coz at first im following easa part 66 but now im following bcar section L

however i learn a lot from u jazzy, not to forget lestat too
thanks a lot

bt here mentioned tat nilai is oso DCA approved? o i misinterpreted?

"Suitably qualified personnel especially those allowed to certify aircraft airworthiness command high salaries and are highly sought-after. Approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia, the Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering has been innovatively packaged to provide you with a dual qualification as well as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) * licence."

what about MAS training school?
and also apr

Ahh... simple. Write to them (Nilai College) and ask them the DCA Approval Certification Number or a copy of the Certificate.

As per lestat posting:

"MIAT is the only DCA approved school n enjoy AN no 85 priviliges."

Do you understand the meaning of the sentence "THE ONLY"?

dont scold me le
asking only

I do not scold people azameel. Whats the point?

This is scolding: Which part of the word "the only" that you do not understand?!

Reading is one thing, comprehension is another. Looks like you should improve on that part too, right?

im just carying out a duplicate inspection

i still have a lot of things to be improved

Can you clarify what you mean by that?

first of all, it has nothing to do with a real duplicate inspection
i am just double checking, i thought Mas training school is a dca approved training school,
so i thought maybe lestat forgot to mention that,
but now, i know that i am wrong and what he mention is correct

so will thr any problems i mite face if i pursue the course in a non-DCA approved school??
