Btw, when you said AA you mean American Airlines? You studying with them?

Anyway, UGPM! Thanks bro

It's Aviation Australia!
Can also be (mis)interpret as AirAsia..
Hmm the A380, did you picked that as it is easy to make the model? This is interesting! Maybe you should post some pix later when you have finished..

Guys, from what i understand from the 1st page, To be a LAME. you need to eigher have a BCAR or EASA .

i have a few question, Whats a LWTR? What course do i take so i can gradguate as a LAME, and start working for a airline, and where can i study?

About LAME, is it too late for me to start? im turning 21 next year, and im finishing up my Business diploma (July 2012) Took business last time because i didnt know what to do, so business seems to be the "safe" idea. I didnt do that well in spm also. I got 4 credits, and am not from a sicence class.

Guys, can u guide me through this career

the post that you are looking for varies accordingly to the airlines or services.

I believe you are doing LWTR course am I right? basically, you are a fresh grad with no or less experience.

For airlines like MAS, AA and also AAX, the post that you would likely get is as a Junior Tech. This is where everybody that has education also qualification starts to gain their way up to that aircraft engineers.

Be reminded that, MAS intake for Junior Tech has just passed weeks ago. MAS rarely do intakes for JT. Nowadays, MAS rely on vendors to supply the workforce be it, from no-skill to full-skilled workers.

Term no-skilled workers are those who are at least SPM leavers and they do the work like cleaning the aircraft which is also known as Aircraft Cleaners. They keep them aircrafts clean and shiny everyday. Semi-skill on the other hand is for people (fresh grad) that were un-lucky enough to get the JT post. They gotta start from down low and climb up to Mech, to JT to ST and finally to AE. This is pretty much you'd get if you were to apply with MAS. Full-skilled workers are LAEs. Usually, these LAEs are expats. Their rates are pretty much higher than our local LAEs.

AA and AAX on the other hand, they do have intakes for JT. Best bet to submit your apps by-hand at their main office in LCCT terminal building. AA and AAX though have similar names but different entities, thus you gotta submit on their own offices which is just next door to each other.

I'd recommend you to apply for AAX instead of AA since 2 of my friend just got their offer letter 2 weeks ago. Lucky them I'd say. You get to mingled with A330s and A340s.
Now, for apprentices, or in other word, Trainee Engineer. I know of one person gets to that post with his EASA B1.3. Yes, you read that right, he's in rotary wing field. He applied with MHS (Malaysian Helicopter Services) and he's lucky to be offered such post. He was told that he will be assisted regarding his work schedule collection until he is certified as a Licensed Aircraft Engineer. Type rating? Im guessing he will be rewarded that as well throughout his journey. He's based in Kerteh, Terengganu.

You see, if you have B1.3 (Heli turbine), you'd open to bigger choices. Like for now, Weststar Aviation is hiring JTs and LAEs. If Im not mistaken, Agusta Westland is also hiring (they gonna open their own hangar I think?).
Dont feel bad if you dont get the post that you wanted. Its just how things work around here. You have experience, you are hired. If you dont, you start as a semi-skill workers.
I myself is still looking for one. Lets hope for the best. 
btw, semi-skill also can start collecting ws. Also depends on the airline la, if they allow you to collect ws or not.

If you guys are new and want the extra hands on training post-graduation do drop me a pm and what's your expected remuneration .

-Only applies to those without jobs already
-Not in any way affiliated with any companies operating in LTSAAS (SZB)
-Extensive training will be provided by a veteran engineer of over 40 years.
-Chances to work with all engine variations
-Chances to work with legacy aircrafts ie: Nomad N22 (all variants) Skyvan (SC7-V3-100) Piper Warrior 2 P.Cub and much more

In support of the aviation progression of Malaysia this country needs its aviation sector to shine and (no offence tot he Indonesians) not gradually turn into the engineering spectacle of back to back failures of Indonesia's aviation performance records.

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

I have some question here =D i'm new to this post 

1.Is there other way of undergoing TAME program w/o airliners company? Scholarship from who? (fee for APR TAME is abt 90K) 

2. If i get a diploma on aircraft maintenance, what programs shd i take?
Of course, in order to take diploma i need foundation for science for 1 year and what should i pursuit after foundation? programs available are here ( MIAT programs link )if i m interested in engine, hydraulics and air frame part?

3 After i completed my diploma, what shd i do?

4. The category eg: A>aiframe, C-Engine and etc is applied in LWTR? or TAME?

sorry if my questions are silly..

Does anyone know any university offer degree programe in this field?

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

guys, is there anyone from APR here?

i'm from MIAT. and management here is taking ages to get the first exam module for DCAM Part 66 going, some of us submitted the application form to them since april last year and no news until now -,-'.

i'm thinking to enroll for the APR DCAM Part 66 Examination Preparatory Programs (Part Time).

what i would like to know is,
since i'm still a student in Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AVIONICS) and i don't have any experience in aviation field at all,

can i enroll to that course and will i qualified to take the exam module with DCA?

am i qualified to take the real module exam with DCA too?

if i'm qualified to take the preparatory course with APR in their DCAM Part 66 Examination Preparatory Programs (Part Time) but i d'm not qualified for the real module exam with DCA, it'll be a waste of time too. hurm..
this is the course i'm talking about http://www.aeroprecision.com.my/training/lwtr.htm

I checked, MARA is for bumis oni including sabah and sarawak...too bad i am a chinsese ==   

btw, Aircraft maintenance license program EASA prt 66 is??? TAME? LWTR OR?

yaya i am confused on that also....MIAT and DCA also offer the same program, DCA got TAME prog for 90k

that. that is the reason we in miat cannot start taking exam for the DCAM Part 66 if i'm not mistaken. no, i did not say DCA is offering any programme bro.

what i asked was, if i enroll myself to this APR Part Time Preparatory DCAM Part 66, am i eligible to take the exam with DCA?

as from an1101 :

4.6 Experience requirements
a) An applicant for an AML shall have acquired:
i) for category A and subcategories B1.2 and B1.4:
1. three (3) years of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft, if the applicant has no previous relevant technical training;
or
2. two (2) years  of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft and completion of training considered relevant by DGCA
as a skilled worker in a technical trade; or
3. one (1) year of practical maintenance experience on operating
aircraft and completion of an appropriately approved basic training
course.

i'm sorry if i got everything messed up.

sorry ar....mistype....its APR....

since when....diploma is license 

  btw, what shd i do after my spm result out? enroll with TAME program under APR for june or etc?(please recommend) ? i cant attend april one coz  there are some assessment test i have to do on 6th april

sorry for silly question 

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?

Yeah I plan to call DCA after i get my SPM results.
But right now,all I can think about asking them is
-which suitable place study and take license
-fee structures
-benefits and cons of the institute
-minimum practical years have to work before can take license exam

Any other things I should add on?

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?

Mr jazzy please correct me if i'm wrong,
in simple words,
Type rating = only given to you after you complete basic license by the company QA.. if you were to work on B747, then u'll get B747 type rating.. dun worry this much, still a long journey to reach here.. 

I don't know how APR operates, but if students are given the options to choose their own trade, for example you wanna choose 1.1 Aeroplanes- Turbine, some modules or exams u take are the common/same  modules with other trades, only a few are unique to 1.1 Aeroplane-turbine

@jazzy939 and other sifoos.
I want to know about getting a B2 license from CAA UK. No, don’t ask me why or what not, I was just simply doing research about getting license there. it' my curiosity and I could not find it at 1st page either, the link is not working.

Okay, here it goes :

I want to know about Part 66 License from CAA UK. Specifically, B2 (Avionics). These are all the documents I’ve read (yeah, sem break ma, got a lot free time to read ). I might have missed or misunderstood something. So, please do correct me.

The Engineer’s License Guiding Documents :
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/ELGDBook_07_WebVersion.pdf
Section E, Category B2 License :
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/177/8355%20Section%20E_07.pdf

From my understanding, to get B2 license from CAA UK as a self starter applicants, not ATO students and etc, these are all I need :

1. Finish Module (all 12 of them, in Malaysia I guess we need to take them at British Council priced at 40 pounds each or RM350 per module if I’m not mistaken )

2. The minimum age to hold a Part-66 license is 18 years. In order to certify, the minimum age is 21.

3. Category B2 applicants who have not attended a part-147 approved course of training should have at least 5 years practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft. Experienced engineers within the UK, such as Skilled Workers, Armed Forces, Coast Guards and etc and these where I should get my logbook signed.

Is there anything else that I might have missed or misunderstood sir?

still active? Just found out about this thread..already completed my b1.1 and b1.3 easa part 66 lisence now looking for a job

yes about 2 weeks ago..from MIAT

Hello guys.
I have a few questions to ask, that might have been asked and answered somewhere in between the 115 pages of this thread, but lets face it, it's too long of a thread for me to go through. So please be gentle with me

I am an 3rd year Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have 1 year of studies to go to complete my degree. My family has been in the aviation industry for years, but not as Engineers.

My query is, can I apply for LAME in airlines like MAS and SIA? The thing is, I heard that MAS is bringing in Felda SPM leavers to join their program, does that mean I'll join them as well? Seems like my 4 years studying my degree would be wasted then

My dad, he works in Singapore. He's told me that in order to take LAME in SIA, you'll need a degree minimum. But the thing is, I love Malaysia yo! Anyone doing LAME in MAS? How is it like? And will there be a difference since I have my degree?
And also, what's the pay like once I've passed?

I am also planning to intern over in MAS within the coming months, to fulfil my course requirements.

TAME? TAME != LAME? 

Oh, why can't I just take LAME?

Edit: Okay, wait. I just saw the link
So what do you think I should do, after I graduate? I would really love to join the aviation industry, but the thing is, there're so many different people telling me different things
