i agree with jazzy939. i applied for TAME (traine aircraft maintenance engineer) programme with just SPM last july. and they called me for an interview last week, too bad i've got myself enrolled in MIAT now.

hello guys. i'm interested to slowly start taking EASA Part 66 B2 exam modules.

i'm 21 this year and is currently studying for Diploma in aircraft maintenance engineer (Avionics) in MIAT.

has any of you done it before? care to explain the details? especially on payment part. i don't have any credit cards and my option will solely depend on cheque. how to do it exactly?

i've done my resaerch and i already downloaded the application form,payment form and etc2 from here (http://www.caainternational.com/site/cms/contentviewarticle.asp?article=538), and i've also read through the requirement from here (http://www.licencebypost.com/easa_part_66_licence.htm#Experience_Requirements). so, form my understanding, since i've yet to complete my diploma, i can take the exam modules (12 of them for avionics) and only submit the license app once i've got all required experience, right?

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

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.

hello guys! i'm back again. talked to MIAT and my seniors. my seniors said DCA gave miat until May to sort things out or their ATO application will be gone for good. QA Miat is really a pain the ass eh?

anyway, i'm going to do a very short 1 week practical training with MHS Aviation which happens to be based at MIAT hangar next week (during miat holiday). hopefully can learn a thing or two there.

ps : the practical training is me and my friends self initiative to start completing our logbooks slowly from now on. of course, with the help of our instructor too.

hurm. if that's the case i'll find him in two weeks once the class resume. not sure about engine run, i'll update you this monday night. haha

there you go. somebody who has broad experience in DCA malaysia has spoken. it sucks, especially for me as a Semester 3 Avionics student. it's too late to quit and jump to other training organization right? all i do know right now is, to complete my logbook (during sem 5 OJT, during short training with any company that is willing to take me for 1 week mid sem break or 1 month semester break and of course, pray that miat stop b****ing around. lol)

yeap, that is what i'm planning to do.

the bold part : this is what i'm lost. if i wait for MIAT QA to call me to take the exam, god knows how long it's gona be. but if i submit my application for exam module directly to DCA, they say i won't be considered as candidate from MIAT which means if MIAT does get the ATO status from DCA in future, i won't get the privilege of having to work for 2 years to get experience before i can submit my license application, i have to work 5 years instead. am i correct?

@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?

any TAME programme at ATO can only give you a basic license known as License Without Type Rating. This is of course, you must have passed all required module exams for your license category(B1,B2 and etc), complete all the work schedule (logbook) in 2 years (since you're in ATO) first .

once you get the LWTR, the company who hire you will send you for the type rating course. if i'm not mistaken, with just LWTR, you can do the task with no problem but you must be observed by another LAE who has the type rating for the aircraft that you're working on.

i might have been wrong somewhere, please do correct me.

you must google and read and read and read. since i was just like you not long ago. i will try to explain what i already understand.

EASA Part 145 is an APPROVED MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION by EASA. you can refer here.
http://www.easa.europa.eu/approvals-and-st...SA_Part_145.pdf

LWTR is a license without type rating. to get a license without the type rating you must complete all the module exam for the license category you take and submit them along with the logbook/work schedule of 5 years (if you are non ATO student) or 2 years (if you are an ATO student).

ATO = Approved Training Organization. we've got only a few of them in malaysia and since i'm from MIAT, MIAT is not one of them yet. LOL.

TAME = Training in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. i guess you got this term from APR website? yes, their TAME programme is one of the path to become an LAE. the best one (according to one of the senior technician in MHS Aviation where i'm having my one week as a trainee courtesy of one of high rank lecturer, mr hyder (he got me this place there for one week ).

i can't answer this question
take aircraft maintenance 1 and 2 under APR

since i'm not their student and i don't want to read anything about them as i might regret of becoming a miat student. HAHAHA.

which one can faster get working and have a higher pay?
don't ask this question yet. there's no easy way in getting a license but once you get it and you enjoy working as an LAE it's all worth it (at least this is what that keeping me strive hard in my study). don't think about salary, you ask about salary in flylah i'm pretty sure all otai there (here also) will flame you

for an SPM grad student and at the same time is aiming to become an LAE (it's just one of the path to become one, the rest is your hardwork in your study too of course ). i'm pretty sure this is the programme that is suitable for you from APR.

http://www.aeroprecision.com.my/training/tame.htm

hurm

if you google around for other ATO(s), there are some other courses from other training organisations as well.

if it's EASA Part 66, not DCAM Part 66. yes, miat has that course under aeobildung? i'm not sure about this. need jazzy here.

2 batches? if we are talking about the same course i'm pretty sure the classes is still on right now sir. i saw their students in black shirt written (EASA Part 66) everyday i came to class and including this 1 week training at MHS Miat Hangar. unless those students i saw is in different course than the one you meant. hurm..

no sir. MIAT is not an ATO yet. if it is an ATO i will be taking DCAM Part 66 modules as an ATO student by now and will be happy to get the privilege of 3 years short for my experience requirement .

you have yet to enroll to any course. if your biggest intention is to get the LWTR, go for those ATO. APR and Dilog just to name a few.

@bandit94822 and all new 'future' applicants to this course.

I don't know much about MARA,PTPTN and etc. I don't know much about 'vokasional' thing either.

But, I suggest you to view this forum board and read every single threads there. spend your time about an hour and read from silly thread to important thread. once you've done reading i'm pretty sure you can get much clearer view and faster to understand rather than waiting for reply here.

flylah.com/engineers-groundcrew/

NO,

Dude, don't tell me you're interested in this field because you don't want to study so much? That's just not the way it is. There is no easy way in life.

He'd answer you in sarcastic way because you seem to lack of reading about this issue. Spoon fed. Anyway, as MIAT student i would recommend you if you really want to get license, stay away from miat and nuc. This path is tough and being in miat makes it tougher, at least for now
