It's the contribution of the senior/otai in LAME here.

i think flydamnit more towards pilot.

easy and less work means that you'll be lack of experience and knowledge. the license itself is the prove of your competency. DCA and other authority handing this thing will be very strict in this thing to prevent accident from happening due to engineer lack of knowledge, experience and competency.

yep. aircraft engine are by far more complicated than any other engine. they're design to be compact. meaning there are many parts cramped together.

study about aircraft engine a bit in my therodynamic subject since some ship do use gas turbine engine(a type of engine which is almost similar to aircraft engine just a bit different in design)<<--for aircraft is turbojet engine if i'm not mistaken.

all te system you've mention also located onboard ship. just that it is more bigger compared to aircraft but it is much more simpler than aircraft. why? becoz the part is big. easier to maintain compared to small parts. imagine the main engine for ship is about the half the length of 4-storey school block.


i've notice that actually, a qualified marine engineer and licensed aircraft maintenance engineer actlly doing the same job juz that we're servicing different vehicle. we also don't need degree to get enter. juz experience and competency. a degree grad cannot become LAME without license and they also cannot be marine engineer without Certificate of Competency.

our pay is also based on our competency and type rating.

fo aircraft u have type rating : boeing 727, airbus 380

for ship u'll have : steam, motor, Steam & motor, electric, gas turbine. bla3.

haha. we're the same. actlly. realise it long ago until now tell it. haha.

let say i just go to any airline and apply technician position. after 4 years i can still become LAE(sit for the exam and collect type rating) despite i dun have certs like diploma in aircraft maintenance(do they accept other diploma) right?

hrmmm... i can't find those course in miat website. are u referring to diploma?
