Hi could I please know what does Part 66 and 147 mean, and what are the differences between the two?
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply... For your information, Part 66 is for AMEL issues which related to Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License which Part 147 is related Approved Training Organisation... Like that, do you understand?
DeleteHi there..i believe part 145 already been replaced by CAMO. I forgot the AN. Might be 6101
ReplyDeleteI already check with the DCA Malaysia's website... Still the same content... Haven't change anything yet.
DeleteIt is notice 6501
Deleteaiyoooh anon pandai2 said got replaced...got read AN or not...pandai2 simply quoting
Deletecome i give u the answer: AN 6101 is part M or so called CAMO as u wish...AN 6501 is part 145
Hello. I have Some question about DCAM PART 66 license. Please answer the flowing question.
ReplyDelete1.Does DCAM part 66 License is equivalent EASA part 66 license?
2.Which country will accept the DCAM license?
3.What is the process of convert DCAM part 66 license to EASA part 66 license ?
Hello Antor,
Delete1. Yes, they are equivalent. The only difference is DCAM is for who works in Malaysia and EASA is for whole Europe and middle east countries.
2. It depends on the NAA each countries. I am not sure about it.
3. Currently, DCA Malaysia is NOT recognized EASA part 66 in Malaysia. So, it is not possible to convert EASA part 66 to DCAM part 66 license. Otherwise, I am not sure about from DCAM to EASA so you can ask this question to EASA as they may answer your this question.
Thank you.
aiyooh Zjian Q3 Antor ask something u answer something else...answer is there is no way to convert any lic to EASA lic lah...they never accept it since day 1 of EASA
Deletefor Q2 i tolong answer a...few countries that accept dcam lic: OZ, NZ, SG, Brunei, HK, Indo, Thai, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait
The thing is sometimes the rules and regulation is abit diff. Even lesen memandu pun not all country bole convert cuz the way they operate is abit diff. So there is no such thing as convert. But u may check the requirement needed to have caam license as an EASA license holder. Sometimes they change the requirement and rules.
Deletehello,
ReplyDeletei would like to ask a question :
i am one of the aviation college student. i have taken a few dcam exam modules in the aviation college. my question is - if i want to take a dcam exam module from outside, i mean taking it at any dcam branch personally, can all these examination results be combined together ?(dcam exam taken in the college and dcam exam taken privately at dcam branch)
Hello,
DeleteSorry for late reply... For your question, I am not sure about it and I think you should DCA Malaysia that side for this question. From my own opinion, I think you can do like that but I am not very sure.
can combine...but same mod to be taken at same place lah
DeleteHello,
ReplyDelete1.Is it possible to work middle east or asian country with DCAM license .
2. If any foreign country citizen do DCAM license course in Malaysia and get DACM license then have any possibility to find job in malaysia ?
1. possible to work anywhere even without dcam lic...just need work permit lah aiyoooh
Delete2. can lah...just get a company to employ you that will go through the hassle to get a work permit for you...but then local with dcam lic also alot unemployed...how?
Shut up
DeleteHello there, I need an advice on how to start my career, I am diploma holder (Helicopter Engineering) at Unikl Miat and just finish my 2 years B1.3 EASA Programme at the same training organization this July. I have completed 9 modules and 3 still pending. And, recently DCA stated that EASA no longer can convert to DCAM, so should I focus on working outside Malaysia? I need an advice how to start my career as I am very desperate at the moment. Thank you 🙏
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteFor answer your question, I can give two options for your advice. First, what is your plan for start your career? In Malaysia or work abroad? If you plan to work in Malaysia, I suggest you can find those companies that still accept EASA license, get your EASA license first and then proceed with the DCAM license since local aviation industries are accepting DCAM license holders due to our DCA Malaysia's policy. Second option is like you state in your question, work outside Malaysia. For this option, since you are getting to complete all EASA modules, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to gain working experience and collect working schedules if you get to work in one of EASA approved maintenance organisations at overseas. For my conclusion, I can said that it is your choice to choose your path yourself and I just can give an advice to you. I hope you can get what you wish to get. Thank you.
I am an international student planning study ame in malaysia since I wanna work in middle east I need have easa certified license so can you please suggest/advice with the best universities which is easa certified???
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply. For my suggestion, you can get it in Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT). It is Approved Training Organisation (ATO) in Malaysia and accept international student. You can search for this university. Thank you.
Deletecan we get both EASA and DCAM licence?
