PILOTING CAREERS IN MALAYSIA

Asia Pacific is the world’s fastest-growing aviation market brought on by rapid fleet modernisation and growth in air travel across the region. This market however could face an acute shortage of pilots and aircraft technicians in the next decade. According to plane maker Boeing, Asia Pacific would need some 185,600 new pilots and 243,500 new technicians through 2030. Southeast Asia will require 51,500 pilots and 67,400 technicians, accounting for 28 percent of all Asia Pacific demand based on the number of aeroplanes ordered.

Airlines in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines have placed orders for hundreds of planes over the past year, said Boeing. In Malaysia, air travel is becoming a very crucial driver of the country’s tourism. After the recession, the local aviation industry is expected to pick up from this year onwards. This is made evident by the 10 new airlines LCCT KLIA 2 will be hosting this May 2013.

SALARY RANGE

Co-pilots have an annual salary of 72,000 to 110,000 whereas second officers/ cadet pilots earn RM48,000 with annual increment.

ASIA's EASA & DCA MALAYSIA EXAMINATION CENTRE IN MALAYSIA

In this post, I will introduce Malaysia Aviation Academy (MAvA), our main EASA's examination centre in Asia Region, which located in Malaysia... For your information, there are a few institution that had been approved DCA Malaysia where they can conduct DCAM exam for their students in their institution. Although like that, we are still facing difficult when we wanted to book for the DCAM exam. Back to the point, MAvA is a academy which under the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) which trains their students to be a professional Air Traffic Controller. So, the academy is just provided with ATC's courses... For the EASA exam, it is the main venue in Asia where everyone whether he/she are taking pilot exam or aircraft maintenance exam, they will come here to take it...(Beside MAvA, Nilai University which located at Nilai,Negeri Sembilan, they are also approved EASA Exam Center by EASA,next time I will introduced this University) For the persons who are usually come here to take exam, they are familiar with this place. For the people who haven't been yet, please let us see what is inside there...

Examination Hall

It got about 50 computers to conduct computer test, but usually they just accepted about 40 candidates in every time exam only.

Candidates are waiting for enter the exam. For my observation, candidates are come from many places. Some are students, some are the professionals in the aviation field. They surely not all taking same papers.

  

View Inside the academy...

Their Academy & Auditorium Blok

       

   

Cafeteria

I had been there to eat one time. I just can comment their food and services can be said that in the rate of five star...

Administration Blok

Auditorium

Simulator Blok

In this part, I feel quite disappointed... I can't get closer into the building... They are now having renovation... From the response I heard from the officer, visitor usually not allowed to visit their simulator room... For your information, their simulator is mainly for Air Traffic Control training. It can be said that it is the only one place has ATC simulator in Malaysia for civilian training purpose.

   

Library

Their library is located up stair from the cafeteria.

   

The condition in the library is very nice. It is my first time visit to this place. The librarian is a very nice person. I just met him first time then we could have a very good conversation in a limit time.

   

The computers in the library are accessible with internet. The collection of books in Air Traffic Control course can be said that very comprehensive... Thanks to the help of librarian, I could get the information which I want to prepare for introducing Malaysia Aviation History in later post.

The collection of magazines are quite complete in many kinds of category... I also find some aviation magazines which I can totally access them online, next time I will try to get link, share it to you guys.

What Is Aircraft Maintenance Engineering ?

             My question is what is aircraft maintenance engineering? I know that someone will said that this is their first time to hear about aircraft maintenance engineering. In the engineering, the most common and the most favourite course like electronic engineering,electrical engineering,civil engineering, mechanical engineering and others. But the engineering course that I mention here is also a very hot and popular course in universities nowadays... So, you guys have any ideas that what this course is? Let's me tell you. Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer this job,  they keeps aircraft in working order through maintenance, repairs and inspections. The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, regulates mechanical work on aircraft, and individuals entering this field must meet specific training and certification requirements. Aircraft maintenance engineers must be prepared to carefully follow FAA regulations and work long hours on emergency repairs. So, Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component.Maintenance may include such tasks as ensuring compliance with Airworthiness Directives or Service Bulletins.The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they carry out.
