MY CURRENT STATUS

It was two months ago since my last post. I think some of you knew that I already completed my studies for Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. Recently, I had been rest in my home and work as part-timer for this period of time. Until here, I think someone will doubt with me that why not am I work as full-time in related aviation industry in Malaysia. So, I want to make an announcement here that I will be further my studies to Bachelor Degree level. I will noticed you all about details of my course later. Next, I think I will be re-active back to the blog to continue sharing knowledge and information about aviation field. Before that, I needed to admit that I don't know what kind of posts that I can post here and this is main reason why my post become dramatically low after I went for my practical in the end of last year. In the last, I hope anyone of you can left comment in the below of this post if anyone of you have any topics which you are interested to know and I can share with you all in coming post. I will continue to write new post in future or I will not delete my blog here if I will not continue update my blog. Thank you.

MY PLAN FOR DCAM AND EASA EXAM

This post is about my plan for both exam. I will share my planning to you all for your references in completing licensing exam.

Currently, I already passed ONLY one paper… Just sadly to tell that and a few papers had been failed. I want to tell you all is fine to fail the papers and the important is try to prepare more than last time to pass again the paper. I will share my plan in the timeline form for DCAM papers. For EASA papers, I just postponed my plan as I need financial support then I can take them as currently the exam fees for EASA are quite burden to me as each paper costs 85 GBP = almost 480 MYR unless some of you want to SPONSOR me! I just kidding you guys and girls unless you really want to do it and I will be thankful for your action.

 My Plan

From my plan above, you can see that I planned to be completed in next three years. Ya... I plan to apply frozen license two years later after I completed all the paper. However, no one can predict the future... My plan will be succeed or not, currently I am not sure. But, we need to have faith and confidence that we can be success in doing anything. This is my plan and my target. I hope this post can inspiring you guys and girls to achieve your goals and targets. In the nutshell, let's all of you to be my witnesses and I hope my plan can be work as nothing is impossible. Thank you!

MY EXPERIENCES IN DCAM & EASA EXAM

In this post, I share my experiences in taking DCAM & EASA exam in previous sessions. My latest period for taking the exam was last year, which 21 July of 2016 for Physics, DCAM and 11 July of 2016 for Electrical Fundamental, EASA. I will share all my exam details without any withhold. Here... we go!

I will share the tips for taking an exam either DCAM or EASA. FIRST, you are advised to plan your schedules to take the exam. As I said like that it is because you need to take time to prepare your exam before you enter for your exam. Just make sure that you don't have any events which are near with your exam's date bothered you to prepare well in exam. It is important that as myself faced a lot of same situation when I was taking the each paper. SECOND, try to not get each paper with frequently in short period of time. Just have small gap of time in between each paper you are taking. This step will let you be more relax for prepare your exam and the percentage of pass the exam will be more higher. In addition, not to be greedy in taking more paper in same time as you may facing failure situation. THIRD, try to get a good rest before the exam. It is as this action can let you be confidence and energetic during the exam. It is also important that get the advice from the seniors who are already passed the paper you planned to take as they may give you some useful tips in certain paper.

For your knowledge, I had been taken a fews papers in DCAM exam and one paper EASA exam. I just sadly want to say that I just passed one paper only in currently. However, I will not giving up in licensing exam and will continue my journey toward getting full license. In next post, I will share about my plan for license in future. That's all for this post. I hope you guys and girls can get some inspirations from this post. Thank you!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MILITARY MAINTENANCE CREW & CIVIL MAINTENANCE CREW

I get the idea to write this post as I get the opinion for career jobs when I came to LIMA'17. So, I decided to write a post about the difference between military maintenance crew & civil maintenance crew in this field.

The Common About Both Sides

1. They have same academic background.
2. Their job scope are same as they are repairing the aircraft.

The Difference Between Both Sides

1. Their training requirement are totally different. For the civil one, we just to pass all the paper exam, gain all the working schedules, then pass the interview from NAA. But for the military, they just need to go to course to get training from aircraft manufacturer for the specific types of aircraft.
2. The salary difference also very big. It is because as the civil one, we gain our salary by consider type-rating we have, the position of job in company and also overtime. But for the military, they pay you by consider your military rank.
3. The job scope are slightly different between both sides. We can only repair the aircraft based on the type-rating we got and they need to fix any types of military aircraft. We can understand that their jobs are quite heavy.
4. The status of aircraft maintenance engineers are very big difference in both sides. For the example, we as the technicians, we get orders from them. But for the military side, technicians get the jobs done by themselves and the engineers just get report from them. From here, we know that the jobs of engineer in military are quite easy compare to civil side.
5. The experience you will gain also different in each side. If you go to military, you can get a lot of experience as you need to face any difficulty in military. After you get retired from military and go to civil sides, you should be can easily to get jobs.

That all from me for post. I want to thank all the military personnel who gave the information about these when I met them in LIMA"17.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU GUYS AND BAD NEWS TO ME

In this post, I will tell you about which issue is good new for you guys and girls but bad new for me. Recently, I got to know from my department, Department of Aircraft Maintenance, Polytechnic Banting Selangor that our this year June intake will have 100 persons for my course. This is a good new for you guys and girls who applied this course for my polytechnic. Your chance to get choose from interview will be higher.

But in other way, it is been bad new for our seniors. We need to take short semester for lab subject at least for two weeks as they mentioned we are lack of laboratory start from this year as last year we are enough of when we are just 50 person per intake. Tomorrow, I will have my last paper for this semester final exam. I should be at home in this weekend but my plan changed when they made this kind of decision. Our students are the last to get to know this issue. Our reactions like, 'wtf?' , 'seriously?', 'they are kidding with us...'. None of us like happy about short semester or more intakes are coming.

For my conclusion, I can said that more girls are coming as I hope so is the good new for our seniors only. None of these are good news. LOL... !!!

MY FIRST INTERVIEW FOR ENTERING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE WORLD

In this post, I will share about my experience for my first interview for entering this course. My main target of this post is for anyone has interest to join this course in anywhere and who want to pass through the interview. This post maybe will have some long so be patient to see it completely. I will tell my interview story from A to Z and share some tips with it. So, let us start... NOW.

Before The Interview

You guys and girls as locals should know the procedure of apply public institution, right? So, I will not talk details about applying UPU online. About two week before the interview's date, I get the letter to ask me go to interview for this course at POLIMAS which located at KEDAH state of Malaysia. So, until here, you guys and girls where I come from, right?

Next, I share about the venue for interview during my time for your knowledge. During two years ago, all of us had been interviewed in different place. Now, I am not sure are they doing it in the same place. I will share the venue in the below.

NORTHERN MALAYSIA

MIDDLE MALAYSIA

SOUTHERN MALAYSIA

SARAWAK REGION

THESE INTERVIEW VENUE DURING MY TIME. FOR THE EAST MALAYSIA SIDE, I AM NOT VERY SURE AS MY CLASSMATES ALL FROM PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, YOU GUYS AND GIRLS ALSO CAN APPLY FOR THE DIPLOMA AND DEGREE COURSES IN A FEW POLYTECHNIC.

During The Interview

I go the venue just on time during that time as I remembered. After go through registration procedure, all of the candidates were taking pre-test in the hall. I still remember that test paper was about SPM level Mathematics. Guys and girls, you all need to prepare well in Mathematics and Physics as they are fundamental of this course.

After the test, we all gathered in the library for the interview session. During that scene, I managed to meet with my future classmates, Mahsyar, Elroy and Syeh. I want to say lucky or not, I entered the room with Mahsyar and another girl that we will not met again until right now. My interview group met the lecturers which were quite serious expression. They asked us about to introduce ourself (this is of course need to do in any interview), tell about ambitious toward future, ask about technical terms for the aircraft and how we should get this Aircraft Maintenance course which offered by government. I am still remember what reason I give to that lecturer until right now I can write a post about this event to you guys and girls.

After The Interview

In the beginning, I got the offer letter for programming course in Polytehcnic Balik Pulau, Penang state of Malaysia (My second choice for study was IT related course). I thought I lost my chance to this course. The situation continued to a few days later, I got the phone call form Jabatan Pendidikan Politeknik, one of the division of the Ministry of High Education, Malaysia.

These were my interview experience.

My Advice To The Interview Candidates

At there, I give my personal advice to all of you which may help you guys and girls in interview.

1. Please be prepare yourself in physical and mental before the interview.
2. Please be punctual on time when you are joining the interview.
3. You should be dress in formal and properly during the interview.
4. Try to get the good first impression from the interviewer.
5. You all should be have self-confidence in whatever event.
6. Try to act politely with the interviewer.
7. Try to gain their interest to you when interview.
8. You show the altitude that you really interested in the interview.

In the conclusion, maybe someone will give the comment that these are just nothing but I can said that if you maintain the advice I gave, I am sure that you can be success in any interview as these are the most basic thing to follow. THANK YOU.

A MOVIE REVIEW: SULLY

"Sully" official poster

Just now, I just went to saw movie which titled "Sully" in nearby cinema with some of my classmates. Right now, I want to make my first review to aviation movie. Start right now, first this movie is not tragedy or disaster genre movie. For who would seen it as these type of genre, you guys must be very disappointed. So, am I. I still remembered first time I saw its trailer, I thought it is tragedy movie. But it is not, it is totally a drama type of movie. The storyline is always being around the investigation after the incident. The movie also really described how the captain's emotion and feeling after the incident and during NTSB investigate his case. The movie also represented back what is the point of New York's citizens toward Captain and this incident. I can say that this movie doesn't has so much climax where will let you feel panic and afraid. This movie was shoot with recall techniques. There are a few scene of the captain recall back his memory to the process of incident before incident happened. The movie also bring how the captain and first officer take care with each other when the investigation towards them are on-going. The investigation of NTSB started with all evidences are not bring benefits to them but the captain managed to bring victory to them with one important factor in the incident, human factor. The movie ended with happy ending. If you ask me about the scene that I like the most in the movie is in the ending, which captain managed to bring the benefit evidence to him and first officer when they in the NTSB investigation. The scene that let me remembered the most is the really Captain Sully reunion with the passengers and cabin crews after a few year. They become like friends and families after the incident. If the rating is from 0 to 5.0, I will give this movie with the rating of 4.5. That's all for my review.

Notes: This is totally my own opinion to this movie. I doesn't mean to offense anyone if anyone don't agree with my point...

So you want to learn to fly?

So you want to learn to fly?

Wow! 10 years since I passed my PPL checkride.  Instead of looking back at the last decade of flying, I thought I would use my wisdom (yeah right) to dispel a few myths about making that fateful first decision.

Frequently asked questions.

1)  Can I learn to fly?

Most people are capable of learning to fly to a safe PPL standard.  It is a matter of dedication and whether or not you can pass the medical requirements, fit and proper person test, and written exams.  The exams are no harder than a year 10 (10th Grade or 4th Form) test, and there are usually classes and/or online resources available to self study.  If you suffer from a condition that prevents you from driving a car, you probably cannot fly either.  When I say dedication, I mean it.  It is a never ending process as even thousand plus hour pilots will tell you they are still learning as they go.  There are a very small percentage of people to which flying comes naturally and  I am not one of them.  What this means is, it won't come to you over night, you need to practice it to get to the point where it comes naturally to you.  How long this takes depends as much on you as it does on the quality of your instructor.  What I will say is at the end of it all, not only will you have learned to fly but you'll have learned a lot about yourself on the way as well.

2)  Am I too old/young to learn?

There are no minimum or maximum age requirement to begin learning to fly.  You must be able to physically reach the controls and see over the instrument panel, but that is about it.  There are some limits placed on other aspects, namely in NZ you must be 16 or older to fly solo, 17 or older to hold a PPL and 18 or older to hold a CPL.  I know one young fella who had won several national flying competition titles by the time he went solo at age 16, and I know of an 80 year old gent who fulfilled a life long desire to learn to fly after his family finally convinced him he could do it. 

3)  Is it safe?

Taken in a literal sense, nothing is truly safe.  In a more reader friendly way, think of it like this:  Flying and flying training is made as safe as it can be and safety is an ongoing development that Flight Schools and Govt regulators take very seriously.  The long answer is while there is always serious risk in flying, steps are always taken to actively mitigate any inherent risk involved.  It's often said that its more dangerous driving out to the airport than actually flying the plane.  To compare the statistics, in March 2015 a family of four tragically lost their lives in a light plane crash.  Since then, no one has died flying light fixed wing airplanes.  From March 2015 up to today 248 people have died in automobile related accidents on NZ roads.  When you consider that in NZ pilots fly light aircraft for around 50,000 hours a year, there's a lot of fatality free flying going on!

4)  It's really expensive isn't it?

Yes it is.  But so is that house, car or 4kHD TV you want to buy.  My point is, if you really want to do this, a way will exist where you can afford to save up for it.  It might not be particularly pleasant and there may be some hard choices involved, but see my point about dedication.  It might surprise you how little it may cost compared with other pursuits (try costing up mountain biking, skiing or scuba diving as a comparison).  My PPL cost me NZ$14,000 over two years of training which took me just over 3 years to save up, and I spend approximately NZ$3500 a year (~NZ$375 per month) keeping current, competing and going on the odd joyride.

5)  Do I have to go on and become a commercial pilot once I get my PPL?

Strangely enough, a lot of non pilots ask me this question when they find out I fly recreationally.  They automatically assume that I am going to quit my job and change careers.  The answer is no you don't.  I've been flying privately for ten years and I have no plans to go any further down that path.  Besides, there are many other paths your flying can take even in the private pilots world, blogging being one of them. :-)

6) I'm a girl.  Can I fly?

You sure can, this is the 21st century!  Having said that, women have been flying for almost as long as men have and their history of flying makes for a fascinating read if you are interested.  There is nothing stopping you getting out there and having a go, it all starts with you.  I followed one aviatrix through her training from first flight to checkride.  She went through a lot of personal challenges on her journey, but she made it and passed her PPL flight test with flying colors (pun intended).  Go and read her blog.

You Might Be An Aircraft Mechanic If....

You've ever slept on the concrete under a wing. You've ever said "Oh yes sir, its supposed to look like that"

You know what JP4 or 145 octane tastes like.

You've ever used a black grease pencil to fix an overworked tire.

You have a better bench-stock in the pockets of your coveralls than the supply system.

You've ever used a piece of safety wire as a toothpick.

You've ever been told to go get "some prop wash and a yard of flight-line."

You've ever worked a 14 hour shift on a aircraft that isn't flying the next day.

You can sleep anywhere, anytime, but as soon as the engines shut down you are wide-awake.

You've ever stood on wheel chocks to keep your feet dry.

Used dikes to trim fingernails.

Wiped leaks immediately prior to crew show.

Wondered where they keep finding the idiots that keep making up stupid rules.

You've ever had to de-fuel an aircraft an hour after refueling it.

You've used a wheel chock as a hammer.

You know more about your coworkers than your own family.

You ever wished the pilot would say "Great Airplane".

You've ever wondered why it takes a college degree to break an airplane but only a high school diploma to fix one.

You have used a wooden chock as a pillow while sleeping on a push back tug.

You have scuba dived a lavatory tank to remove everything under the sun.

You have had a pilot ask you why the valve stems on all the tires are not the same size.

You have had a steering bypass pin fall out during a blinding snowstorm while in a near red-line turn.....BOOM!!!

You have had a starter hang while performing a manual start on a RC-130!!!! You just screwed up something really expensive.....D'OH!!!!

You have seen the "northern lights" inside the cabin while being shocked by a ballast (200v).

You have had fire lick the back of your neck after getting that inop APU FINALLY started (tub removed).

You have told someone that you are an aircraft mechanic only to have them say, "But not on the engines...right?"

You have been blamed by management for looking where you were NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING.

You have wanted to put your foot up a pilot's butt on many occasions.

You have wished that you had chosen a different career!

Is Aeronautical Engineering is a Branch of Aerospace Engineering? Do you know First Airplane was designed by a Pair of Bicycle Makers?

Is Aeronautical Engineering is a Branch of Aerospace Engineering? Do you know First Airplane was designed by a Pair of Bicycle Makers?

What is Aeronautical Engineering?
Aeronautical Engineering is a sub-branch of aerospace engineering. Though few people often interchange these two terms. Basically aeronautical involve activity of designing, developing and constructing of machine planes that can fly, as commonly know by aircraft.

The aeronautical engineers primarily responsible for creation of safer and more energy efficient economical methods for travelling including aircraft, helicopters, satellites, missiles and spacecrafts.
These includes science of propulsion and aerodynamics, even it covers the development and selection of materials and equipment that are utilized in aircraft.

Aero Engineer's are part of the designing process to make the fastest vehicle. Eg: Airplanes that weighs over a million pounds can ease into the air and spacecraft travels 17.000 miles an hour.

What do Aeronautical Engineers do?
Aero engineers bring concept into reality by emphasising on the design of aerofoils(wings). Propulsion is another aspect in aeronautical engineering. The force of propulsion helps an airplane to remain in flight, and encompasses the design and development of engines. These two basic principles are considered when choice of material for aircraft design, strenght and weight. Selection of material is a crucial area of specialization for the aeronautical engineering

As a Aero graduates you can specialize in any areas including:
Structural designing, Flight mechanic and control system, Aerodynamics, Instrumentation and communication, Manufacturing and maintenance.

Is It Aircraft Maintenance Engineering or Aeronautical Engineering or Commercial License Pilot?

I found this post from other blogspot. I found it was interesting, so I share this post...

Is It Aircraft Maintenance Engineering or Aeronautical Engineering or Commercial License Pilot?

1.who is paid most?
2.which is most glamorous profession?
3.who has most responsibility?
4.who is considered as no:1 in aviation?
5.who will be having most knowledge about airplanes?  

Pilot

1.Who is paid most?

A. Pilots: As a pilot, I know from first-hand experience that starting wages for civilian pilots are very poor. Typically a pilot’s first job fresh off the lot is a flight instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI) for a flight school, and they make about 12k a year. This is not because of the hourly wage is so low, but the fact that they are only paid when in two roles (flight time, and ground). Also, it is possible for someone to make a living flight instructing, but this is usually someone who has thousands of hours of experience who usually owns his or her own plane.

To further restrict the pilot’s income, they have daily time restrictions on the amount a flight instructor can fly Once a flight instructor builds up enough time to go to the airlines, they will usually get picked up at a regional with a starting salary of 18-20k a year with a raise to 26-30k. With that said, it takes several years for a pilot to see a financial gain for the thousands of dollars and astronomical amount of time and energy they invested, but eventually, the pay reaching in the 90-120k plus a year range.

B.Aeronautical Engineers: I do not have first-hand experience for the salaries of aeronautical engineers, but I found on the below listed website that the typical salaries start around 24-150k.

C.A&P (airframe and power plant) Mechanics as they are called in the US have an average salary range of 35k-85k. I have several friends who are A&P’s and their salaries reflect the data on the listed site.

2.which is most glamorous profession?

In comparative analysis, all three (designer, operator, repairer), play an equally role, and the absents of all three are detrimental the aviation industry, along side the rest of the elemental functions of aviation infrastructure, DESPITE what others say about their individual roles which they believe and portray to be most vital.

3.who has most responsibility?

Again, all three share equally
independent levels of responsibility,

4.who is considered as no:1 in aviation?

No one in my opinion, we are all part of and intricate system

5.who will be having most knowledge about airplanes?
There are different levels and understandings of knowledge, which again are equally important with respect to the common goal of safety and reliability. The pilots have a unique knowledge and understanding to the operation of the aircraft that goes beyond a computer generated representation of an aircraft design, where as the mechanic, has a different set of vital skills that also extend beyond the classroom.

Then there’s the engineer, who uses their knowledge of Science and mathematics to bring the idea to life and produce the next generation of airplanes.

Unfortunately there have been countless, misunderstandings between R&D and operations where there was something overlooked or not considered at all, which have let to catastrophic failures. This problem was alleviated when manufacturers started having the two departments work together where they could share their unique knowledge. On top of that, advanced computer software added to the reduction of abnormalities.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING

In final words my personal note is in slight favor of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING IS GOOD AS YOU COULD KNOW MANY DIFFERENCE OF THE OPERATIONS IN MAINTENANCE. To be true this career is not so exiting.
The work of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer may not be exiting and glamorous but Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are just as vital to the aviation industry. Without AMEs you can't even imagine to fly.  
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are the nuts and bolts of aviation.
I hope this is helpful ..

Keep hitting on me ..
Happy AME !
