It’s been 18 month since I enrolled into flying academy!
Ever since that a lot of my buddy out there most of them from my friendster who wanted to know what’s the requirement to be an airlines pilot… so since I got this blog thing why not I used it for other “pilot wannabe” to get info about how to get into airlines… let’s start!!
There are 3 types of pilot licenses. By obtaining a Private Pilot License (PPL) you can fly planes throughout Malaysia carrying passengers but without charging fees for your services. Here, you become a private pilot.
One can work for a commercial airline after obtaining Commercial Pilot License (CPL) – you are a commercial pilot. And finally, you can fly as a captain on a large aircraft with Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) – you are airline transport pilot. Pilots with CPL and ATPL are classified as professional pilots.
Sound Interesting??
Requirement!!
* Malaysian Student - SPM with 5 credits inclusive of English, Mathematics and one Science subject.
* Foreign Student - GCE 'O' level or equivalent with passes in similar subjects.
**Age - Minimum 18 years old (max 65!!)
And of course you health must be in tip top condition both physically and mentally in order for You to meet the First class aviation medical requirement!!
Worry of wearing glasses??
Hahaha, don’t worry too much, You can be an airlines pilot, No problem at all!!
Where can I enroll??
Asia Pacific Flight Training (APFT)
Integrated Training N Services (ITNS)
KL International Flying Academy (KLIFA)
Duration of this course??
Normally the academy promise you that you can graduate in 18 months!!
But from my experience it is NO LESS than 20 month it may be more depends on the serviceability of the aircraft, Weather and other thing that can delay your progress in the academy later!!
What Will I Learn @ The Academy??
Navigation / Meteorology / Air Law / Radio Telephony / Theory of Flight / Instrument / Engines / Airframe System / Loading / Performance A / Human Performance & Limitation / Radio Aids / Aircraft Electrics System
How Is The Life As A Trainee??
