TODAY MYTH : (S-OJT) ON “LIVE OPERATING” AIRCRAFTS - WHICH COMPANY TO APPLY LAH?

Hi, young souls

Happy Sunday everyone !!

TODAY MYTH : STRUCTURED ON-JOB TRAINING (SOJT) ON “LIVE OPERATING” AIRCRAFTS – WHICH COMPANY TO APPLY LAH?

We received an enquiry from a young soul THREE weeks ago about this issue – due to our hectic schedule on several “exciting new projects” lambat sikit lah (hope you are still around lah bro) - anyway ..here goes …

Before we start to apply to any company – please read and understand what the AN1101 mentioned about live operating aircraft experience :

Paragraph 4.6 (Page 4 of 8)

(1) UNDERSTANDING AN1101 AS THE GUIDELINE

Now that you have understand the experience requirements, let’s find out which companies are suitable for the category of license you are going for – you can’t collect work experience on helicopter if you are going for DCAM/EASA Part 66 – Category B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) – it doesn’t make sense , right?

No?

Confused?

Hmmm .. Okay – we will try to make it simple for you to understand .

Example :

We are pretty sure most of you are familiar with JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan) on road transport enforcement / rules and regulations etc – answer this question if you don’t mind :D

You want to apply for a driving license on passenger car from JPJ – can you use a motorbike instead of a car?????

No lah kannn .. (kalau tak tau jugak mmg hang nak kenaaa )

That means,

If you want to apply for a driving license on passenger car then definitely you need to show proof to JPJ that you have attended an approved driving school and you collect driving experience hours in a CAR !

So, its similar to DCAM Part 66 licenses lah – have a look on what category of license you are going for – then once you know then it will be easier for you to apply a specific company which operates / maintained aircrafts related to your category of license.

Except for B2 (Avionics) – you can collect the working experience on both “aircrafts” .

***(Oh yeah .. btw for those who didn’t know – the word “aircrafts” (stands for both aeroplane and helicopter) except for hot air balloon.

Paragraph 4.2 (Page 2 of 8)

(2) SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT COMPANY IN MAVCOM AND DCAM WEBSITE

Now we have reached to the part in choosing the right company to apply for your live operating aircrafts work experience.

Let’s say you have studied DCAM Part 66 – Category B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) in an Approved Training Organization – therefore how many years of working experience are required in accordance with AN1101?

YS : 1 year sir !!

9M : Nope – read again !

YS : 5 years ?

9M : Nope

YS : 3 years?

9M : Hang nak kenaaa ??

YS : Okay okay ..2 years sir !!!

9M : Good ! Why 2 years?

YS : Because of the privileges given by DCAM to those who studied in an Approved Training Organization – sir !!

9M : Good boy !!

YS : Okay sir – so no break lah?
