  1. Hmm.. was this official thing from DCA? I dont remember filing in my SPM results into my CPL or ATPL application to DCA. Though i know flying schools do conduct interviews for cadets to filter out their own requirement. Requirements for application are all in the forms. Since you studied overseas, im not sure la bro, but dont give up, sure got some way one.
  2. Bro, really kah you cant convert your license because you dont have SPM requirement? Did they write to you on the requirements? Cause not all cadets in my ex-flying school were like top A1 students or something and they still did their ATPL papers. Hmm.. Well,just to share, talking about academic requirements for the airline, i have a batchmate who is 27 years old and his SPM results didnt meet the requirement for MAS, but he had a good degree and a good working experience for 6-7 years. Another batchmate is 26 and he has an engineering degree. SPM results would be very important if you are a fresh school leaver and probably if you are still in college or university. but if you have a degree and some workign experience it would really help,as they always look at your highest academic qualification. I wear glasses, left and right eye power around 450, with 70 Astigmatism. When i went for the first medical check up, the doctor explained that for your first class 1 your eye power matters.i cant remember what the maximum power was. You will only know if you see a AME. But once you are selected, and when you are renewing your class 1 yearly in your career, there is no limitation to your eye power as long as you wear glasses and your eye is correctable to 6/60 .
  3. Absolutely gorgeous. Cant wait to have a chance to touch and feel.
  4. *faints and dies* AWESOME!!! Norman and taiko's im waiting for more !
  5. No such thing bro. You have to come back and do your conversion here if you do ur flying in AU.
  6. YES!!! It was o 4th of October.. OMG! We were so excited you guys waved at us!! And just couldnt imagine it woud be someone from MWings..this is so cool..

  9. Some recent action in Langkawi More is on the way. Stay tuned
  10. Dude no need to say sorry..everyone is learning man even ME =)
  11. Yeah its practically a flying brick man. At best glide speed of 85kts we have a ROD of 1100-1300 fpm. Farid's story is amazing. For a person to crash 10 days ago and wanting to fly again soon, thats a lot of courage. Hope he gets back in shape fast.
  12. In HMA, we used to finish all our ground school hours and papers before we started to fly. Once we were done with ground school ,only then we were transfered into the flying wing to start our PPL flying and so on.Thats what my batch and the batches before mine did. But recently they changed that system to an integrated flight training (which obviously is what its suppose to be and what other schools do),meaning, after your DCAT ground stage, you go and do your 42 hours of PPL flying. And once you're done with PPL flying you come back to ground school to do your CA6 and CA2 papers. And thereafter continue your CPL and Twin engine flying once you complete those papers. Thats what i meant with the word integrated ,refering to the way our training was implemented here in HMA. And FK, I think(maybe) we are using the same charts you did when u were here man. The photocopied ones
  13. Its about mismanagement of flying schools by the previous management,knowing they were unable to supply the demands of the airline or rather the industry itself. The reason all this 'delay' came about is because the flying schools had too many intakes in such a short time.The reason why MAS has a backlog is because of that initial delay! MAS surely did their calculations before sending their cadets and sure enough the flying schools just screwed it up. Its not about the airline having too much cadets, its just they never expected them to finish this late and all their timing..LARI!! MAS is riding this boat with us . Well, all said and done, im thankful im where i am and things have impoved. The current batches joining HM have no delays whatsoever. My batch is just stuck in between and since the damage has been done long time ago, we just have to sit it out and have fun while this things last (i guess). And hey, im having loads of FUN!
  14. Bro, we are in the same boat. I am already here for 14 months, finished all my ground papers, and i have 23 hours too!
  15. Well..was at the simulator building the other day and saw many guys coming in for phsycomotor throughout the whole day. reminded me of the past. Dont worry guys, if you meet the requirements you WILL be called up. Its just the matter of time so keep waiting. No harm giving MAS HR to ask about the status of your application. Just dont keep bombarding them la.. My batch has completed all the ground school papers. We are currently waiting to start our flying phase. Been waiting for two months already and there is no word from the school when we should be on our way back to kick start our flying. Imagine we haven touched the aircraft even after a year being in that school. And now we are all back in KL wasting our precious time . So guys waiting is a game you have to play when you are in this part of the world. The only way to wait your way through this is to keep your passion high , because thats your best frend when you are in troubled times. Personally being in HM IS FRUSTRATING, but if you like what you do, you will be able to close one eye and enjoy whatever you have at the moment. HM is improving and now is a good time to join because the batches after me have all started to do the course integrated like other school or rather like how its suppose to be done. And they are pretty much on track. So thats pretty much whats happening on my side..just know this guys, the journey to become a pilot doesnt end after your interview and your medical check-up guys..trust me..its a long way to go..
  16. Let them take their time la people..they will announce sooner or later..its just the matter of when..
  17. They're probably considering the duration at the flying school and the line training.
  18. the principal said today morning it was a manufacturing defect, so i suppose they didnt want to take chances..
  19. The engine failure was caused by a crack in the fuel pipeline. They lost fuel pressure and eventually it led to the engine failure. All HM aircraft was grounded for around one and a half hours and they replaced the fuel pipelines of all the aircraft. They were back in the air again for night flying later in the evening..
  20. Not the first..so much for the rosy view everyone sits and gazes at..
  21. Noise canceling headphones are used in MH's F and J class too.
  22. REALLY?of course when you keep 'retiming' your flights. Anyways introduction of roti canai and nasi briyani is a good move. Kudos for that.
  23. A string of incidents of the same nature in such short time span doesnt quite look coincidental, or at least it would give a real good reason for a thorough investigation.
