Min Chun 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2010 Hey guys! Been inactive for a while but I come up with this, which I think would be kind of beneficial to pilot-wannabe. If you want to be self-sponsored, you might want to look on this as well. The price is kind of reasonable I guess, comparing to the amount charged in Malaysia. http://basair.com.au/index.php/learn-to-fly/international-students/malaysian-students.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Basair is pretty good. But here's another option - in Adelaide, which may work out cheaper for its lower-than-Sydney living costs. CX cadets train with these mob, IIRC. http://www.adelaideftc.com/about-aftc/overseas-students Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Min Chun 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Yea, was it used to be named as Flight Training Adelaide? And, I guess you would need to do conversion upon your graduation in the Adelaide Flight Training Center to be recognized by DCA right?

Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 it may be reasonable over there, but please, save yourself from the hassle and money spent doing a conversion back here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, I guess you would need to do conversion upon your graduation in the Adelaide Flight Training Center to be recognized by DCA right? Yup, used to be known as FTA. And yes, I believe you'll need to do a conversion, though Basair used to train AK cadets - not sure how they go about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Min Chun 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Oh. Cause I thought the special option for Malaysians is 'special' because we don't have to do conversion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Says the course will meet DCA's requirements, but no mention of completing the course with a DCA-approved licence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx Hi alim, Expecting to work for MAS as soon as you graduate from Basair (or any other private flying schools) may be quite unrealistic, unless you're that lucky. As a few of the experts will tell you, if you graduate from an Australian flying school with CPL/IR, you will still need that licence converted to a Malaysian, DCA-issued licence. That alone will cost you extra time and money than if you graduate from one of the local flying schools. Total fees to study at Basair depends on what course package you pick up, but you could be looking at A$50,000 easily - and that's not inclusive of living expenses in Sydney.
