Night shift? One silly question here.. Why does LAME have to do night shift..??? They can do it the next day what..??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Why does LAME have to do night shift..??? They can do it the next day what..??? For various reasons, but mainly due to aircraft availability and utilisation. Not many ppl would want to travel at night (between 11pm and 6am, as a general guide), and the aircraft is sitting on the ground doing nothing. What's better than sending them off to maintenance, at least for an A-check? For bigger checks, well, the aircraft is already in the hangar - it's not doing anything day and night, but it's costing the airline money to ground the aircraft (because it's not flying, and hence not generating revenue, and hence the seats onboard perished, yada yada yada). So, might as well schedule work over the night and get the maintenance work out of the way ASAP without jeopardising work quality (of course!). This way, the airline saves money, meets regulatory requirements, and the aircraft is happy cuz it's certified "okay and good to fly again". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawrence L 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks man for the explanation.. BTW, can anybody explain what is EASA, JAA, and what is TAME's syllabus based on in MAlaysia...??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imran K. 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Hmm..there seems to be some misunderstanding as to what an LAE actually does during night shifts... Many international airlines the world round operate on a 24hour basis. This, as obvious as it may seem, means that there are flights being operated at all hours of the day...12pm...5pm...1am...4:50 am...etc etc. Thus, LAE's have to be present on the ramp/tarmac to ensure that the aircrafts are fit to fly, and if not, carry out whatever repairs are necessary in order to ensure that the aircraft will still be able to operate a particular sector even if a delay is necessary...Safety comes first. So..no..LAE's cant just "pick up the slack" the next day. They MUST be present at the airport at all hours of the day. Now...LAE's dont work 24 hours a day...its impossible...and its ILLEGAL. Thus, a batch of LAE's are usually split up into different "Shift Groups"... eg.. A Shift, B Shift, C Shift (most of the talented LAE's make their way into this shift group...at least they do in Emirates and in MAS) etc. Now...when placed into a shift group, the LAE's are then subjected to the working hours of that particular shift group which basically see them being rotated into shifts of equal working hours. So...A Shift might work the morning shift, B shift takes over at night, C shift is off...that sorta thing. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Thanx Imran... But, how bout this : BTW, can anybody explain what is EASA, JAA, and what is TAME's syllabus based on in MAlaysia...??? EASA = European Aviation Safety Agency JAA = Joint Aviation Authority (based in NL IIRC) AFAIK...the syllabus a TAME will follow here in Malaysia is the same as it is in any other part of the world. It's an internationally recognized qualification. Basically you'll cover Airframes, Power Plants, a small part of Theory of Flight, alot of Math/Physics, Industry Materials (all the metals and chemicals they use), Instrumentation (the tools they use) and loads more. Try using Google more mate. Everything is available thru them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 1 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Hmm..there seems to be some misunderstanding as to what an LAE actually does during night shifts... Sorry, Imran - part 2 of Maintenance (Resource Management) only during tomorrow's lecture. But as a general scheduling practice (at least here in AU), travel demand between 11pm and 6am is low, so no flights scheduled during that period unless absolutely necessary. Also note the night curfews at several major airports. Edited September 12, 2006 by Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sung 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 TAME programme is following the syllabus which the DCA Malaysia still implementing known as BCAR Section L issue 13, list of the syllabus required can be found in the publication in Section L. Although BCAR will become obselete sometime 2008, but DCA will still implementing it unless they are converting to EASA. One of the reasons LAE has night shift due to aircraft night stops, you can do functional check on the aircraft systems and some simple maintenance checks or maybe rectifying the defects. Not all airports in Malaysia has hangars, so, not all ASU can do A, B, and C checks. Normally like night shift in ASU Sabah and Sarawak not that much but you can claim overtime a lot.
