How To Be A Pilot ? ..

That is the most frequently asked question when someone know you are a cadet pilot or maybe, if you are a pilot.

For those who have interest to become a pilot, please read carefully.There are few requirements you need to fulfill to become one.

1) Medically fit

2)SPM

3)Interest in Aviation

4)Able to communicate especially when it comes to teamwork.

5)Age 18-24 years old.

6)Height not less than 163cm.

Lets make it simple.

First what you have to do is, send an Application Letter to Department of Civil (DCA) for approval letter.

Having the approved letter by DCA in hand, proceed for medical checkup.I personally recommend you to undergo Medical checkup first before start paying any deposit to flying school.In case anything happen due to your health history, they fail you, so your money wont be waste.

After medically certified (Class 1), refer to any Flying School in Malaysia.For example, Asia Pacific Flight Training.This is where I am =p. Ask them the latest course fees for your future reference.For those who are self-sponsored, it wont be an issue.But, for those who rely on 3rd party like MARA or Bank loan, you will have an extra work to do.As for now, I’m not really sure that MARA already open up their loan/scholarship for cadet pilot yet as they closed the scheme since last year.But hey, dont give up yet.When your true passion is there, you will find ways to get it done.Bank loan maybe its not a good choice but it is the only hope.For this, you have to refer to bank itself for further information.

Once you got everything, you will have your offer letter from flying school which contain your commencement date.

One you are here, you will start your course with PPL phase followed by CPL/IR.Which will take about 22months.One thing for sure is you will finish up your ground school about 1 year after your commencement date*.Since then, flying phase all the time.

So, I believed I provide as much info as I can, if you guys have any inquiries, please drop a comment below.
