Anyone done one recently?

best to contact MFA at
http://www.mfa.edu.my/

MFA is overcrowded. Try also LATC (04 953 2000), they are just starting the operations in December and the flying school is not too busy for a while.

Thanks Guys! Maybe I should have stated validation instead of "conversion". I was hoping to walk into the DCA office and exchange one for one!

sorry to disappoint you but from FAA -> Msian, i'm pretty sure Msian DCA wants you to do a conversion i.e. flight test... if it's from OZ or UK than only Airlaw & Perfomance A (OZ).

Well I presume this will be your initial validation. The legal requirement changed at beginning of Nov and here is the lastest:

Covering letter from sponsoring operator
Copy of DCA approval letter for recruitment
Copy of DCA security approval letter (takes up to 6 weeks)
Copy of immigartion work permit for CPL employment (takes up to 6 months)
Completed DCA application form (DCA 3-Val)
Valid Foreign licence
Medical validity of foreign licence
Proof of Proficiency/competency on aircraft type to be validated ( at least 400+ hours on type)
Flying logbook ( with 1000+ hours as bare minimum)
Letter of your foreign Civil Aviation with contact name and numbers for DCA to activate verification
Any other documents as required by DCA

Basically DCA is trying very hard to reduce foreign pilots in this country. I suggest you have a very prominent sponsor/ employer requiring your services. Good luck...Forget about walking in DCA office and walking out with your validation the same day..just does not happen. Done renewals 4 times now..:E
