Instruct job's available in Malaysia

[watchyourairspeed]

Good'day

I would like to obtain more info. about any flight schools that at the present moment are recruiting expat flight instructors to give flt training in Malaysia. From the net bowsing done so far, I just found MAF, Asia Pacific Flight training academy, and another place in Langkawi (!), but I am not sure if they accept any application or even is worth to try a first contact.

Thanks for the help .

I just came back from Langkawi last week, doing a x-country flight from Johor (5.5 hours total time on Cessna 152). Managed to meet up with my ex-PPL instructor who's currently a flight instructor in LATC.

The answer is yes.. LATC is recruiting expats to become flight instructors, but the minimum requirement is CPL with 6000 hours. And if I'm not mistaken ME and IR rating is needed as well, but LATC willing to take you in without ME/IR ratings if you are willing to pay on your own to get those ratings, which can be done in LATC itself.

[confirm-finals?]

CPL with 6000 hours

And they wonder why there is a flight instructor shortage in Malaysia?

MFA is good for hours. Get in, get out and get a real job

MFA is good for hours. Get in, get out and get a real jobTotally agree with you...

The minimum requirements were not that strict last year, but somehow the DCA tightened the rules even when they are still in shortage of instructors. Just imagine that LATC with 200+ students, 20+ planes and only 9 flying instructors at the moment..

I just found out yesterday that expats flying instructors can only come and teach in flying schools ONLY. They are not allowed to teach in the clubs anymore, unlike in the past (with the exception of Singaporeans).

I heard a few ex-MAS pilots who were 'retrenched' (read as MSS):ugh: from F50/Twin Otter are coming to LATC to fill up the vacancies. With offer as good as peanuts from FAX (subsidary of Air Asia), they are much better at LATC until aviation industry in Malaysia turns greener again or when they are marketable elsewhere.

Malaysian DCA & Indian DGCA seem to be in the same sinking boat...

with all the shortage of flt inst..and no xpat inst..:ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :{ :{ :{

[Syrian Aviator]

Plenty of opportunities but positions are filling up soon

The options at the moment

HM Aerospace - Langkawi (Brand new DA40, DA42 and TB10GT) hmaerospace.com

Malacca Flying Academy - Malacca (PA28, PA34)
mfa.edu.my

Asia Pacific Training Center - Kota Bahru (PA28 only at this time, PA34 to arrive soon)
(forgotten their website)

All above schools need instructors, Correction Smile airlines: Its not 6000 hours my friend!

For foreigners, You gotta have CPL IR ME and Unrestricted FI rating and minimum of 1000 hours instructional or else you will get grade 3 pay!


Good luck

Good luck.

Recruitment is going on for expats but BE CAREFUL!
If you decide to work at MFA Melaka be warned that the standards there are quite low...ANYONE (local) is guaranteed to get a frozen ATPL/IR no matter how poor they are...just pay the money and fly the hours! Then they end up in MAS or AA.
The company treats expats like sh#!. They will change your contract on you as they see fit and at a moments notice! If you don't like it the only thing you can do is to give three months notice then you have to pay back any expenses to them i.e. flights and any training or standardisation etc. By the way, if you do this it is classed as 'breaking contract' and you cannot work in Malaysia for a further 6 months. They will screw you any way they can! The pay is very poor in comparison to other flight schools in Malaysia and the work is harder.
Good points?.........none except ok if you need to build hours.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!:= :ugh:

[ExMAS]

I presume you know because it happened to you.

By the way, how is "breaking the contract" defined in the country you come from?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[kwaiyai]

In the Airlines not completing your bond Ex Mas, Meaning you prob 40 have to pay back any remaining bond. Regarding breaking contract Never came across it before leaving my last job to go to new one.

For foreigners, You gotta have CPL IR ME and Unrestricted FI rating and minimum of 1000 hours instructional or else you will get grade 3 pay!
Good luck

So, with these minimums, what sort of pay can one expect to get? And how many hours per month flying?

You ned to sit at least the CA6 exams (old UK ATPL Nav exams). Either way best go see Malaysian DCA. I understand however that they are currently not issueing to Foreigners.

[ASIAN FROG]

At the end to get your Malaysian ATPL you have to re do all the Ground school (CA6, CA2) and as say Kwayai, the trend is not to allow any foreigners to get in one of the (malaysian) airlines.
Beware that the two main airlines (MAS and Air Asia) are reducing their recruitment and that there are currently a lot of cadets in the pipeline. Malaysia -for some time -is on a saturation point. However this has not yet influenced the activities of the schools,
