DO NOT DO IT!!!!!
I have worked there, a aussie I might ad. Worked there for 12 months out of the 2 yr contract and had to leave.

pay when i was there was, ringitt 3300, but after tax got 2700ish, that included a ringgit500 allowance for housing, which will get you a rat ridden shoebox.

you get a very generous (sic) rm700 relocation allowance, contract will also say you get a 13th month, but that hasnt happened for years.

When I was there a Capt Khashav, a indian ****** was the principle of the school, and he has no idea of how to run the place, and will spend his whole time yelling at you, and asking to have inquiries and board meetings. He is still running the place as no one esle wants the job. Basically he has run the place into the ground. Before I was there they had some 30ish student, after 3 months of him at the helm they were back to 6 students, and thats how it stayed all year.

They promise lots but give nothing in return, as a flying instructor you will be under the cfi capr Zull, hes a nice guy, malay, and knows his stuff, but is very frustrated at management, which is very understandable. planes are good , but mostly unservicable, they have only warriors and 2 senecas, half of them are hangar queens, and area u/s.

Also they have some weird and scary standards, thigns like sending students solo, no matter what there performance is really like!! And they do full ndb letdowns after a mere 20hrs training, and use 4 year old no longer published approaches (pointed that one out and they wouldnt believe me). Also the school runs with only Cpat khashav rules, they dont have a usable ops manual, nor do they have any current documents, just copies of copies of copies.

Basically, it sux, money stinks, management stinks, and I can get you further info from 3 other instructors who left who were there with me. 2 now in aussie (they are of indian decent, and me in sth africa).

post here if anyone has specific questions...
