Hiho niner mike, thanks for replying, btw im new here. Anyway, thanks for the advice, really appreciate it. Im currently doing it at parafield, adelaide, quite good weather there, winter's coming, so would be good for ifr training. From what I read on the previous posts, you did your ppl there and went to malaysia after that? your route sounds better aye! I would love to work in Malaysia, probably you could have some insights about it? I emailed DCAM last month about conversion of my license to a Malaysian one and they approved of it, only if I underwent my training with MFA. I weighed in the costs and decided to go back to australia instead. Glad to hear you are doing well in Malaysia. You go Bro!
