But there's bad news too. He told me that PPL holders will not have flying hours credited if you want to pursue the course at HMA, or even MFA. You have to start all over. They used to credit hours to PPL holders but found that their standard was so bad that it was best to start them from scratch.
The current course fee is around RM170K++ including accomodation, food, study material and everything else.
So, any Singaporeans "quietly" flying in AirAsia? Do share with us your story.
Yar thats real good news. But now DCA do not allow expat from getting into airasia unless he is a captain. So there might be some validity issue to that news. Flying hours wise from flying clubs are still subjected to DCA one to one decision. So might not be the case. Anyway if u have a PPL, then join the flying school u will go straight to CPL training wouldnt that be a reduction of hours in another word?
As for anymore singaporean CPL holders, well looks like not much more? Come on..!
