mostly true
 

A lot of indians are actually coming to the Philippines to do their training and their licenses.If for example they want to work in middle east (ADAT,QATAR,EMIRATES,GULF AIR), then it would be easier for them to get their license accredited.

aside from that... back in my home country ( well im really ashamed of it ) a lot of people are corrupt so need I say more?

true! im bitter. got my license fair and square.now imagine some je*k who has an extra $200 can actually get his license even without the practical exams...

Getting rid of oral exams in the U.K. was a bad move. In 1994 i passed my Aeroplanes 2 multi choice ( already had Aeroplanes 1 ) I was then failed on my oral test. In reflection i really deserved to fail . I went on to pass it 2nd time. What i am trying to say is that the oral is a safety net , true, people can get good at multi choices , and as the answer is right in front of you ,all it takes is a bit of practice. The surveyor will spot it if a guy does not know what he or she is talking about.

I’m really sorry if this sounds picky, off subject and harsh, but the ICAO does specify a communication standard for any licence holder and Shuchim yours is really poor.

Writing on here in text-speak really isn’t a good example of either “an ability to communicate engineering matters either verbally or in written form”, even if you had misused some of the many words in the English language that sound the same it would have been understandable.

I spend a lot of time marking exam papers and feel that it is fair to say that if you write like this in your native language then you are going to fail some exams.

I applaud your ambition to progress in the aviation industry but perhaps you would be wise to add essay writing skills to your study list.

hey shuchim......
I'm sure you are who I think you are.
And sweetheart, do you really believe what you've just written in all your posts on this thread? Would you seriously like to work as a technician for a couple of years just for the sake of learning or are you using this forum to actually look for a job which i well and truly know is a long way away from you going strictly by merit?
Rather than wasting your time making stupid comments (like the thread starter), I'd recommend you to read your books and get to know at least something about airplanes. And yes, a book on English grammar would help a lot too..
There's no short cut to success my boy and as far as i know, you haven't even started yet.
cheers

You never tried for a SECTION L licence then !

SUBSONIC69, where you from?

The Aircaft Maintance (A&P) Exam here in the Philippines is also hard, but if you know your notes you'll surely pass!

The Bottomline is.....If you are willing to work hard & study till retirement....Success will def come your way.
Hard work ALWAYS pays.

I am originally from the Philippines. Don't get me wrong though. It is hard and I did pass it without even having to pay some of those corrupt inspectors/examiners in the CAAP (formerly ATO).

But since you're from the Philippines you clearly have an idea about the corruption happening inside the former ATO.If you did pass yours the same thing that I did, then you will definitely be against some people inside the office that are selling licenses because they can get away with it.:ouch:

I'm not saying it's not hard. Im just saying I'm ashamed of the OFFICE and that even SOME foreigners come to the Philippines and take advantage of the possibility of being able to purchase their licenses here.:mad:

The authenticity of both your license and mine will definitely suffer from it. :ugh:

Qualification should ALWAYS be on merit.

Out here Promotion is seniority based & not performance based.so until the senior is promoted,the Junior cannot rise.Even if the Junior is better.

too bad
 

well thats a bad thing about some countries.. I would suggest going to other countries who can actually promote you for what you can do.

Or you can kill your senior hahaha .. just kidding :) its not his fault anyway.

but that is just too unfair, specially to the qualified and hard working guys.

Subsonic69,
I totally agree with you. I got my lic fair and square and never thought of bribing some officials inside. Corruption inside the office is very rampant and you can even see fixers waiting outside the office! ofcourse I don't wanna jeopardize my profession just to have an instant license. Anyway, if you don't mind where are you currently working?

Study regularily,ask questions & work hard is the key.

As a student, pursuing a/c maintenance eng in india, its rly sad 2 c so many students relying on question banks to clear the licence papers without any familarization with the texts. question banks can at the most give an idea of the question pattern but is no tool 2 pass xams. it is these q banks dat r spoilin indian ames. dgca papers r fr from being tough, moreovr dgca paprs r becoming exceedingly predictabl with the clear trend of repeated questions time n agn... i have cleard only 1 paper yet securing 88%. sory 2 say mr shuchim, didn find it 2 tough...... infact if dgca reintroduces the subjectiv format, the stakes r set 2 get much higher..... aftral v r gonna b the "most highly paid engineers in india" ryt?;)

Please stop writing in SMS-Style :yuk:

Mr Ifixplanes, well said :D, that was painful to read.

Broken English I can understand, but why do people think text speak is acceptable when using a computer?

Mel, sort him out

I agree.One must write in the proper language.

On the question bank topic......In our days there was no question bank.The best method of study is to go through all the textbooks in detail,highlight the sentences one finds important,understand the topic & discuss/debate with collegues......The BAMEL Exams are just the first step.Get used to reading long pages & studying for long hours.It will pay well in the future.

If your having problems first of all obtaining cetificates and licences due to your authorities, and promotions aren't based on performance, well... It doesn't say much for Indias licenced engineering as a whole. Obviously this is not aimed at all indian mechs but something isn't working well. The CAA have problems in taking thier time in issuing licences but this sounds a whole new level.:ugh:

I think he's looking for someone to do his homework. Back in the century after work, I took books home with me and burnt the midnight oil while other co-workers would stop at the bar... I passed all modules, multi-choice and essays in one sitting. Git up off your bum!

Aquamon is correct.One needs to put in a lot of effort to achieve something out here.There is no easy work in Aviation.

MEL.

You are right!! one need to put its best to achieve it. I am gonna say ,dgca india exams are not the toughest one as every body feels in here. I have a great resentment that they dont put numerical ability based questions. I cleared both the bamels with least effort as i used to be routine in my studies.. which most of the aspirants do put in the near of exam hours. Prepare for the worst!!

Best of luck to all appearing this session..:ok:
