fhchiang,
A simple answer is "NO", as long as you are flying on '9M' registration, you 'MUST' possess Malaysian DCA licence, either through revalidation or sit for full exam, and of cse you must obtain a medical cert from an MDCA authorised medical examiner.

fhchiang,
9M is the country designator registration for all aircraft for Malaysia whether the aircraft is for commercial or private use.
Just like Australia, it is VH-### or New Zealand, it is ZK-### and so on..
I have a few friends that came from Australia with Australian CPL/IR and to give you an idea, they came with just a bare license so Malaysian DCA requires them to "again" sit for:
1. Two Air Law Papers
2. Performance 'A'
3. Loading
4. HPL
5. Six ATPL Papers if you are planning to join companies like Air Asia or MAS and so on....etc...
6. And also your Malaysian Cat 1 Medical
7. C.O.T. (Cerfiticate of Test) such as on a PA-34 with MFA to get a fully endorsed Malaysian CPL/IR.
Hope this helps and to give you an idea of what you are getting into. But of course, it's best and wise to check with the Malaysian DCA for proper procedures prior to setting up your plans.

Hi all,
From what i can gather from snot box's comment, air asia are not too interested in absolute minimum hours, so what sort of experience do they start taking a look at you?The website just seems to mention ATPL's as a requirement. For example I have a bit under 1500 TT and am in the middle of ATPL's at the moment, is that more in the ball park? I have emailed them with questions but have had no response yet? Any info is much appreciated.
Cheers LE

For low timers with a bare CPL/IR and 'frozen' ATPL subjects, you need to be a Malaysian citizen and be here so you can have a chance to put your face in your CV. They will not entertain foreign F/Os at the moment.
They are however hiring foreign Captains. So sorry to say, even you have an ATPL but not Malaysian, chances of getting a F/O slot is quite difficult right now.
