Mas Cadet Pilot Programme

[babyboeing400]

well i didnt get any insurance in case my health lets me down,i dont think they have it here in Malaysia..

for the psychomotor test,just give all your best and believe that u can do it! staying calm is also an important factor..think of this as a test similar to the pressures that u will eventually feel in the cockpit itself in the future. ;-)

be confident if u can pass the psychomotor test..most of my friends that applied failed in this phase and i heard that it's the phase which most applicants fail to get through.. good luck~

hi there SQ ,
anyways, congrats of being called by MAS. It is true that the first stage is difficult, because during my test (last week) only 10 were through (including 3 girls, superb eh ;-) ) . Like everyone said, be calm and try to enjoy yourself. take your time reading the instructions and most importantly be sharp because all of those 3 out of the 5 tests requires logic. so take your time to understand the trick and the sequences. well, i will be going for the MISPA next week, hope you get it through as well.

good day all !

Hi fellow PPRUNE'ners

First of all congrats to you all who got called up by MAS !!! I myself is anxiously waiting for a call up however my application to MAS was handed in after March so I guess I got to wait for quite a while more.....However I do have a question with regards to the MAS recruitment criteria...where there is a requirement :

"Pass SPM or its equivalent qualification recognized by Malaysian government with six (06) credits including Bahasa Malaysia and a minimum of B4/C4 in Mathematics, Physics or General Science and English taken at one sitting."

I don’t have SPM sadly however I have something that is equivalent to the 'O' level system which from what I got told is considered equivalent to the Malaysian SPM. But then how is it possible to have credits in Bahasa Malaysia???

Also having only limited understanding of Bahasa (Primary 3) I wouldn't have good if any command of Bahasa...

Is Bahasa a requirement by DCA for crew licensing?? Or is it because the training at MFA done in Malay??? Will this mean that I would not even be considered for an interview?? I meet all of the other requirements except these two….

Any feedback on this problem will be much appreciated....Thnkx!!

Happy Flying you all!!

hi there all,
i have one question here, while i was browsing in the requirements of MAS cadet pilot, something caught my attention. What do they mean by PERFECT EYESIGHT and VISUAL ACUITY of AT LEAST 6/60 ??? that puzzles me up actually, perfect visual ACUITY is 6/6 . so they want AT LEAST 6/60 or the MOST 6/60 ??
help me here :-) thanks

cruise climber,
be optimistic, if you have good grades i think they might call you

good day :-)

For those who failed phycomotor

For those who failed your phycomotor please don't feel disappointed. You can try to apply again and learn from ur previous mistake. Just remember what u play during the phycomotor test. I have seen cadet pilot that gone through those interview for few times just to get the sponsorship from MAS. If you really interested to work for MAS don't give up and keep on apply for it. While waiting for your application maybe you can do some course for your own benefit.Good luck !!

If i m not mistaken the perfect vision 6/6 means there are 6 rows of randomly pick alphabert that u need to read!!if u can read the 6th row means u pass the eye test!!!that is my opinion only!!anyway i manage to read the 7th row !

I myself is anxiously waiting for a call up however my application to MAS was handed in after March so I guess I got to wait for quite a while more

I sent in my application in mid-March, got called in for interview last week (couldn't attend though, due to them scheduling my interview at a time I just couldn't go).

Wonder if they'll keep my application on file for any future interview sessions, or if I have to reapply and go through the whole thing again.

WAt r my chances??

Hi all,

Cruise climber i am in a similar position as you! I also completed my studies overseas and just finished a degree. WOnder wat my chanes are on scoring an interview??
I also hold a foreign CPL with ATPL credits however with only a very limited amount of hours..just the bare minimum which doesn't seem to mean much in Malaysia from wat i can see in these forums...I guess that is fair enough though because each state has it's own licensing standards and requirements

Just want to find out from anyone in this forum whom have experience in pilot recruitment for MAS or AA on wat are my chances of getting shot at an interview as a cadet pilot??
Comments or opinions from anyone would be welcomed..!!
Cheers

Smooth flying to u all!!

For cadet pilot, it seems that as long as you have average qualifications and don't screw up your application you'll at least get into the recruitment process (starting with psychomotor test). Only question is how early (or how late) you get the invitation letter.

Anyway, for those of you in the know, is it a 100% requirement to have perfect unaided vision? My eyes aren't quite there; I can get the 6/9 line no problem but have to half-guess the 6/6 line. So my eyesight isn't perfect, but it isn't really bad enough to justify getting glasses/contacts.

So, assuming I get another interview call, pass it and get called up for medical, should I then get a pair of glasses made? Or am I screwed without 6/6 (20/20) vision no matter what?

[babyboeing400]

i have a classmate who is an MAS cadet who can only barely read the 6/12 line..he's been wearing glasses since he was 12.

I went for the psychomotor test 2 days ago and it seems to me that the software for the test is more interesting than the computer based test in SQ interview. At least it has more colours, but the joystick was not really callibrated. But I had to squad while I showed them my certificates.

Hi Saviour24,

As you mention there are 5 different tests in the psychomotor test. Can you please let me know a bit detail of these "5 different tests" Because I'm going for the test next week, hope to have some mentally preparation.

Thanks a lot..

Just curious...when did you guys apply? and how many times have you applied before you got the call up by MAS?? Do they like call you on the phone or something or send out a letter to you??

Hi Cost_Index60,

I am applying through mail after found out the advertisement in Star Newspaper in March. But just called for interview last week, it tooks me about 4-5 months to wait. But at least finally have a chance for interview
They will send out a register mail to you, for my case, giving me a week notice for the interview.
From your previous post, you mean you hold a CPL rite? Then I think you can just send in your application to MAS directly and immediately. Coz I heard from both my frens and a guy from local flying club, saying MAS is URGENTLY need pilots..
GOod Luck for your application..!!

HanDs,
I think the only way is you hv to do your ATPL by your own and then apply as a direct intake pilot for airlines. Every airlines will accept you if you hold a Frozen ATPL. BUt, I think the cost would be very costly. Hope it can help you a lot.
Gambateh!!

Hi Fly fly,

Thanks for the info...congrats man n best of luck for the interviews and all...yeah i hold a cpl but with low hours so probably not too useful in Msia....i handed my application in not so long ago so hopefull will reach mine sometime soon ...looks like they are still dealing with the March applications lol....must have been heaps haha but one thing is that i am not too sure whether my application arrived in the right place or not so that's just the worry ... no notification of receiving the application...but heard thats how things work there so..oh well
OK fingers crossed n checking the mailbox everyday !!!
anyway thanks again !


best of luck!!

[tkoose]

keep trying

gents, for those of you who did not make it this time, i'd like to tell you that i personally know one guy who got it after 7 attempts.....no kidding.....thats more than 7 years though.....
by the way i would suggest more time on the play stations for the "saikomoto"....had another friend with a bit of a hard time with the air asia version....got a joystick, a ps2 flight simulator game...practised for 30 mins....with a little coaching....made it the second attempt......nothing a little practice won't help!!!!!

and....don't give up on the other co's.....
