Hi aleemy,
1st of all before starting this flying thing u need to check the school background and what do u need to do in order to convert to malaysian license and is DCA approve the hours n everything..
2nd not all flying school in australia is the best, there few FA in Aussie suddenly "bankrupt",left they student hanging like that and some of them only want ur money jadi thy dont really care bout u that much, so u will end up paying more than wat malaysian student pay...

In aussie u need atleast around 60-70k aud for ur flight training(doesnt include ur cost of living??) and this will bring u up to CPL/SE..and to do malaysian conversion u need atleast around 90-130++k rm depends on what school..
So no rushing,i know u got the $$ to do but isnt better to save alil bit just to be on the safe side...

i have to agree with drebarbas...

The pilot education industry is nevertheless a business itself... every academy try their very best to promote its academy and to get students (aka business) in... Never only take whatever advice or notes you get from anyone... do your own research, spend some time on it, and it will be more reliable than word of mouth... all the best to you aleemy!

the problem is Msia flying school cost alot more money and time. And if u do ur training oversea, u'll have to do expensive conversion course(if ur planning to go back msia to work). Paying a higher price to get ur license in msia or anywhere else in the world doesn't guarantee u any job. Nothing is a guarantee.
The worst is i heard in aussie even airline sponsored cadet pilot dun necessarily get a job, they'll train u, and make u their instructor to train other new student with very low pay, reason to pay back ur course fee. U'll only get a pilot job if ur really lucky. Never think of getting a job in aussie if ur planning to come here study, coz even the local pilots can't get any job. There are too many pilot here, min requirement for airline pilot post, 1000hrs PIC, Australian PR...blah blah.

Not to discourage everyone here, if u really have that dream&that fire burning in you, just go for it and try any possibilies that seem reasonable to u and hope for the best. Or live the rest of ur live regretting and telling urself "I should have done it in the past".

*I'm currently doing my CPL course in Basair. writing to you guys now from Cessnock campus's student accomodation.
Apparently Basair is the best flying school in Aussie. And its true a few flying school has gone bankrupt. Recently one flying school close down and their student have to continue their studies in Basair.
