Fly Lah!

U are better off enrolling in MFA or else where. We, the 1st batch still cant grad yet man.......Oredi delay like almost 1 year ~~~~ Fucking pissed off ~~ Now weather somemore !

The reason why you guys have not graduated is because of delay on the Single engine phase?

Due to lack on instructors? Have you guys batch one started on Multi yet?

MFA would have a long waiting list to join them? I think not all school "willing" to take in private to do license conversion?

If you're that eager to progress fast, i suggest a flying school with track record, or at least have been graduating Foreign License cadets like KLIFA, MFA . Heard that almost almost 20 of these people (with foreign license) had completed their course !!! And Cheap !

the probs we face here are plentiful, dont assume that you completed SE phase you will be ahead of the other guys ! Once they put in a batch, you are almost stuck with them for good. Especially since u'll be put into a batch in G school 1st :P

The rest of the probs i leave it to the juniors to voice out. I want to grad redi, so i better keep my mouth shut

sweet. Thanks for the info.

The best information you can get regarding the school are from the students! Cheers for that.

Do you have any information on how much usually those who overseas license needed at MFA or KLIA? Will go over to that thread to ask around.

I'd read on the KLIA tread but seems they are having the worst delays. Any comment?

Regards

Horrible English grammar and structuring. Damn horrible siar! Still, spelling mistakes can be forgiven.

Now, if you wrote in "Singlish", or "Minglish", I can understand. However, the sentence structure written by you, tells everybody that you may not be a local!

Would you kindly rewrite everything again?

I have advised people from flydamnit.com (before it shuts down) members, get overseas licence and then come back to Malaysia! This way is faster, cost effective!!! It is proven that this track works!

Straight away enroll into any Malaysian flying school for flight training, from zero hours to fATPL standard, is definitely going to take you for donkey years!

Else if, want to have a faster pace in flying (but relunctant to go overseas), joing a flying club to complete PPL first. I can tell you, fly in the club to get PPL may be alot faster than those fly in the academy getting their PPL.

Sorry, are you trying to make a joke or seriously criticising my language ability?

Dont worry spoonbee, Lets stay on track.

As per what i was telling you, i know people in MFA and KLIFA (foreign license cadets) whom HAD graduated. I heard a number of them were like you earlier, wanted to enter GGIFA to do conversion, but later decided to pick another school. Coz our sch are not producing any cadets yet. Output ZERO.

Well, if THOSE people ARE talking about DELAYS, i think our sch has the BIGGEST delays ! I never know of any academy having their 1st batch delayed SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much !! I think so far i am the only one bitching about GGIFA delays....

And to hersheys,
My point wasnt about OVERALL speed. i was informing spoonbee about the track record of other noticeable schools slowly churning out cadets silently compared to our problematic school

Do you have any idea how long they took to do the conversion? Keen to join any school that can completed in the shortest time (i guess everyone looking for that).

The cost was RM80k, that was like 18months ago. Not sure if they have increases the fees. By the way that's for all the flying 35hrs multi + atpl theory.

Im a malaysian but hardly in the country for all my life. Am studying for my degree overseas and doing my flight training at the same time. Should be able to get my cpl in a couple of months time. Was not planning to do my MEIR rating at this stage because if im going to do them for conversion then not going to pay twice.

However still not sure im going back to malaysia to do it, just gathering information in case theres a long waiting to join any flying school etc. Plan was to try to get a job in singapore so having malaysia license are easier to convert to singapore one compare to any ICAO license. I like to work in malaysia though but not able to malay language is my biggest barrier.

In order to get fully converted from a non-Malaysian to a Malaysian one. The longest record in KLIFA is 18months! (that was with delay somemore).

For all ground theory papers, it roughly takes (including ATPL papers) at least 9months without any resit for papers.

Some schools took in overseas conversion licence holders. Some do not. One notorious school is MFA. Chua Airin is damn bitchy, she always discourage people from joining MFA. Anybody don't believe, just pretend to be a potential candidate, walk-in and talk to her. See how's her bloody bitchy reaction.

If I were you, I will get IR rating then come back to Malaysia. You progress in IR flying during your licence conversion in Malaysia will be super easier and so so so much easy to understand. Now, your life is not miserable (as compare to those who are not overseas IR rated) and the instructor will fly with you more and his life is so much easy!

You learnt nothing about IR in most Malaysian flying schools. Believe me. Instructor do what, you just follow. Practically, it is monkey see and monkey do. Now, if you "die-die" want to finish your IR in Malaysia, then I won't stop you.

Just look at who is controlling the school! Blame the one is controlling the school.

If the Principal is so capable in handling the students and managed the school well, then, the school need not employ Maj Radzi to sit on top of him!

I think u need to get yr facts rite b4 u make any comments.I personally felt tat the principal is doing his very best to rescue the delay issue....However the main reason for the delay was the twin eng couldn't get its airworthinese ....Tis has nothing to do wt the principal...In fact ppl like Mej Radzi should deal wt it.....As every 1 knows he has a gd connection wt DCA.....But wat has happen??? Why the twin is on the grn??? So,the conclusion is,dun simply point yr finger when there are delays......

Recently i was at DCA chatting wt few officer and they praise Ggifa to be doing very well lately and they are happy wt the management team at Ggifa.....(Every 1 is trying their best to prevent back log)

HERSHEYS,hope u won't get offended, bcos i felt unfair if u push all the blame to the PRINCIPAL......B4 i finish,KLIFA is 1 of the worst flying school in Mys.....Trust me, i won't simply quote ppl......
