Becoming a pilot was a common ambition among children even yourself in your childhood. Unfortunately, when growing up becoming a pilot seems hard. Lack of promotion and awareness about becoming a pilot is one of a factor why kids don’t continue their ambition. Do you know that there is a course in aircraft and aviation management in Malaysia?
It is not common to find this course in most public or private universities in Malaysia. It is undeniable that the home of the best flight services, Malaysia Airlines is short in flight school. While the demand for local pilots is increasing year by year, our country is lack apprentices and even the school themselves. This is a quite disappointing fact however nothing is impossible.
Research Available Flight School
Before you finish high school, you may start to research the available flight school in Malaysia. There are not many but they exist. You may do a list of the schools and read how they provide their training. List down the pros and cons and ask yourself do they fit you. You need to determine what type of pilot you want to be before you enrol on any flight school. Each school will have different requirements and conditions, so when you do research early, you will have time to be prepared.
Aircraft and Aviation Management
Some universities offered their study a degree in aircraft and aviation management. These are not specific courses to become a pilot. Instead, this is more to design, maintain and repair aircraft and aviation. However, they also provide additional pilot-related classes and help to get the license. The student will need to register for the additional class separately after they enrol into the university. It might be one of the best options considering you can learn about aviation management as well. If you failed to obtain your pilot license at least you can still have a career around the airport. Stay positive!
Military Airforce
If you are thinking to serve for your country but not letting go of the dream to fly, joining the military is the best option for you. Each country in the world has their airforce and Malaysia is not excluded. You may join the military specifically under the airforce and choose to be a pilot. While you attend military training, you will undergo pilot training as well. The license you hold at the end of your training will be different from the commercial pilot license. But nothing bad about it, you are killing two birds with one stone anyway.
