KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The Royal Malaysia Police, better known by its Malay initials PDRM, will soon add 16 new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones worth RM48 million to its tactical arsenal to protect the country’s borders.

Bukit Aman Logistic and Technology department director Datuk Sahabudin Abd Manan said the procurement of the drones was approved under the 12th Malaysia Plan.

“The drones will be used for assignment which involves monitoring and eliminating threats in areas along the national border such as intrusion, smuggling and cross-border crime.

PDRM appreciates the government’s commitment in ensuring the force has the latest assets and equipment to further strengthen our duty so that public order and safety is always preserved,” he said in a statement tonight.He added that the estimated cost was the ceiling based on the market price for the latest specification of drones suitable for police tactical and surveillance work.

According to Sahabudib, each VTOL drone is equipped with a gyro stabilised camera with optical, infrared capabilities and can record high resolution video, photos as well as live streaming in day or night conditions.

The drone also comes with a mobile ground station vehicle that is equipped with a tracking antenna system, weather station and portable global navigation satellite system.

Law-enforcement agencies across the country have adopted aerial drones to map crime scenes, monitor large events and aid search-and-rescue operations. But the high-flying devices have also triggered backlash over fears they will be used to spy on law-abiding citizens.

The New York Police Department on Tuesday unveiled plans to deploy 14 of the unmanned fliers and to train 29 officers to operate them, opening an intense debate about whether an agency previously criticized for illegally surveilling citizens should possess such powerful technology.

Senior police officials said the drones would be used for monitoring giant crowds, investigating hazardous waste spills, handling hostage situations and reaching remote areas in crime scenes, among other tasks. They will not be used for routine police patrols, unlawful surveillance or to enforce traffic laws, the officials said. Nor will they be equipped with weapons.

“Drone technology will give our cops and their incident commanders an opportunity to see what they’re getting into before they go into harm’s way,” Chief of Department Terence A. Monahan said. “For this reason alone, it would be negligent for us not to use this technology.

NEW DRONE DIRECTIVE by MALAYSIAN CAAM

 Drones are making its ways into Malaysian. It started as a toy, to be played by enthusiasts, but later made its entry into business.

As the number increases, there is a need to controll it, to ensure a safe operation.

The news was published in the local paper..
https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2021/01/25/civil-aviation-authority-to-publish-new-drone-directive-february/1943939

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) seeks to publish a new directive for unmanned aircraft system or drones next month.

CAAM deputy chief executive officer (regulatory) Zainul Abidin Maslan said in order to secure a bright future for the Malaysian drone industry, enforcement of new regulations would require repetitive processes such as registration, authorisation and surveillance.  (Tfik xosi 25 Jan2021)

Malaysian Applications For the AME License

Last weekend I stumble upon two of my ex- students from APR.

They had completed the knowledge exam for B1-3 license. However, they had not applied for their license, mainly due to insufficient work experience. They did not know that the work experience has to be in according to


A. If you are applying for license, then ....
For all applicants, at least one (1) year of the required experience must be recent
maintenance experience on aircraft of the category/subcategory for which the
initial AML is sought. For subsequent category/subcategory additions to an
existing AML, the additional recent maintenance experience required may be less
than one (1) year, but must be at least three (3) months. The required experience
must be dependent upon the difference between the licence category/subcategory
held and applied for. Such additional experience must be typical of the new
licence category/subcategory sought.


B. If you are a license holder ... The AN1101 ..

Under para 4.3

b) The holder of an AML may not exercise certification privileges unless:
i) he is in compliance with the applicable requirements of an appropriately
approved maintenance organisation;
ii) in the preceding two (2) year period he has, either had six (6) months of
maintenance experience in accordance with the privileges granted by the
aircraft maintenance licence or, met the provision for the issue of the
appropriate privileges;

Staff Activity: Kite Day

It is already Nov, and the year 2017 is coming to the end.

The management had arranged for a small activity, The Kite Day.  Eight groups participated. It is just for the fun of it.

Drone or UA

Last week, there was a news posting about UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or more commonly known as drone). It was a concern as the newspaper mentioned about the fees to imposed on drone. I could imagine the implication to my school as we dozens of drones, used both for research and school projects.

malaysian aviation school Part 147

The latest update on 17 Nov 2017. The list of approved Malaysian DCA Part 147 is given below:

Counting the list of approved schools, it is a surprise that we have a total of 16. For a small country, the number is rather too high.
...........................................
When you hear someone mentioned, "malaysian aviation school", what picture do you think will crop up in the majority of the people. My experience showed, it is the school for pilot.

However, that is not what we intent to discuss, we will talking about the maintenance training school under EASA 147. The school is handling training leading to license for aircraft maintenance.

There are 5 training schools at various stage of conversion to EASA 147 school. Prior to January 2010, Malaysian Civil Aviation Department was using BCAR section L. With EASA 147, the licensing system changed.

The following are the approved malaysian aviation school giving courses leading the licenses:

1. MAS - Malaysia Airline is the leading airline in Malaysia and it is providing training for ab-initio training as well as license training. They are approved to conduct courses for B1-1, B2 and A1 courses under EASA (Malaysian) 147. The airline is also an approved examination center for the approved courses.

2. Dilog - Another strong contender, a company formed with the support of MAS. The company is also approved by Malaysian DCA to conduct basic courses for B1-1,B2 and A1 courses plus being an approved examination center.

c. APR Aviation Training Center- The information given shows that the company is in the conversion process from BCAR sectionL to EASA 147.

d. MATA - Malaysian Aviation Training Academy is in the process of changing to EASA147.

A few weeks ago, I came across an advertisement for the Trainee Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. It was by APR. The program is a 4 year intensive training for DCAM part 66 license category B1. It stated that the program comprises of classrooms sessions, workshop practices and hand on practical experiences on operating aircraft.

The prerequisites includes SPM, age between18-25 and physically and mentally fit.

VISITING an OLD HS125

Last week, I was preparing to bring a group of students to visit and do some practical on our aircraft. It is HS125. A write off aircraft devoid of major components. It is not working aircraft, no power and cannot operate the control surfaces.

New Training School

Today, whilst searching the Google, I stumbled upon a new aviation school,

Aviation School - Despark

It is offering courses compatible to the Malaysian DCA requirements.

However it does not explain more, is it intending for the A license or B license.

However looking at the hours and the composition of the course contents, it is likely for the mechanic program or A license

DCAM exam at MIAT

MIAT or Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technologies is conducting exam on behalf of the DCA. It is open to external students.

The exam fee is rm 212/- for external candidates.
