Maintaining Approved Examination Center

The  Civil Aviation Authority in my country, approved Ground Schools to conduct training preparing for B1 and B2 licenses. The approval is given under the authority of AN1201 issued on 1 Apr 2011.

An approved training school may apply for another supplementary approval under appendix 4, known as AIRWORTHINESS NOTICE No. 1201 Appendix 4 Issue 1 for " EXAMINATION ON BEHALF OF DGCA"

Some of the issues involved in maintaining the part 147 and its approved Exam Centers includes:

Related to 147 approval
1. Skill related training and assessment.
The areas related to the skill training is more complex and less developed for most organisation. The reasons are likely to be due to its historical factors. Prior to EASA license, my school was involved with the BCAR Section L licensing. Under BCAR, the training was focused on the Knowledge component and the Skills component was conducted by a maintenance organisation. The license examination covers both the knowledge and skill component.

The issues include
a. Log Book
b. Task Sheet
c. The Assessment

2. Knowledge related component.
a. relate to the width and the depth of the knowledge
b. Questions for the approved questions

MAvA Plans to be Top Aviation School in the Region

The Malaysian Aviation Academy (MAvA) has made up his mind to become the region's premier academy for this region within the next few years. With this, the academy will be attracting people from Europe and Latin America.

The Star 25 Aug 2015
The plan was announced by Malaysian Transport Minister, Mr Liow Tiong Lai. According to him, the target is within reach as MAvA is currently an associate member of ICAO prestigious Trainair Plus Program (TPP). It is the natural progression to become a full TPP member.

The plan for the TPP is in line of the country's need to develop an highly skilled human capital. When the new KL air traffic control center planned to be commissioned on 2018, it will be one of the most advanced system of its kind.

Maintaining ATO Status

Our school is an approved ATO under Part 147, under the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation.

We are preparing for the annual audit. The followings are the main areas of concern, that we are going to focus on. It is based of the findings of the earlier audits, both internal as external.



The issues are:

1. Aligning the MQA process to syllabus of part 66.
There are three elements here,
- first, the DCAM requirements as stated under the part 66 requirements. (similar to EASA part 66.
- second, the MQA requirements as detailed in the Malaysian universities' requiremets and
- The school processes and procedure.

The part 66 is given in the published documents AN 1101, in Jan 2010.  It contains the syllabus and other details required to conduct the courses. As our school is also approved under the MQA, the Malaysia Quality Agency entrusted to control the standard of education in Malaysia, requiring us to meet the requirements from two authorities.
