Malaysia’s aerospace industry is expected to provide more than
32,000 skilled jobs by 2030, according to the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO). While the ICAO’s projection makes it
clear that solutions to fulfill this demand are necessary, many still
point to the high-profile crashes of Malaysia Airlines flights citing
training inefficiencies. The country has since called for improved
security and safety measures.
Currently, there are eight training schools in Malaysia, where
students can earn a PPL (approximately 10,000 USD) or a CPL
(approximately 65,000 USD). Additionally, there are around 15
flying clubs that provide training services. Prior to receiving a PPL,
students are required to have a minimum of 45 hours of flying,
pass the Class Two medical examination, pass six examinations
with a score of 75 or higher including Air Navigation and Flight
Planning, Aircraft Technical Knowledge, Meteorology, Human
Factors, Flight Radiotelephony, and Law, as well as passing the
flight test. For a CPL, students are required to have a minimum of
200 hours of flying, out of which 156 hours should be on a singleengine
airplane and 35 hours on a twin-engine airplane. Students
must also pass the Class One medical examination, the six
previously mentioned exams with a score of 75 or higher, and the
flight test.
The most commonly used training aircraft in Malaysia are the
Piper and Diamond, accounting for 43% and 45% of the fleet,
respectively. Malaysia’s fleet differs greatly from other countries
in the region, where Cessna is the most popular model at training
facilities. Cessna makes up 11% of Malaysia’s fleet.
