Flying

The path I chose as a career is surrounded with travelling. This is pretty much my passion as I like to visit other places in this beautiful world God made. I still have about a year to prepare myself for SPM (O lvl Malaysian standard) and then InsyaAllah I'm off to the flight academy.

My choice of reference whenever I have any questions about this particular career are my sister who's a pilot-to-be in the Philippines and Captain Lim K.H. Both are pretty helpful for exposing me to the aviation industry. I'd like to say thank you for your help as it's as I said it, helpful.

It may sound like a walk in the park when I say I'm off to the flight academy. Actually, there are loads of things to keep in mind about. The fee for instance, the aviation won't cost you 15K or somewhere around that digit. Oh no that's where you're wrong. It actually costs around 300K-400K in Malaysia but it's cheaper in the Philippines. Around 180-260K. Health test or whatever they call it, there are different classes and different qualifications to pass it. Depending on which type of license you're taking. Actually, the minimum age to apply for SPL (Student Pilot License) is 16. I thought that the flying clubs in Malaysia use the same condition but I was wrong (At least I think I am). They don't do singular license course. They combine SPL with PPL which requires the minimum age of 17 to apply. So I guess I need to wait for another year to be qualified.

To all people out there who are planning to choose the same path I am,

I wish you best of luck and hope to see you in the aviation world.

Thanks for reading =)
