The First Steps..

A typical aspiring pilot school leaver would straight away intend to get to know about flying schools.In my case, so did I.Surfed the web,here and there.Asked a couple of people.Then I got to know how serious is this stuff.It's not like getting into any private colleges where you pay the big bucks and your place is ensured!

Ladies and gentleman even even you are willing to pay RM300k. for your child or who ever it is to become a cadet pilot, he/she won't get there unless he/she gets through the assessments and etc.Well I don't blame the flying academies as well.Too many of us want to reach to the skies.But the demand for pilots is there.It's only that the academies at Malaysia can't accommodate for all of us.Well, that sounds bad huh?Cadets have to wait for 6 months to get into the academies!

Anyways, I heard about Malaysian Flying Academy(M.F.A).The oldest and most established flying school in Malaysia.The school with the least back logs.The school where many pilots have been to.The school which I put my trust to.I made my decision together with my parent's blessings to join the school.I called them up.They said there's a slot for February.All I got to do is get a sponsor,send my application along with photocopies of my particulars,certificates,the Department of Civil Aviation(DCA) approval letter and a bank draft of 300 bucks.I did so.

After sending the applications and etc. I decided to do my medical test.A class 1 medical is needed to be a commercial pilot.So I went to Twin Towers Medical Center,KLCC.Dr.Dalbir Singh Sagoo was the Aviation Doctor.Did all sorts of test.X-ray,urine,sight,sound,blood,heart rate and etc.It was exhausting as you got to do lots of waiting.But,luckily the nurses were cute.Made time to fly very fast.Hahaha.At the end of the day I received the certificate and the wishes from the doctor.Happy happy i was.

A couple of days later I got a call from MFA saying that my assessment test is in 3 weeks time!I said roger that.Everything seems to be going smooth..I prayed hard so it will keep on going the way it is.
