Could you explain, why you can not fly RVSM (reduced vertical separation minimums) with ADR2 or ADR1 inoperative on the Airbus A320? But ADR3 does not affect RVSM. Are they not similar?
It is indeed an honor for me to have the opportunity to write to you and seek your advice in relation to the career as an airline pilot.
Before that, I think I would like to explain to you how far I have gone into this industry. I am currently 36 years old and working in JB. About 10 years ago, I can proudly say that I had successfully joined SIA as a cadet pilot. Everything went smoothly at the initial stage.
In fact I was among the first few to clear my first solo flight after 12 hours. Then came the ground study part… I have cleared all the papers up to ATPL EXCEPT for one subject which is Navigation. SIA decided to expel me and there went my dream to be an airline pilot.
It was indeed a difficult period in my life to accept the fact that I was no longer a candidate for SIA. After all the hard work and sacrifices I had put in, it just disappeared overnight. However, life must go on. Some of my friends suggested that I take up a Flying License on my own. But, coming from an average family and paying on my own for a flying license was out of the total equation. I simply could not afford it.
I'm about to begin my CPL/IR course at MFA (Malaysian Flying Academy) this August.
1. What's next after my CPL/IR course?
2. Will any airline representatives come to MFA or other academy to recruit the most highly educated and top candidates? Will they be provided with further training afterwards?
I am a First Officer with Japan Airlines. As you may know, the working situation here is not good and becoming worse. I am considering if I can apply for Singapore Airlines somehow.
My current license is on the B767, a co-pilot and I have the ICAO Level 6 Aviation English Language license. My flight time is about 4000 hours.
Would you think it is possible for me to work as a First Officer for Singapore Airlines? And if so, which type of aircraft should I expect for? Any other information such as salary, place to live, the term of the contract and so on is also helpful.
All this information may become clear if I actually apply for the job, however, it is important for me to acquire some information beforehand, so please let me know anything that concerns this job.
Thank you very much for reading and I hope I will hear from you one of these days.
And Hats off fo
