Should be able to successfully pass a medical examination up to a Class 1 standard conducted by a Department of Civil Aviation Authorised Medical Examiner (DAME).
* Minimum height of 163 cm (5ft 3in).
* Be prepared to sign a training bond with a surety.

The Selection Process
The process consists of the stages as follows:

1. Screening of applications
2. Written academic tests in English, Mathematics and Science (Physics) with an IQ test. Passing mark of at least 75% required in all subjects.
3. Aptitude testing
4. Interview
5. Medical Examination
6. Final selection

The Training Programme

Commercial Pilot Licence with a ‘Frozen’ ATPL

ONLY the training cost is sponsored by AirAsia. All other expenses such as accommodation and food plus all other miscellaneous expenditure will be borne by the cadets. All cadet pilots will repay the cost of training through monthly deductions over a period of fifteen (15) years commencing from the time they are employed by AirAsia and commence their line training as Second Officers. In addition to this the cadets will have to sign a training bond for the type-rating course on the Boeing 737 or the Airbus A320.

In the event the cadet pilot is unsuccessful at any stage of the training the cadet is obliged to repay AirAsia all the training cost that had been expended up to the stage of termination plus any administrative costs.

Phase 1: This phase will take approximately 66 weeks and consist of the following:

Ground School curriculum comprising approximately 1,000 hours of classroom time covering the following:

* Private Pilot Licence (PPL) ground subjects with examinations conducted by DCAM.
* DCA Technical subjects with examinations conducted by DCAM.
* Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) ground subjects with in house examinations approved by DCAM.
* Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) ground subjects with papers set and marked by the UK Overseas Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Examinations. These Examinations will be conducted by DCAM.
* Flight training with 200 flying hours comprising of a minimum of 35 hours on a twin-engined aircraft and the remaining on a single-engined aircraft.

On completion of this the cadet pilots will be issued with a CPL and an Instrument Rating (I/R) with a Frozen ATPL. With this the cadet pilots will be able to progress onto the next stage of the training at AirAsia.

Phase 2: The cadet pilots will carry out their Multi-crew Coordination Course (MCC) before starting their type-rating courses on either the B737 or the A320. This phase includes other regulatory courses conducted to enable them to fly as a crew in an aircraft in the commercial category. Once they have completed their type-rating course they will become Second Officers and commence their line training after having successfully completed their endorsement flight. This whole process in this phase takes approximately 3 to 6 months.

Career Progression

After successfully completing their line training the Second Officers will be employed as First Officers and gain their experience on line. Within a period of 5 to 6 years they would have gained enough hours to be eligible for promotion as a Captain to act as commander. This is of course, subject to their performance, recommendation and any suitable vacancy. With the very fast pace of expansion of AirAsia there is abundant opportunity for all ambitious candidates who are willing to work hard.

    well ive heard that there have been 10 thousand aplicants this time for air asia.. And ive also heard rumours that some aplicants come in with degree in aerospace engineering and they have ppl license as well…

    not sure if its true.. but yea… expect very tough competition..

    aja, ure right. There will definitely be competitions.

    manvinderjit, i dont know what are the chances, but if they take u they will definitely safe the ppl training money. If its MAS i know they do take PPL holders. They normally absorb cadets with PPL or CPL halfway during training. Btw, where did u do ur PPL?

    what are the job chances after this programme?

  7. By Dusk on Jan 15, 2007 | Reply

    It should be 100% because they are sponsoring you. U will have to stay with them for atleast 15 years because of the bond.

  8. By orlando on Jan 21, 2007 | Reply

    Greating,

    From which i know form previos AA batch, for those who have PPL, the AA would’t credited your 40 hours towards CPL/IR +ATPL. Hence, you will start at the same level with zero entry. Still the same 15 years bond for those who have PPL entry or O entry.

    But the advantage is, you have something to start on and have advantage on early stage of cadet pilot recruting.

    SPM is the minimum requirement. If you do not have a relevant degree or license, I’m afraid you can stop thinking about it. The only possible chance is to get a relevant degree or get a flying license before applying.

    ist quite hard to be a cadet pilot
    and my parents also are not posessed in any airlines job,
    so it was more difficult for me to get any information from airasia and mas especially their opening date for cadet pilot application.

    ASSALAMU ALAIKKUM
    Dear sir/madam
    I am Sulaiman
    I have finished “A”(physics,maths).I belongs to india.
    My ambition is to become a commercial airline pilot,
    but I do not have
    the funds required to cover the training costs. I want
    to avoid getting
    a loan from the bank because of the high interest
    rates. I have looking
    for a commercial airline that offers a pilot
    sponsorship that pays for
    all the training.
    I am 19 years of age
    I beleive this is the right time for me to apply. I
    hope that you can
    give me some good reply from you.
    thank you
