LICENSED AIRCRAFT ENGINEER



Many peoples are wondering about aircraft engineer salary. I must say that pay is quiet reasonable.
Take for example, I know a large number of Malaysia Airlines staff are drawing about RM20,000 per month working as a licensed aircraft engineers at MAS’s hanger.
Last week I received a call from an old friend from MAS, he was working for MHS, or Malaysian Helicopter services. He was drawing RM17,000 from his work at the company servicing the oil rigs of the course on Malaysia.
You may be wondering how come the aircraft engineer salary is high. This is how it can be..
Basic Salary ————– RM 7,000
Technical allowance …    RM1,200
Productivity allowance  RM1,000
License Allowance            RM 3,000
Holiday Pay                         RM 2,000
Overtime                              RM3,000
Total  RM17,200
Yes, it is possible. License allowance is given for additional license you hold. If you have B737 airframe, the company pay RM500.  As you work longer, you will accumulate more license. There are many of the staff who have more than RM3,000 for his license allowance alone.
The holiday pay is when you work on public holidays. You will be paid 3 times your normal rate. This is how it is calculated..
Your monthly salary + allowable allowance — e.g RM 9000
divide by working day per month e.g 20
Then your daily rate is RM 450.
When you work on public holiday= 3 time pay.
The you will be pais RM450x3 = RM1350

In Malaysia you will find so much of public holiday. That is one of the reason why the aircraft engineer salary is high.

  4. This is my thought, 20 yrs experience in the field. The reasons behind the high pay is due to the small number of experienced helicopter engineers around coupled with the high price of oil. The high salaries offered are mostly for those positions offered quite away from big cities serving the oil and gas industries. A number of my friends do travel to some west african countries earning big bucks. But trust me the big bucks come with big responsibilities and risks serving at some volatile and hostile places as well as sacrifices for being away from the family. You cant win all... dont get driven by the high salaries so much as they they come in hand with the experience as well as the the aircraft type coverage you have in your licence. Do expect to live in living camps with electricty supplied by diesel powered generators. Its far from the glamour. So you do get paid for the responsibilities and the hardship you expected to face. For the newbies, please be extra careful when choosing your engineering school as not all of them are recognised by Malaysian authorities. Bear in mind, they are always profit driven and after your money. To the juniors, please prepare yourselves with all the knowledge. Remember, this career path is not about glamour. The high salaries is only driven by the lacks in number. Once the number outpaced the demand, the salaries will not be as high anymore. There was a gap of ten years where people were not sent for training due to the softening of the oil price in 1990s. Mind you its hardwork yet very fulfilling job.

    1. Well my friend. That is the reason an aircraft crash investigation takes many years. They will inspect and investigate thoroughly every possible cause of the crash. If you are found not guilty, there's nothing to worry about. But, if you are GUILTY, you will be charged for 2nd degree murder and will probably spend some time behind bars. You will also be expelled from the aviation industry.

    1. Hi anand.. i guess u just finish your spm last year right?. Atcually, at the moment market has been flooded with a lot of student just pass out. Even nowdays its quite difficult to find the place for on job training itself. Unless you willing to take a risk, please consider another field. I am LAE by myself and to answer your question APR Aviation training center quite good in producing LAE.
