Chairman Foreword
Greetings from AMC, and welcome to the new year of 2019. We have been around for eleven years
now, since our inception in May 2007. Our last ninth convocation saw 75 graduates obtained their
scrolls, both with the diploma and bachelor degree qualifications. Small in num-
ber, but never lacking in the quality that any tertiary graduates should have.
We have come a long way from a humble beginning with two-story shop- office
campus and single diploma program to our now stand-alone, dedicated campus
of 7 acres with 14 programs. With current 800 students including 40 odd foreign
students, from 13 nations, AMC is striving tirelessly to greater heights. Produc-
ing 600 graduates so far, AMC has seen many success stories from graduates
who have worked here in Malaysia and overseas, including Singapore.
How do we develop students with relevant skills facing the fast-changing millen-
nium? How do we face the inevitable 4th IR challenges that would see many
routine jobs lost to AI, robotic and Internet? These are the questions that need
to be answered by all educators worldwide including AMC. The students’ ability
to add value to the nation's economic ecosystem and well-being is paramount.
AMC is with this ever-growing trend and has never stopped looking at improving
its innovative teaching methodology.
The high-order thinking and the problem-solving skills are the key success factors that need to be gained
by all students. Indeed, we are continuously emphasizing on critical thinking and creativity development
of every student by the inclusion of comprehensive and holistic Spider-Web ICGPA. It would indicate the
knowledge, practical skills, social skills, ethics & value, communication, information management and
entrepreneurship scores of every student at every semester. This would enable students to know their
inherent weaknesses on the onset, and improve them as they continue their studies until graduating.

ing" Albert Einstein.
Happy landings.

CE Foreword
The year 2019 would be a new adventure for Aviation Management College with new leadership un-
der my belt. Having in charge of marketing for the last 3 years and academic for 6 years, the oppor-
tunity to be appointed as Chief Executive in the year 2019 would stamp a
landmark on my 10th year working with Aviation Management College.
Under my leadership as the newly appointed Chief Executive, my main
goals are to ensure AMC would continue the legacy of providing quality
education in ensuring our employability rate would be maintained 99.9%.
This could be measured and reflected on the 3 major audits that we are
shall be executing this year – ISO 9001:2015, MyQuest and our very own
Diploma Aviation Safety Management full accreditation audit. Simultane-
ously, the student enrolment remains a priority for AMC and we continue
to work to meet the KPI of 600 new registered students which shall mark a
new record high. Various new marketing approaches along with CSR ac-
tivities shall be implemented to outreach our local as well as international
market.
As the higher education has revolutionized to this stage, it would be satis-
fying to see innovative solutions to emerge in AMC. Digital platforms have
been introduced in AMC such as E-filling, Learning Management System, stu-
dent portal and many more. It is a great outcome to witness our marketing to
go fully digital replacing our conventional methods with up to 200 students enrolled with such effort for
the first 3 months of the year. It is one of my goals to expand this digitalization to other departments
especially academic to enhance the customer satisfaction by increasing the student digital interac-
tions. This approach will provide us new insights into how AMC can better deliver services to our stu-
dents and stakeholders.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the top management for having trust in me
to captain this flight. I sincerely believe with the hard work, professionalism, commitment and dedica-
tion from all AMC staffs, we can achieve our goals. Looking forward to lead and work alongside you
and may 2019 would be a great year for AMC, InsyaAllah.

DMET ENGINEERING PRACTICAL AT UNIKL MIAT
On January 14th until 18th 2019, a total of 70 students from Diploma of Aircraft Engineering Technology
(DMET) and Diploma of Aviation Safety Management (DSAM) from various semesters had performed a
five-days engineering practical workshop at UniKL MIAT. These students were divided into two major
groups which each group was assigned to two AMC’s own engineering lecturers, Sir Haniff and Sir
Fahmi.
“This is one of many ways we bring
students to work in real life indus-
try environment and we believe
it’s the best way they will learn.”
En. Helmi, Specialist (Mechanical),
UniKL MIAT
The five-days course started on January 14th in the morning where students were given a short briefing
by En. Mohd Jalal Bin Amran, Principal Specialist (Avionics) from UniKL MIAT about the safety and pre-
cautions throughout five days such as proper attire, personal protective equipment (PPE), do’s and don’t
while working in workshop, hangar and around live aircrafts, timely manners, and discipline.

All these students are required to complete six tasks which are; Hammer Project, Safety Wire Locking,
Non-Destructive Test (NDT), Aircraft Zoning References, Propeller Removal (Propeller 1), and Propel-
ler Blade Tracking (Propeller 2) covering from Aircraft Materials and Hardware (AMH 2204), Aircraft
Aerodynamic and Structure (AAS 22034 and Aircraft Propeller (PRO 2203) November 2018 semester
subjects. These tasks were assessed by UniKL MIAT lecturer and specialist and their marks will be
inserted as their AMC activity marks. The schedule for their practical session is as below :
HAMMER PROJECT
The objective of this assessment was for student to learn to use and care of tools, tool control meth-
ods and the use of workshop materials, measurement, dimensions, allowances, tolerances and stand-
ards of workmanship. The goal was to produce a 3” x 3/4” x 7” iron hammer from 3 13/16” x 3/4” mild
steel stock. This project was the toughest among other projects during five-days courses because stu-
dent have to cut the mild steel stock using steel saw by hand. Not as single cutting machine was per-
mitted. Here we observed that students
learnt how to use steel blade, measuring
rule, tap, dye and drilling machine properly
with UniKL MIAT specialist guidance and
assistance.
The process of this project invloved hand-
cutting techniques, drilling, tap and dye to
make a threat for the hammer rod, filling
using files and sand paper to produce a

NON DESTRUCTIVE TEST (NDT)
NDT is a process where aircraft engineers use to detect and pin-point cracks, chips, and breaks on
aircraft structure without taking the aircraft components apart or performing a test that may lead to the
destruction in any means to the component itself. There are many ways of NDT process such as Eddy
Current Testing, Magnetic Flux, Ultrasound, X-Ray, and Resonant Acoustic. Here, the students had
the opportunity to involve in two NDT testings which are Eddy Current and Magnetic Flux. This task
was held in UniKL MIAT NDT Workshop 1 and 2.
Student spent two days inside General Engineering Workshop for Hammer Project
5
EDDY CURRENT
To check cracks inside an aircraft fuselage panel, engineers will use Eddy Current method which the
electronic device will send out electromagnetic impulse through the probe and the feedback is will be
displayed on the device screen. Any cracks found between the panels will be showed in anomaly
readings. Engineers then will mark and pin-point the location of cracks for further actions in accord-
ance to NDTM / ASTM E2884-17 manual.

MAGNETIC FLUX
To perform a magnetic flux testing, a special dark room is required. This allows engineers to inspect the
cracks on any aircraft component with irregular shapes such as fasteners to be inspect and the cracks
will highlighted when the UV light was directed to the inspected parts.
“The environment inside the NDT
room was scary and awesome at the
same time !” - Aiman Bolhi, student

PROPELLER REMOVAL & BLADE TRACKING
The objective of this task is to give an opportunity to students to remove, inspect and reinstall the pro-
peller as well as realigned the propeller blades from Cessna 310, Cessna 152, and a Piper PA-44 air-
crafts. This task was held in UniKL MIAT Hangar 2 and was instructed by En. Asyraf, Hangar Techni-
cian from UniKL MIAT. Here, student was taught on how to read aircraft maintenance manual, espe-
cially on disassembly and reinstallation. The maintenance manual used for this task was AAM C310
and ASM AC43.

SAFETY LOCKING WIRE
The last task for this course was Safety Wire Locking project where student are back to General Engi-
neering workshop to perform the correct way of locking safety wire on the mock-up prepared by UniKL
MIAT. The goal of this task is to introduce student on how to install and remove safety wire locking
properly which the bolt installed can hold severe vibrations without loosen out from the mock-up. Stu-
dents were given 15” of MS20995C stainless steel lockwire from Malin & Co. and a safety wire plier
each. The marks for this task was given individually in term of strength of wire tight, number of twist
per inch, safety pig-tail, and the loosen level of the bolt installed.
Sir Haniff also demonstrate his ex-
pertise in locking wire to the stu-
dents. This concludes the five days
engineering practical at UniKL, MI-
AT. Aviation Management College
hopes that this collaboration will con-
tinue for the benefit of DMET stu-
dents. Engineering Practical V2.0

‘Charming and beauty with brain... ‘
Synonyms with their course study, DIPLOMA in CABIN CREW & AIRLINE SERVICES (DCCA), and
the preparations for their future career as a Frontliner, the students not only equip with the highest
level of knowledge. They are also will be impart with the skill of professional and sophisticated
appearance.
For that, in Aviation Management College, the students will be directed and guided towards how to
enhance their looks, appearance and at the same time take a good care of their health and personal
hygiene. The students are required to take SGE subject (SOCIAL GROOMING & ETHICS) to help
them in their appearance, to polish the professional image and how to deal with public in any
occasion.
For the female students, they will be exposed on how to use makeup tools and the use of colours that
are appropriate according to the event. As for male students, they been taught on how to cleanse their
face, body hygiene and how to maintain their appearance.
Besides that, students are also encouraged to keep themselves clean from head to toe. They are ex-
posed on how to maintain their health and body posture. The male students should take care of their
face, free from pimples and looks neat and tidy. They are not encouraged to have a beard. Likewise,
for female students without HIJAB they have to make sure they comb their hair neatly and healthy. For
the students with HIJAB they have to ensure the way they wear the HIJAB suitable with the clothing
and the event.
Nevertheless, after they have been taught theoretically and practically, the students will not be left
alone. They will be monitored from time to time to make sure they are practicing everything they have

PUBLIC RELATION’S KL TOWER VISIT
Excitement, enjoyfull and stressless! These feeling workout
when 71 students with 2 accompanied lecturer (Madam Umaira
and Madam Nur Baiti) went to Kuala Lumpur Tower on 9 and 10
August 2018. This class visit be held during weeKdays as alter-
native class session for subject Public relation. One of the most
reason is to expose the students with roles of public relation of-
ficer’s task and duty in the industry.
The assemble point is at Aviation management college at 9
o’clock morning and the students be given a short briefing by
project leader, Miss Nina Amiera on the itinerary and other sim-
ple protocol along of this trip. This is because the friendly reminder will make students focus on objec-
tive of the trip and at the same time they have quality experience.
Using the MRT as the public transport also embark more excitement to all students especially stu-
dents from Sabah and Sarawak as some of them this is their first experience. As tourism students, this
kind of exposure had given positive installation for their passion on observing the good transportation
support as a part of tourism supplier. Thus, the arrival at the Kl tower at 11 o clock and we all directly
go to nearest restaurant for the lunch. The area at KL tower
have offer variety of choices of food and beverages for local
and international tourist with the range of affordable prices. Af-
ter that, we be entertained by MR, Azhar Zamani as Public rela-
tion officer about branding of KL Tower, history of development,
remarkable building that need to be appreciated and lastly, we
be given with momento, certificate and the ice cream for the re-
freshment.
The visit be proceed with the KL tower tour up to the viewing
deck, sky box and the observation platform. The hallmark of this trip is the students be amazed with
the 421 constructed building as the as the highest and spectacular view of the city.

This gleaming tower’s spindle-like apex is visible from almost anywhere in Kuala Lumpur. Menara
KL’s viewing deck is, at 276 metres, at least 100 metres higher than the Petronas Twin Towers’ Sky-
bridge; the view is marvellous during the day and even better at night when the view of entire spar-
kling city centre.
The tower is erected atop the Bukit Nanas (Pineapple Hill) For-
est Reserve – the oldest gazetted forest reserve in the country,
which houses age-old trees as well as flora and fauna indige-
nous to Malaysia’s tropical climate. Primarily used as a com-
munications infrastructure, it is the fifth-tallest telecommunica-
tions tower in the world. When it was originally built, the natural
surroundings of Bukit Nanas were kept intact to ensure balance
in development; in fact a 100-year-old Jelutong tree was pre-
served, at great cost, by building a retaining wall around it.
When Menara KL Tower was constructed the overall design
was meant to represent the human journey for perfection in life. The tower’s architectural-style reflects
Malaysia’s vibrant Islamic heritage with Arabic scripts, Islamic tiles, and archetypal Islamic floral and
abstract patterns. The structure has ‘Muqarnas’ – a type of corbel
used as a decorative device in traditional Islamic and Persian archi-
tecture – underscoring its design as homage to the revival of Islamic
architectural heritage. The main lobby of the upper ground floor is
decorated with exquisite glass-clad domes that sparkle like giant
diamonds; the tower’s familiar globular pinnacle is inspired by a Ma-
laysian spinning top.
After 3 hours in touring and experience all the activities, students be
assemble back at mini theatre room as the last speech by the Mr.
Azhar. The closing ceremony be instilled with positive relation
among students and the staffs. Mr. Azhar also encourage more par-
ticipate from the students as education trip at kl tower such as team building and night at muzium.as
the time indicate 4pm, all students be depart from the Kuala Lumpur tower by preference public
transport.

DANGEROUS GOODS HANDLING: REAL CASES
AND EXPERIENCES TALK
“About midnight on Feb. 7, the crew of UPS flight 1307 was alerted to a smoke indication in the cock-
pit as their D C-8 freighter was on its final approach to Philadelphia International Airport. The pilots
immediately evacuated the airplane after landing, escaping with mi-
nor injuries as fire destroyed the plane and its cargo on the
ground” (DGI Global.Com News, 2018). The above incident is about
transporting “lithium batteries” by air.
Recognizing the importance of safe dangerous goods (DG) handling
in aviation industry, Aviation Management College has outlined one
core subject called Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (TDG
2103) in the program structure of Diploma in Flight Operation Management (DFOM) and Diploma in
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technology (DMET). The rationale behind this subject is to provide
students with basic knowledge in maintaining a safe handling of dangerous goods procedure. This is
essential element for DG handler to carry out their responsibilities in compliance to the international
safety standards.
In relation to the aforementioned subject, a DG talk has been orga-
nized by TDG 2103 students on 12th May 2018 (Saturday) at De-
wan Sri Salina, Aviation Management College. The 3-hours talk has
brought up the issues in dangerous goods handling based on real
cases and experiences which was presented by Mr. Tengku Sya-
hiran from Dangerous Goods Management Group, DGM (Malaysia).
He is an IATA certified trainer who has worked with few airlines
(Singapore Airlines, Air Asia, Malaysia Airlines etc) in dangerous
goods handling procedure.
There are about 200 participants who attended the talk. The talk
was also joined by Captain Abdul Manan together with TDG2103’s
lecturer, Madam Baiti. Most of the participants were the students
who have registered TDG2103 subject for March 2018 Semester.
They all looked excited to relate talk’s content with the topics had
learned in the lecture hall. Equipped with some DG pictures and videos, Mr. Tengku Syahiran has well
-delivered his talk and the audiences enjoyed listening to his own real industrial experiences in han-
dling dangerous goods.
In the end of the session, the participants were given opportunity to enhance their understanding on
DG during Q & A session. Few questions including career prospects and mishandling issues have
been entertained by the speaker. It helps a lot especially in adding some information for their PBL pro-
jects. This session is such a worthy event as the talk’s objectives of exposing the students with the
real industrial practice of handling DG and creating awareness on DG among students has been well-
achieved.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME AT ZOO NEGARA
Learning and teaching process does not rigid within the classroom atmosphere but the space can be
more than that. In due to that, the volunteerism programme has come into picture so that students will
be exposed with variety of learning process and can gain more knowledge. One of the classes which
involved in this program was under the supervision by Madam Umaira, Tourism Development (TDV
2223). This activity was participated by 35 student and held at Zoo Negara Kuala Lumpur on 2nd May
2019.
Zoo Negara covers 110 acres of land which is situated only 5km
from the city of Kuala Lumpur. Over the years, the zoo has trans-
formed itself to an open concept zoo with over 90% of its animals
being kept in spacious exhibits with landscape befitting its nature.
Zoo Negara is managed by a non-governmental organization
namely Malaysian Zoological Society. It complies with the latest
guidelines set by the World Association of Zoos and Aquarium
(Waza) and South-East Asian Zoo Association (Seaza) and has
increased its conservation awareness efforts. They are a total of
over 5446 specimen from 476 species of mammals, birds, reptiles,
amphibians and fish. The five pillars that Zoo Negara stands on
are education to create awareness on wildlife conservation, wildlife
conservation by breeding those rare species and releasing them
back into the wild, provide a haven knowledge and experience for researchers, recreation and provide
training in wildlife management for other zoos in Malaysia.
Along of this programme, the conservation and sustainable elements be imposed to students as they
have been introduced to get involved more with wildlife inhabitants’ being appreciate of their nature
habitats. Students were divided into several groups and be assigned for different task, for example the
Savannah Area, the Bear Complex, the Mammalia Kingdom, the Animal Show and the Aquarium,
amongst others.
Different kind of task were deligated as simple as sweeping fallen leaves, helping out to feed the zoo
animals, and involved in helping the zookeepers to prepare for the animal shows. There were some
students needed to prepare food for bird and other mammals, other teams were delivered the foods
and also helping in cleaning their debris and waste. The zookeepers were really helpful and friendly,
and also imparted some useful advices to students for not only keeping the zoo in good environment
but also stressed on the healthy balance life.

Since wildlife education does not only cover fauna, the Society then embarked putting a priority to-
wards the flora aspect in the zoo. The Education team was put to task at labelling all the trees around
the zoo. Visitors now may not only learn about our animals but our trees too. But due to rapid urbani-
zation in the vicinity of the zoo, the environment has been affected considerably, particularly, the
booming of the nearby Taman Melawati, a large housing estate. By this approach, students had more
