Haven’t flown in a while? Whether it’s been 6 months or 10 years, AATA’s CPL Renewal Course helps you get current, qualified, and legally cleared to fly again in Malaysia.
Before beginning your renewal process, you must first obtain an approval letter from CAAM. This letter will outline the specific training and assessments you’ll need to complete—based on how long your licence has been expired.
The process falls under four main categories:

Expired for 1–5 Years
Expired for 5–10 Years
Expired for Over 10 Years
👉 Choose a CAAM-approved Approved Training Organisation (ATO) like AATA to guide you through the renewal process confidently and efficiently.
