ATC IssuesA place where pilots may enter the 'lions den' that is Air Traffic Control in complete safety and find out the answers to all those obscure topics which you always wanted to know the answer to but were afraid to ask.
I've been invited to stage one on the 14th. I applied through an advert which said you had to be 18 when the course starts (October I believe it starts). But NATS.co.uk says be 18 when I applied. Im 18 in the first week of October. Will I get turned away?!
I emailed NATS two weeks ago but no response I leave on Thursday so i need to know soon!
Hi, ideally this question is for someone who is passed the stage 1 or even better already an ATC
In the part of the booklet where you need to learn the aircraft types/FL/speed/seating etc
Can someone give me an example of a question? Would it be something like: If you are flying from London to East Coast USA what plane will you likely be in and what FL/speed is it likely to fly at?
Is the part of what airlines use what aircraft something you NEED to know as im strugling remembering what one uses what part from the key big companies like BA etc
I filled out my application form Friday 07/09 received my initial online assessment 10/09 completed that and I have booked a date for 03/10. So it seems they are still recruiting.
Long drive from Lincoln down to Southampton but I am looking forward to it. Plenty of revision on maths before I go down. Bit of a pain to find any similar online assessments to the ones provided in the email though. Fingers crossed for all.
On the NATS website when it is listing the recruitment process it mentions a numeracy test on Assessment day one. Do you know what level this numeracy test is at? Will I just need to know multiplication, subtracting, adding, division and general speed calculations? or is it more in depth than that.
Glad to hear how quickly people have recieved the emails from HR inviting them back for Stage 3, it gives me slightly more confidence before the huge day
I'll be going down to Southampton on Thursday the 20th of September (interview starts at 08:15). I'll be staying at the Premier Inn. I'm feeling a tad apprehensive at the moment though, but reading posts here helps to clear my mind!
Nearly a week after doing the bio-data questionnaire I got the invite to Stage 2 this afternoon. Talk about suspense! Haven't booked a date yet as I'm stuck at work again! There seems to be a theme of letting me know results whilst I can do nothing about thwm,lol!
Good luck with Stage 2 Kimmikins. I decided to go to the one last Thursday. Still sat here waiting to see if I passed and progressed onwards to Stage 3. Barely no fingernails left!
Hi there, I have some questions regarding the test material for stage 1 & the email they send you, has anyone used the Practice Tests on SHL Website link? I've been on it but I can't see what's meant to be done? Just linked straight to the homepage.
For the ATC test, I assume the test material comes from the 24 page word document. But how about the numeracy test? How in depth with math is that?
As for the spatial reasoning and diagramming tests I have no worries.
I understand that you're not allowed to discuss what exactly is in the tests but vaguely, I'd appreciate if someone could clear this up a bit, especially the SHL website!
such a suspense
