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.
Just passed my stage 2 today, despite the evil that is the computer tests! Big thankyou to all the contributors for all your advice, it's been invaluable!
Well here's to stage 3 in Manchester! (big gulp and puts head straight back in to the motivation paper)
If you are referring to the Nav DLP, then the first test is on sections 2-7 and 10. Well, that's what us July intake had a few weeks back.
The other sections are "re taught" in the first few weeks. No major drama. It is multiple choice, except for a few variation/deviation and track/heading questions where you just work it out yourself.
I'm not in a B&B, I'm house sharing, but Westby Road is apparently the place to be for B&Bs. Some people have differing views on what is good and what isn't, but on the whole the Strand, the Edwardian and Ravensbourne seem to be most popular. The Au Levant (or the Boscombe Reef as it is now) is one to be avoided apparently, though some people seem to like it. If they like living with dirty kitchens, etc that is....
nav test - read the document a few times and get it to sink in and you'll have no bother
as regards b&b's - i stayed in the ravensbourne for my time (6 months) and i have no complaints at all to make, good rates, great landlord and good people (ATC only) staying in there. plus westby road is good for social/study depending on time of week

if you havent already, read through this whole thread. i agree it may take a while at 67 pages but there is heaps of info that has accumulated over time from loads of good sources and is pretty much all still relevant. if you have any specific questions then feel free to ask on here or pm, but i think you'll find the majority of your answers in detail are already on here
Yes, it's about getting a job in the cockpit, but it gives you all an idea of how much prep he did before his interview. Might be worth some thought.

Top tip no. 2 - a school might get you an interview, but that's just the start of it. I researched like my life depended on it. I borrowed books on interview techniques, I read-up on technical questions, I learned the company history by heart. I found out how many seats a Q400 has. I contacted Dash 8 pilots I knew, I pestered Flybe pilots via PPRuNe. I even managed to get a mock interview with a kindly recruiter from another airline. In short, I was prepared. Which is no more than they expect. The interview was on a Friday afternoon, friendly but probing, and I left feeling I had done as well as I could - but you can never be sure.
lol, i forgot to mention the computers in stage two. I literally laughed out load when i saw those, the woman supervising me didn't seem to pleased when i cracked an amstrad joke about them.
