Hi guys, I need some advise so I've hijacked my dads account to ask.
I have been offered the opportunity to attend OASC to take the Pilot Aptitude Testing Battery as part of a flying scholarship selection process. The visit isn't mandatory and will not prejudice my application either way.
Since I will be applying to join the RAF as officer aircrew in the summer, I see this as an opportunity for a 'cheeky heads up' of Cranwell and the OASC weekend. However, it has been pointed out to me that if I attend, my score, good or bad, will remain valid for 12 months and I won't be able to reattend within that period.
If I go and get a good score, brilliant. That can sit on the system for when I apply later in the year.
If I go and get a bad score will this hold up my RAF application process?
I'm thinking that if I apply in June then the application process could take a while and I may not be asked to OASC until March next year anyway. In which case, it might be worth having a 'cheeky shot' at OASC at the end of this March.
Your thoughts please?
