More Thoughts on the GAPAN Test
Both Flyer and Today's Pilot ran articles about Airline aptitude this month. Both mentioned the GAPAN test. Both effectively said that if you get a high score in a GAPAN test then you are the right stuff.
Now I have done the GAPAN test (and received a high score...sorry had to drop that in) and for the life of me I cannot see anything in the test that actually relates to being a Captain, F/O or anything related to Airline flying specifically. What I think it does do is check that you are likely to get through the IR unscathed...but that is about it.
I think this whole aptitude thing is being a bit too hyped up now and is starting to miss the point. Any other views?
