hey all,
Had my pilot specific testing today and I found it quite difficult, especially the maths, fuel, distance, time calcuations and hand-eye co-ordination tasks.
Also as I was doing the tests I questioned whether I knew exactly was required, which obviously may have brought down my results if I was doing the wrong things!
Unfortunately I did not meet the requirements for a pilot, and they offered me air defence instead, to which I declined.
Next shot at passing pilot testing is in 12 months, and I can only attempt this a total of 3 times.
It is very disappointing and I will be applying for my results through 'freedom of information' to try and work on the particular areas.
Good luck to anyone in the process - I would be happy to supply details of the test (don't have the time to post it right now... maybe some other time)
