Indeed and sorry for forgeting to tell you
I have around 13hrs on Chipmunks via the ATC but as the more astute of you will know i am 34! so this was a while ago to say the least!
Also i did the basic glider pilot course at RAF Chivenor VGS via the ATC which saw me through to a solo circuit in a Venture T2 motor glider after around 5 hours flight tuition.
It is tailored and expectations are related to your experience.
Also I was told that the P4 is not regarded in isolation. You whole selection process performance is adjudicated the afternoon after you P4 assessment and a descision usually arrives the same day.
IMHO I reckon they are looking to see if anyone freaks out on the flight deck and says 'You know what this isnt for me.' Quite right really considering the undertaking and the financial risk. Very responsible of CTC IMHO
