RAF - 120 is enough, or was recently for Blimy, who got 120, and could not get an RN place, but got an RAF place.
112 is a pass, officially, but that does not mean it's enough to get in.
Do you think the benchmark figure of 130 for FAA aircrew acceptance would differ significantly (if at all) for ATC?
I'm curious because I've got an RN application for ATCO in progress, however I've been told that I probably won't need to sit FATs as I sat them in February last year and achieved a score of 127 for ATC. My ACLO reckons they will probably just carry this score over. However, if it turns out that I'd realistically need 130+ anyway, then I would definitely want to have another crack at them, and as it's been over a year, I don't see why I couldn't anyway. What do you reckon?
