SYFC

Allow me to shed some light on being freshie and trying to get employed by SYFC. This is what usually happens.

1) You finish your CPL/IR and walk into SYFC interview. If you make it, Step 2.
2) Assesment of your GH skills up to 3 hours (3 one hoour sorties). If you make it, you go for your AFI course.
3) Then you become AFI.

Sucess rate for freshie less that 20%. 90% get chopped at stage 2.

Why????

Because my dear friends, SYFC standard very high, RSAF stantard. No 200 hour freshie has the ability to handle a PA 28 or the CT4E as what is required. I personnaly know 3 people chopped in stage 2 and 3. One from MFA, Malacca... one from Massey,NZ & one from Bankstown,Australia.

In Singapore aviation, let me remind you, its very cruel and unforgiving. You dream to much, you will be asking for it!
