Sky high from what I hear its going to be end of jan when you start

Sneaky, in all seriousness mate I respect your preparation and effort you have put towards getting in but their is one hard reality that you should plan for the most.

If you have passed the you session and specialist pilot testing you will most likely pass the assessment day providing you can sell yourself well. Once you have passed that , the real test is up next

Regardless of your prepping, when you're up in the pilot seat you either have that natural ability or you don't. Civilian flying hours really are to familiarise you with a plane and that is how you should treat it. It will not teach you how to fly a ct -4. I can guarantee you that. Gliding is great experience for flying and I would recommend that but I urge you to prep yourself mentally. You will feel down at some point and you will need to dig deep and stay focused. Believe in your ability and accept the fact that you may be good enough or you may not be. This is not a maths test that you can study for.

Also if you find chair flying is not for you, don't waste your time doing it , an early night sleep rather than staying up chair flying and studying does a lot more for you

I won't say any more about flight screening as I know PSA would prefer details of the 2 weeks to not be discussed, but good luck to you and all others
