)
Tried copy and paste but the link wont work!! help!! anyone have a copy of this file? or can anyone tell me what sort of questions they ask? ive heard tell of things like QFE and QNH or what is an ILS,VOR,DME etc. that true?
Oh well. Here goes nothing!! If I fail, I will let you all know how working as a binman turns out!!!
cheers!

It is absolutely imperative to have learnt the NATS handout before your interview, so get revising, no need to apply to be a trashman...
good luck BTW

Interview
Had my interview on Friday and have to say that there is nothing to get too worked up about. As someone said earlier on the board: there is no point getting worked up it will only hamper performance. In fact on the whole found it quite enjoyable compared to other interviews I have been on.
However I thought the computer test was solid and think that may have f
d things up for me.
Could any one else who has taken it let me know if they got in after the feeling that they did crap on the comp test? I had a few collisions in the numbers thing and how are you meant to solve the questions at the same time?!

What stage of the application are you at like James123?
There are different booklets to learn before the aptitude test day and the interview test day (which you'll get a party invite to once you pass the aptitude tests). Could be a booklet from a different stage? Ring NATS and check.

Hi - I've recently applied too. NATS replied to my application the same afternoon I submitted it asking to attend the initial selection tests, which are at the end of March.
I shouldn't worry too much about the application. Of course make it good but don't spend too much time on it. I think the selection process of tests and interviews will really be the main factor deciding whether NATS will recruit us or not.
If you fail the initial selection tests, I understand you have to wait a year before you can reapply - so best to get it right the first time!
Hope this helps,
Kirk

Think I was at the same day as you Mingcole in London on Wednesday.
261A,
very straight forward, very clear, quite a few questions cant remember exactly but I do know as someone asked that hardly anyone finishes it so just try to answer them accurately as you can and get as many done as you can, time was about 18mins i think, all i remember is it went quick
All the best

maths Q's
The math is just mental arithmatic if you know your times tables you will be fine just work out the problems as basic equations and you will finnish them all with time to spare to double check them. remember you do not need to work out the answer to the decimal all you need to do is have a rough idea what the answer should be as you are given 5 choices. eg if you were asked whats 101/5 you do not need to know its 20.2 you should know straight away its just over 20 and the 20.2 anwer will be staring you in the face. hope this helps
cheers
