Hi, thanks for all the valuable advise on this page, it has answered tonnes of questions I would have had,

I'm flying down from Glasgow on Monday to do stage 2 on Tuesday. Even saw someone mention the ibis in Southampton I'm staying at for 2 nights. Looking forward to it but nervously trying to memorise all the aircraft details.

Anyone else going on Tuesday, send me a dm and also if anyone has tips on how to memorise the data in a small time frame, iv tried flash cards and even recorded myself on my phone to listen in the car 😂 it would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone still to sit assessments and waiting to hear the results.

Hey Darren,

I also have my stage 2 on Tuesday but unlike you I don't have too far to travel. I'm from Margate and I'm getting the train down. I've also got flash cards but I'm not even all the way through the booklet yet so I need to put my head down and get stuck in. Luckily enough I'll be sitting on the train for about 4 hours so I can use that time wisely 😁

Good luck to us both then Russ, I'm convinced they make it that difficult so very few candidates will get 100%, at least thats what I'm hoping 🤞

Hey man,

I have my stage 2 on next Friday and I'm flying from Australia.

They couldn't possibly expect us to memorise all the aircraft info could they? Let me know how yours goes!

I would try to memorise as much as you can for the knowledge test.

How do you unlock private messages on this, getting notifications saying I have some but can't read them or send them.
Thanks

Well done Darren, I have also passed and I'm now just waiting for a date some time in February. That way I have plenty of time to learn the book inside out and prepare for the interview questions.

Wishing you good luck. Let me know how you get on! ��

For those of you who have been through the process, how long did it take you to get security clearance?

Also as far as I'm aware Global in Gloucester only do approach and aerodrome (as well as basic), is that correct? What about CTC? Do they do everything i.e. approach, aerodrome, and area as well?

Mine took about 8 weeks. And yes, only ADI and APS ratings.

Did you get an e-mail from NATS or the UKVS to say that you'd received clearance?

Also, did NATS inform you when you're medical has been fully signed off?

Cheers

Those who have done stage two if you have a valid ID do you also have to bring your p45/60 and Birth Certificate or is that just for those without valid ID? Panicking slightly as can only find a copy of my birth certificate!

Your Class 3 medical certificate will be signed off there and then by the AME after the medical if you meet all the requirements. If there's something that needs further investigation then you'll need to go do that and it'll be referred to the CAA and they'll let you know.

Only need passport/DL if it's in date.

Thank you. Thats very helpful.

I've had a good look at parking posts on here but couldn’t find information on parking on roads so just wondered if anyone had parked on the roads nearby instead of the shopping center?

I passed stage 2 and had the email saying congrats etc on Nov 26th, but still as of yet had no email with dates to book stage 3. Wondering if this is a normal waiting timeframe given how prompt everything else has been so far?

Don't know why they'd take this down and leave others pages with out of date/incorrect info up.

Hi Beaves,

Yes I had mine on Nov 27th and I had an email the day after with a link that I can book my dates on. Have you checked your spam folder as I recall someone saying to check there a few pages back. If not I would suggest you contact them.

I failed Part 1 a few years ago then passed at my second attempt this year. If you remember what you struggled on last year, take some time to work on those areas before you start the Stage 1 tests - I did that and it helped considerably.

As far as Stage 2 goes, there's assessment centres regularly and you'll get dates available for a few months ahead. I passed mine at the beginning of April but selected a Stage 2 date of end of August as it suited me better at the time.
