How long have you got to learn it?

I've got a couple of days to get it to stick.... been trying out the major system to memorise but that's not really helped

If the new booklet is like the old I am presuming you are talking about the aircraft info section? If not just ignore what I'm waffling on about!

First off I wouldn't worry too much about recalling every little piece of info about the aircraft, especially at this stage in the process. During my stage 3 (admittedly the older process) I didn't have to recall any actual aircraft info, but a basic understanding of the main manufacturer models helped very slightly. However, competent knowledge of the other information in the booklet was extremely useful.

That being said I didn't know this before hand so revised the final few pages by grouping aircraft into flight levels and cruising speeds which helped. I made a set of very basic graphs for FLs (aircraft on the x-axis and FL on the y-axis), on this I could add basic other info too and as I'm a very visual learner I became able to recall the image in my head when needed.

Capacity numbers are so variable in the real world, so long as you have an idea of the difference between the smaller narrow body aircraft (e.g. B737's/A320s...) and larger wide body (e.g. B777s/A380...) this may come in useful.

As for routes and companies I honestly didn't worry too much, again just knowing that the European carriers are likely to use smaller aircraft and the international carriers larger may be useful but I'd be amazed if any of this information turns into a deal breaker so long as you're showing the right attributes in other areas.

Anyway best of luck with the day and maybe we'll cross paths in the future!

Thank you Topcat47... although the new one isn't as complicated as the old one... I need to know aircraft type, cruising level, speed, and destinations, thankfully they have simplified this section a little.
I like the graph idea I will try this, It may help with recall :)
it's good to know they don't focus too much on this last section, takes the stress out of it a little
Thanks, hope our paths do cross :)

Has anyone received any news yet from the new Stage 3's? Good or bad...

I was in the second group on 10th June, so approaching the 30 days now.

Well at least I'm not the only one!

Did they give you any info on how you would be notified?

The last system was a call for yes and just an email for no.

Well, If your Stage 3 was before mine, that means we'll both know for sure by the 10th, so 9 days... :S

When did you sit yours?

Make sure to update us if you hear anything!

Ah right, so you should be finding out in the next couple of days?

Yeah I suppose so! It will be what it will be, you gonna try again if you don't get through this time?

Good luck to all waiting to hear back from Stage 3!

I have mine coming up on the 24th July, so three weeks today! Anyone else sitting theirs on the same day?

I will be there on the 24th!

Good luck to all, and Spacejam I’ll be attending on the 24th also! Looking forward to it. 😀

I hope today went well for you! :)

I think it went well, but I'm always the second guessing myself after the fact... now the waiting starts, they did mention it could a few weeks to here back.
Good luck to all who have their stage 3 coming up and to those who are waiting to hear back from the assessment day

Well done for completing the day, hope it went well. Can i ask how many candidates were there today?

there were 7 but I think it varies each time

I've got mine on the 24th as well!
