QF 2003 Cadetship

Anyone out there in the know with any info regarding the cadetship? Is there going to be one? Any industry experience at the end?

Also with the Level 2 flight test, does anyone know what they are looking for?

Thanks in advance,
Buff.

Buffeting, I think I remember reading something about applications opening shortly for next years.

Industry experience will be 'interesting'. I think QF are still trying to get their heads around how that will occur.

Level 2 flight test (last I knew) was basically a CPL flight test. This following info comes from the QF web site under the selection briefing heading.
What does the Cadet Flight Test involve?

The Cadet Flight Test is required for level 2 candidates only and is designed to assess the candidate's current flying skills. The test will take place only if the candidate has already been issued with a Commercial (Aeroplane) Pilot Licence.

The test format is similar to that stipulated by CASA for initial issue of a CPL, including the ground component. Competitive candidates will be those who can demonstrate a level of competency which has a margin above the minimum standard required for issue of a CPL.

The test will be conducted by a testing officer appointed by Qantas. Wherever possible, and if suitable to Qantas, the test will take place at the capital city secondary airport of the candidate's choice. The aircraft used for the test will be any aircraft of the candidate's choice which meets the CASA requirements for conduct of a CPL Flight Test. The candidate is responsible for making such an aircraft available for the test and for payment of all aircraft charges and the testing officer's fee. The testing officer's travel and accommodation expenses will be borne by Qantas.

Level 2 candidates must perform competently in the Flight Test in order to be accepted into the Cadet Training Programme. Candidate's whose performance is not at a competitive standard will not be offered the option of entering Level 1 of the training Programme.
Hope that helps. If you haven't looked at the QF website already, go and have a look. Lots of good gen there and normally the answers for most questions.

Recent Flight Ops newsletter states that it has been approved and specific info will be posted on website late July/early August. Closing date likely to be Sept. 30.

QF website

Qantas 2002 Cadet Info . This is the website that all the info about 2002.

Surf around from there and you will find most of the answers. The dates may not be correct anymore but the base principles remain the same.

As Tuner 2 said the '03 program will go ahead.

I would imagine that the 2003 program will include the industry experience.

As for the flight test, as stated on the website it is very similar to the CPL flight test, including ground component. The testing officer will use the CPL test form to conduct the test. He may however use "his/her discretion to omit or repeat sequences as required to achieve the objectives of the test"

Cheers
