RMI indications are on the ND with is on centered map mode with SMT VOR tuned in.

My sink rate during SE landing momentarily exceeded 1000 FPM. I wanted to do a GA. Conveyed the same to my examiner. He said, you can continue as it's momentary. Any decision/reason to GA should be convey to the examiner, he would then give his inputs.

As far as WS goes, it was primarily based on the supplementary procedure of Adverse WX. WX radar WS alert inhibits were asked as well.

Some of the Qs where compiled from SO's who appeared before. Hence the fuel 30/40/50 rule and the B747 Q's which I still haven't been able to find anywhere.

Technical quiz for me was based on my current aircraft purely and few miscellaneous topics. For eg: Pick one system and explain. WX radar, Windshear discussion, typhoon, considerations after RTO, brake cooling schedule on the 787 (the A/C I am rated on) and Q's based on flaps drive non-normal C/L.

I am sorry I can't comment on declaration of AHK application as I don't have enough information to answer that.

Cheers:)

Excellent what’s app group!!! Thanks bible….. lot of good info and nice people.

hi bro, can share with me about the detail?

.….:D

Hi Bro pilot... how the mighty have fallen. What a f..king disgrace Cathay has become. The intellect being interviewed from days gone by must be mind boggling!
CX will have an AF event one day. CX447!

Future Bro pilots of Cathay. Pretty good example of HK Express actually 😂

Sorry if this has been covered before.
Trying to nail down a figure for a DEFO monthly income.

Annual HKD 897000 base (774000 after 17% tax) = 62000 a month
HKD 20000 monthly allowance (16600 after tax)
62000 + 16600 = HKD 78600

Is that accurate?
Are there other allowance/deductions?

Are allowances outside the salary taxable?

Online interview
 

Do they need a valid Medical on the video interview? How long do you wait for the HKG invitation?

Can’t remember if they ask for the valid medical on the online interview but you will need when invited to HKG for the assessment as you will need to upload updated documentation for license conversion before coming to HK.

Hi bro. Did you passed interview? Please share something. I plan to do this in the end of this month.

As far as I’m aware the housing allowance is not taxable. I don’t think you enter on the 17% scale directly either. I would count with 80.000hkd per month if you hit the target, net. I’m not 100% sure, but it’s a ballpark figure.

Hong Kong allowance is taxable, IRD sees it as salary. You can claim rental reimbursement if you are renting and it benefits you. Overseas allowances are paid to you retrospectively in HK, in HKD. Whether they are taxed or not depends on your IRD assessor, I've had different results in different tax years.

This question was probably asked already but, i have all the requirements for DEFO except those 500 as P1... Have a full ATPL though and 4000+ hrs. This means I still need to apply for SO? Is SO at Cathay the same as SO at, for example, KLM where you are just a permanent relief pilot? Thank you.

Did you do at least 250 hrs P1 as part of your hour buidling for CPL? I read the requirements as being P1 hrs can be claimed on any aircraft, P1 U/S MUST be claimed on aircraft certified as requiring 2 crew members. The HKCAD notes don't say anywhere that P1 hours MUST be commercial hours on a jet. Just how I've understood the regulations.

Would like to join the Whatsapp GC, interview schedule coming up soon. Appreciate the help. Thanks!

iceman25 would you mind sharing how long did you have to wait between your initial online interview to receiving the invite to HK?

But...how? It's not possible to tax our overseas allowances as they don't even show up in taxable income breakdown we use from People Hub to declare to IRD.

Any idea on what fleet DEFOs are placed?
