Hope to see ya there and good luck anyone with any phases coming up

Good luck mate, got mine next week (21st)... I've only got 30mins flying but hopefully that's not an issue... though judging by a couple of the posts above I'm not sure.

The CTC selection
I do agree with Sagey. Motivation and determination are the issues!
Do not think about "how to prepare" for the selection. The selection, as I just experienced, cannot be affected by any training. Try to face it relaxed (phase 2) and be yourself (phase 3). The selection is conceived to discover you quite in depth, you would not be able to cheat the assessors trying to be "the guy they're looking for". Up to now nobody has completely discovered what they're looking for...while some of us knows what hasn't gone right in his/her interview.
The selection itself will tell you quite a lot about you. Believe me!
Good luck to everybody!

Cheers Pazu, ill be sure and give my 2 bob after friday to let you how it all went, but after reading most of these pages it does seem that Sagey and Entropia here know what they're talking about...
All we can do is give it our best, here's to that.

hello
I will go to the phase 2 of the selection on the 21st of july.
I will lodge at "the grosvenor lodge"
It could be a good idea to share a taxi from there.

I'll be at Stage 2 on 21/07. Who else is about?
Bonjour Remi1,
I will also be at the 2nd Stage on the 21st though I won't be staying at the Grovenor. We could arrange to meet. For anyone who han't booked a place to stay I advise you to do it soon. They are getting booked out everywhere.

Fly Now,
Please read post #913 above - a response to a previous post of yours which you obviously missed.
Although it appears that Phases 2 and 3 are now combined for both Cadets and ATP candidates, Wings ATP is different to Wings Cadets. If you're asking specifically about ATP, you're in the wrong thread.

Good luck y'all. Hoping to apply for CTC Wings next year by which time I'll have my PPL (hopefully). Cheers for the useful info on preparation and the general outline of the stages everyone!

Ramper which one were you at phase 2 on fri? I was the guy with the blue shirt/suit combo.... how did you get on?
I'm off to Dibden Manor on August 2nd, cyu there?
Pazu, i said i've give my 2 bob and here it is:
Numeracy test: its easy if you know how... in my case it wasn't easy cos i failed it embaressingly enough! Its not that the questions are hard, its just the understanding them in the short amount of time thats the trick, i've got to re-take it at phase 3 in a couple weeks so i'll be practicing answering various questions against the clock, that would be my advice to anyone for this part (hopefully that will be enough to dust the cobwebs from the mathematical part of my brain anyway!)
Pilapt tests: as has been said infinately in this thread, there's basically nothing you can do to prepare for these, it's quite simply a battle between your mind and the computer.... just make sure your mind's at its peak when you take them on, thats all you can do.
Hope thats of use to someone in someway, other than that there's not much else to say.
Good luck to anyone with any phases coming up, hope to see some of you at Dibden in a couple weeks...
Oh and btw the sandwiches are almost worth the application money alone!

Ah good stuff Ramper, i know who you are now... congrats yourself, good that you can just concentrate on the interview in a couple weeks now rather than another test but i only have myself to blame there!
Bit strange that your a week later than me but i guess either you asked to delay or maybe there are a few others in the same position as me booked for the 2nd... anyways hope to see you sometime in the future
fly now:

this is screenshots and brief descriptions of what to expect in the pilapt's, don't think there's much more to explain really, good luck
p.s don't open the link in firefox, it doesn't work in that...

Yes it's an effort, but reading the previous 46 pages will give you everything you need to know in order to pass the whole of the selection process, including Pilapt.
An hour or so is not much to ask really...
