Is anyone going to Dibden Manor for Phase 3 for the 18th October? Was wondering where people are stopping and when they're arriving. I'm flying to Southampton on the 17th and wondered if anyone wanted to share a taxi/car rental???

I'm also booked in for the Stage 2 Assessments on the 13th October. I'm staying at the Rylstone Hotel in Bournemouth (West Cliff Road) but staying for 2 nights (12th and 13th) as I wasn't sure what time the assessments finished (for catching my flight back to Prestwick). It's not too bad though, b&b for 2 nights - £30 per night, return flight from PWK to BOH £28.

If you fancy meeting up for a yap on the 12th or 13th pm me

bra -
about ten places a month

squawk ident -
you do your PPL ground school in the class room with the ground instructor. That take about two months. You then do your ATPL's on the computer with the bristol ground school software, its very good - it takes you all the way through in steps. Online tests monitor your performance. this info is sent via interweb back to bristol, and they cover the deficiencies in the two weeks you mention prior to exams. You have to go into CTC to access the software althought they are making it available in the accomodation soon im told.

I want to share my little experience...

First of all I would like to mention that I made it thru to stage 3, which I am going to attend on the 25th of October, without knowing pprune and I just realized what an useful source of informations it is, and I wanna contribute as well to help all of you guys wannabe pilots.

I failed my Stage 2 in March and been invited to resit stage 2 last week. I was there on the 25th of September, so anyone who was there please let me know whether u passed or not. Before starting me and the guys "ironically" asked if we could resit one more time in case we would gate close to pass, and the lady there (don't know her name, my bad) said we've been very lucky to be invited back, because now the policy of the company has changed and they're not inviting applicants back for reassessments!!

I know this will sound like a big disappointment to many of you who still have to go thru Stage 2, but before setting the alarm I would like to verify facts! Has anyone of you attended Stage 2 over the past 2/3 weeks and been given the chance to resit in 6 months time? Or did anyone of the CTC team mention this possibility when you attended stage 2? (they did when I attended first time)

Also, was she referring just to stage 2 or to all the stages of the selection process? So, same question to anyone who has recently gone thru stage 3 or 4 and failed... have you guys been invited for a resit?

Let's try to make this clear as soon as possible!!

Best luck to all of you going thru the selection process!!!

I'm there, think I'll be driving down tho. I'd offer to pick you up but I won't get there until late on the 17th (11-ish).

Hi guys,

I've got couple of questions about phase 4!

1 / Is the sim full motion or just fixed-based?
2 / What's the aircraft simulated?
3 / What to expect from the sim assessment for someone with few hours after PPL(A)?

MP me !
Cheers!

I'm not sure what the policy is for stage 2 but, having taken Stage 3 on 12th September, I've been invited back in 6 months time for reassessment so I guess she was just referring to a change in company policy to Stage 2.

Hey, would love to hear from anyone doing stage 2 on this date. Where are you flying/driving in from? Where will you be staying, all that practical stuff... Would be great to meet up for a drink the night before.

How long from submitting your application forms to hearing from CTC take?
I'm just teetering on the edge of submitting my application!

Bigaircraft

Not that long I don't think, I heard after a couple of days, might be more, might be less, they won't keep you waiting for weeks. Good luck mate

Delta452

I think for me it was around 10 days, and that included CTC emailing me because they couldnt read my handwritting on my written form

RS999

It took CTC 6 weeks to get back to me after submitting my application. Now on stage 2 on 13th October

Hi mate

I'm booked in for stage 2 on 13th. Flying to BOH on 12th. Staying at Rylstone Hotel on 12th & 13th then flying home to PIK on 14th. Would be good to meet up on the 12th. Delta452 is also interested in meeting up then too.

Bigaircraft

That happened to me too! I thought it was good of them, considering they could have just thrown our applications in the bin.

Bigaircraft

Very well, I stand corrected about not having to wait weeks! just shows that that you never really can tell.

Delta452

my thoughts exactly BigAC. Ive heard nothing but compliments for the CTC staff to be fair, everyone has said from communicating before hand to the actual stages the staff have been really friendly and helpful... makes going to the next stage all the more eagerly (sp) antisipating

Bigaircraft

Right, this is the last time I'll be on pprune until stage 4 on thrusday, really really nervous! Anyone esle who is going to be there on that date I'll see you there. Good luck to all whatever stage your at
