Hi Jeames,

Would be good to meet up on 29th. I sent you a mail.

Let me know your travel palns and we can arrange to meet up.

Just got a place on the AQC with CTC, all I can say is just be yourself and relax, the interviewers are probably the friendliest I have ever met.

Hi All

I will also be attending phase II on the 30th June 2006.

I'm travelling up from Cornwall. Should anyone also attending phase II on this date that requires a lift on route let me know by replying to this thread.

Again I would also be grateful if anyone who has completed phase II has any advice/tips on getting through this stage?


Regards

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this very useful and informative thread.

Just wondering, I *think* im ok on the PILAPT type stuff (but time will tell) and the maths is my main concern. Ive been doing some revising but not to sure on the type of questions Im likely to get.

Would someone mind quickly posting some example type questions - obviously not the real ones but the type of questions.

Things I have been revising are addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and also looking at fractions as well e.g. 1/2 * 0.7 and that type of stuff.

Will I be ok or do I need to look into more detail in some of the areas?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone staying at the carrington hotel on 29th? Wanna share a taxi to the airport in the morning? Send me an email.

A few questions have been asked that myself and others have answered in great detail already, we took the time to come back here and give feedback to help others so please take the time to read this thread. All the questions have been covered again and again.

Well that may be the case Dragonfly but it is 40+ pages of stuff to go thru maybe if someone did a really indepth explanation of PhaseI - IV then you might not get so many repeated questions.

Just to second what dragonfly has said; everything you could want to know about the application process for the scheme is covered in detail in the previous pages. It's a long read, but many people have made the effort to go through it all. And if you're really that lazy/short of time, I hear the search function is some good...

Even better when you can not only search the site but also "search this thread" (the menu bar at the top of the first post of each page )

FatboyTim

also it seems to be the general opinion that the longer posts are the most useful posts (this isnt a rule, just a pattern!)

so if you whizz down a page quite quickly im sure you will spot the longer posts easily enough. This shouldnt take too long!

The people who post feedback on here spend alot of time doing so for the benefit of others and its a niggling little frustration to see people asking the same questions on every one of the last 44 pages!

I can only assume that this is the reason for the recent lack of replies to such matters. I for one have put a little bit of information on here regarding selectiong (not hints or "answers" for getting in, thats up to you!) but I, and many others, feel that reading this thread has become a little like a needle skipping on a record! Same questions over and over again

To summarise, the chances of asking 'can anyone give me any information about stage 2?' and getting a reply are very very slim as it often hints towards 'I cant be bothered reading the thread so can I get a tailor-made reply suited for me?' Please look through the other pages people!!

One last thing, if you think reading 44 pages of a forum is tedious, god, just wait for the work required on this course, PPL books, Aircraft Flight Manuals, Instrument Flying books, JAR OPS, FCL, Air Navigation Order, Cap 413...and thats not even touching on the MOUNTAINS of reading required for those ATPL exams!

I'm not having a moan people, those of you who know me will know thats not my style! Its just frustrating to know that there is some really useful stuff on here and its going to waste!

Happy flying!

This is just to put my 2 cents about phase 2. I passed phase 2 on June Friday 15.

1) Numeracy test. Long divisions, units conversion (instruction and conversione factors are clearly written within the specific question). These are subjects you should firmly know from primary school, and that you probably work with in your everyday life.

2) PILAPT test. I never experienced that prior to selection phase 2. I judged it very difficult, mostly it requires concentration and attention.

My opinion: nobody should worry about the numeracy test, while everybody should consider the PILAPT as a high demanding test, so requiring to face it relaxed after a 8 hours sleep and a good breakfast.

My question: why is everybody so worried about the numeracy test? It's not rocket science, every 11 y.o. student would kick it.

I agree with Fatboy Tim, everything you need to know is already here and many people have put lots of time into helping others on this CTC post. If people really are complaining about having to read just over 40 pages then dont even bother attempting the flying game. It is a MASSIVE amount of work and weeds those out quickly who dont have the will to study and dedicate lots of time to their careers. Many thanks to all the guys in the past who have posted up here. You have made the forum a potential goldmine of info for those who read it

Hi people,

Once again, but really the last one (i swear, no more stress from me!) i am here to find travel mates for journey... i am leaving from London the 5th early in the morning just to be at Southampton at 8 o'clock. Then i'm gonna take a taxi 'cause no other way's possible to me.
Does anybody wish to share taxi ride/costs from central station with me?
Otherwise; does anybody (and i bless you if that's possible!) have a possibility to give me a lift? I can also leave the train at Southampton Airport in this case if that sounds better for you!

Write me on pm, or just contact me on mobile (+39-3343438860), thanks!!

is anyone going to fase 3 from ctc on the 18th of july? and how can you prepare for the questions about the companies ctc is connected to? I dont think it is important how many a320's they have. what is good to know about them?

Mach 2.2

I believe it's called initiative m'boy.

Plus, it doesn't exactly take much effort to learn how many a/c each company have, and would certainly show the interviewers how keen you are. Especially when you consider how much you're going to have to learn for those exams...

Hi everyone

I have booked my Stage 2 for 21 July, I'm really excited... anyone else on here going on this day?

Big thanks to everyone who has posted on here, I've read the whole thing and it was really helpful to know (roughly) what to expect.

Well done everyone who has passed and is in NZ / flying jets!

Dyingforflying,

hi had phase 3 about a month or so ago.... My questions regarding ctc's partner airlines were quite open ended. I just found out what i wanted to know (as a prospective employee) about the partner airlines. That seemed to do the job. However there are different interview panels so i can't speak for everyone. For all i know they guy before me might have had a much harder time.

good luck.

"I dont think it is important how many a320's they have. what is good to know about them?"
Ok then, don't bother finding out but you might be kicking yourself in that interview. How hard you research depends on how easily you're scared by the sounds of silence after they ask you 'so, tell us all you know about X partner airline'. Treat it like going for a graduate job, if you have no knowledge of the scheme then you're out whatever your aptitude scores for having low motivation. Purely out of frustration: please do us a favour, find eJ's annual report and learn what load factor/operating profit/RPKs are!

dyingforflying

Thanks for the help guys. And do they ask any technical questions for example about flying and airplanes?
