Hi everyone
Are you given a pen and paper for the maths part of stage 2 or is it purely in your head?
Cheers

Streety

You could start with 'the ability to think for oneself'...

Pazu888

Yes, the maths test itself is printed on paper and you get a pen, so you can do "workings out" on the paper itself.

I think that in that question they are essentially asking you if you have a realistic view of the job of a pilot, have you considered what they have to do and do you believe you would fit the profile. If you are still struggling with this then I suggest you read 'The Naked Pilot' by David Beaty, its a fantastic book, a real eye opener and quite chilling at times. It will give you an idea of what it is a pilot has to do.

Btw Cheers Pazu888

Please please, dont forget that copying answers word for word aimed at what the company want to see puts you into a difficult position, do you really know you have what it takes?? I'm not implying that you dont, I dont know you, but it is very much a 'think for yourself' excersize. What do you suspect would be important qualities on a flight deck and can you contribute to that?

Simply filling in the usual line of 'hard working, team orientated, career focused' etc etc etc wont exactly show that you know what youre talking about, lets face it, answers like that are given as obvious. Really think hard about how you could contribute and what qualities you have that you could bring to the working environment. Questions like this one arent simply a 'right or wrong' answer, its more of what do you think is important and CTC deciding if youre on the right track.

As I have said in the past, the selection isnt giving them the right answers and getting a pat on the head, its showing CTC who you are and what you can do and what attitude you have towards the job and them assessing you on it.

As Pazu888 and Streety said, its basically very much a think for yourself excersize, dont take the shortcut of trying to find out what the desired answers are and spitting them out onto your own application.

Good luck

plenty of newspapers and snacks to use the tray of your A319 to its best performance !

I'm quite good at card houses, maybe I'll mention it in the interview...

Pazu888

spaceman18

yeah that sites a good one, www.ctc19.com is pretty good too. maybe u can settle the big debate as to which is better, cadetpilot.com or ctc19.com.but despite what u see on there, u do work every so often out in NZ!!
Happy days.... hope u guys get a chance to go out there and survive the eye opener that is 'the outback' bar

Can I just ask what the "CP" identifier means. I've not seen that before.

MonarchA330

As far as Im aware, it stands for Cadet Pilot and is just the prefix for each course number.

Just completed the four questions bit of the cadet application. What other documentation do CTC require to be faxed to them along with the completed application, if any?

Cheers

From memory you only need to fax back the two pages of questions and answers along with the fax covering page.

Sky Wave

If ATP they require the last two pages of your log book and a copy of your licence. But just do whatever is says on the application form.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I failed one section of the PILAPT tests in Phase 2 of my application back in January, and now luckily CTC have asked if I would like to resit the PILAPT tests. Now of course I want to be a pilot and I am jumping at the chance to retake the test and hopefully pass however I am slightly concerned as to whether this is just a way for CTC to make money and then fail me again at this stage or further down the line.

I am more than likely to go for as its what I want to do but I am just interested to see if anyone else has been or is in the same situation as me and are considering trying again, and if so does anyone know any statistics of people making it on to the course after failing at phase 2 first time round?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Not sure on the statistics but i know people have done it. I'm just worried i make it through that stage, there's still a couple of more stages! However, i'm hoping to be invited to retry in september.

Does anybody know of anything you can do/purchase to practice multitasking?
