Futurecadet, my interview with CTC was very relaxed, it was far more focused on why you want to be a pilot, why CTC, and then a few questions asking for examples of a time when you showed some core competencies. These include the obvious ones, e.g. leadership,teamwork.

The interview was extremely relaxed, more like a chat really. I didn't get asked a single technical question all day.

Hi guys, does anyone know whether they use inverted or normal test, or do they change it from time to time?

Thanks

pipersam

Mine was inverted, but I believe it can be changed in a click of the button so be prepared for both.

Hi there, can someone maybe sum up the best reactions here in this topic? Not the whole text but the reaction numbers are enough..

Thanks in advance!

There are 3943 posts (now.) Why can you not read them yourself and sum up the reaction? Every contributor has made their own individual comment, observation, question or summary.

What is it you feel you need to know?

captain.weird

Yeah I thought already that someone will put a reaction like you Bealzebub. I want to know a lot of information about the insides of the selections and of course, of the training. I can sum them up by myself yes, but maybe there is someone already here who has summed up the most useful posts..?

It is a very big thread, with I think a lot of useful posts. It will take a lot of time, but it will pay-off, I'm sure!

If someone has summed the most useful posts, can he/she please write them down? Otherwise I'll do it!

The interview process is just looking for average competencies in your abilities, so relax. It’s easy to get in to CTC now. The main thing they are looking for is your personality and of course the money to pay for the very overpriced training.

Think about whether you really want to go to CTC as they have changed a lot! The quality is now focused on the cheap and nasty training for the low cost Asian markets. The skills set of CTC has plummeted and they have mostly very low time fresh instructors. Air New Zealand recently chose five other training organisations over CTC. They are not interested in the JAA integrated course as this requires higher qualified (costly) instructors. The training is the bare minimums. And more... see older posts in this thread.

pipersam. My sources come from being there. You can also check out the pending rule changes that will affect the JAA instructor ratings on the caa web site. Basically to hold a JAA IR you will need a JAA CPL and this will mean all the NZ instructors doing a JAA CPL in the UK (VERY expensive). Whereas in the past they have beed allowed to use their NZ (ICAO) CPL.

Apologies for posting here but the social thread doesn't seem to be used anymore.

Anyone got their phase 2/3 on the 22nd and staying at Dale Farm House?

Hello,

Have any of you recently done phase 2 and remembers a little bit of maths question, there is a particular type that I want to go through again. If anyone remembers a question about sg volume and mass, could you tell me what exactly were they asking about and which values were provided please?

I would be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance

I did the test recently and there were no questions about volumes or masses. Expect fuel calculations, altitude calculations, square roots and basic arithmetic. You have plenty of time. I finished in 7 min, reviewed the slightly harder ones, and still got time left. I shouldn't worry if you have at least one brain cell with a feeling for maths.

I also recently did the test and I had 3 questions about determining the specific gravity of a volume.

Hi there, again apologies if this is not in the right place but i have my Phase 2 coming up on the 14th of July. Anyone who is also going on this date feel free to PM me!

Hi Jimmy

Just seen your post regarding stage 2 on thursday this week...i have mine later in the month, although thought i would get in contact!

Have you found any relevant questions or has anyone shed any light on example questions!?

Im willing to send over a couple of questions I believe should be relevant for the maths test when i get home from work tonight.

Would be great to hear from you after the stage 2 on thursday.

Best of luck

Preperation does work!

Hi all,
I have my CTC Cadet phase 2 and 3 test/interview coming up on the 17th August.
I have read many pages of this thread and recently there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of information about the maths test that you have to sit.
I'm wondering what type of questions they ask and is it still 15 questions in 15 minutes?
Thanks alot.

Hi,

I looked up in all PPRuNe forum but I couldn't find reliable information about this flight school.

Is there anybody who got into the Cadet programme and got employed by any of the partner airlines? Could you give me your opinion about the school and everything that you might consider important to know?

Thanks

It is interesting to watch how CTC has changed over the years. The comments from cadets/instructors 4-5 years ago were mostly good, then 2-4 years they became more damming due to the increase in costs. Now the most recent change has been the severe drop in Quality.
My advice to Tweety55 is to find recent information on CTC. Even ring up the NZ training school and ask to talk to some cadets/instructors.
You will be making a BIG investment, make sure you know what you are paying for. There are now a LOT of hidden costs that were previously included in the price.
