Thanks guys. I guess I got to leave my swimming "team" (individual) and join my friend's water polo team.
You say that we can have other interests. For example, I love anything that lets you go faster than 100km/h, meaning I have a great interest for jets but also motorcycles. Does having a motorcycle lessen my chances at getting in because many people see it as a dangerous immature thing to have? Or should I just get rid of my motorcycle?
dj - Don't worry about the analogy, just took me a few re-reads to understand. I am tall and thin, you got me worried for a while.

Well I just thought I'd share my news! I had my phase 3 on thursday...it was a resit, I was told to come back after a year after my first shot at phase 3 back last June.
So yeah, I'm absolutely delighted to be able to say I passed! The feeling of elation is just incredible! I'm so relieved, to finally be nearly there on the thing that I've wanted for so long!
So anyways, anyone else that had their phase 3 on thursday (6th) drop me a message and let me know how you got on!
Good luck to those above with their phase 2s and so on!
See y'all in NZ!

The post is over 1.5 years old so I just want to make sure that I'm not expecting something completely different to whats in Stage 2 now!

Well I've just spent the last 2 weeks on and off reading this thread, al questions have been answered apart from...
Will it affect my chances of getting through if I don't have a driving license? The money I've saved for it has been spent on flying!

I don't have a driving license either, they have no dramas with it.
Infact that came up in my interview and I said cause flying is more important to me so I spend my money on that.

For the guys who've done phase 2....
For the pattern identification in the pilapt tests, do the shapes you're looking for have the same orientation as it appears initially? Or are they rotated etc.
And can other shapes appear within the shape you're looking for?
I looked at the screen shot on the pilapt website and it looks incredibly confusing :s
Many thanks

Read the first page of this thread that'll give you a link to a full guide on Phase 2.
As for the shapes one, they can be any orientation. I found it a very hard one and at times couldn't see anything at all. Just don't worry about it.

In the shapes exercise, the shapes will appear in the exact orientation as the example in the bottom box. It did in my test anyway. Best thing to do is read the instructions carefully.
Penny, the counting exercise forms part of the final capacity test. You will hear a starting number and the amount each number will reduce by i.e. 500 and 4. The countdown will then start and you will hear 500...496....492...etc. If the next number was 489 then the sequence has changed to 3 and you would pull the trigger on the joystick and so on. Next, you will do this while doing the deviation test. The last and final bi
ch of a test will make you do the countdown, deviation and shape recognition all at once.
Certainly boggles one's mind

On the count down one my finger kept twitching on the joystick and I accidently pressed the trigger a couple of times 
.
The shape orientation, I was sure I saw some upside down... but then it was a difficult one, perhaps my mind was playing with me.

You will need a driving licence (and a car!) for the Bournemouth phase of training. And definately once you get to your airline. Public transport is no use for that 5am report!
