CTC Questions
You will be required to answer questions such as-
572-335,
How long will it take to descend to 18,000 from 33,000 if you rate of descent is 1800ft per min
how much fuel is required to complete a flight if.....blah blah blah
166*43
Currency conversions
Cube/square routes
The Pilapt testing is an experience, you have 3 attempts at each exercise, and they look for improvements on each attempt.....
The group exercise consists of, 'your fishing of the coast, when you boat sinks, you can take so many items with you, what would you take'. There is no correct answer, they are looking to see how you interact and work as a team, don't be afraid to make your views known.
Good luck

Rumours around that the hold pool has now completely disappeared? Is this true? We don't get told anything as cadets, everything we find out is through the grapevine!

Thats intersesting. So does that know mean that the cadets are going straight to an airline, without any delay after training?
Nevertheless, sectors of the UK and European market may well result in demand pressure on a year round basis, and overseas demand may well add to that.
A good time to be a graduating cadet at the moment, and hopefully that will spread out into the ATP pool on an accelerating basis.

Does anybody know the current pass rate for the cadets scheme for stages 2-3?
I have been reading all the comments in this thread and it was around 25% back in 2006 (50% passed stage 2 and 50% passed stage 3, which were assessed in different days). Considering the current global crisis and the fact that there is not any unsecured loan for successfull applicants any more (plus the fact that the price has gone up till circa 80k GBP, taking into account the cost of the foundation course at the current exchange rate), I guess they are currently not receiving 800 applications a month as they did in 2006-2007 (or that has been told in this forum). Therefore I suppose it might be a bit easier to be selected or am I totally wrong?

It's done on a "reach the standard" system. So if they're oversubscribed and you're good enough, you'll get in and just get put on a later course.
Similarly, if they're undersubscribed and you're crap, they won't take you. Courses run under capacity all the time they don't just fill them up with the next best candidates, they can't afford to risk their repuation and 100% record.

I've not been keeping up much with CTC recently but am booked onto their open day in March.
What are the current airlines taking from the CTC holdpool? I know Easy, Monarch and possibly Qatar in the future. Anyone else?
Something that I don't really understand is the Monarch MPL, surely this involved some sort of investment and planning by Monarch as the MPL cannot be issued without a tagged airline. In a time where Monarch seems to be narrowing its operations e.g 787s cancelled, why are they doing this? What do they have to gain from the MPL? Surely using the regular CPL/IR holders would be far cheaper and easier for them...
Cheers!

As far as I know, CTC's airlines are Easyjet, Easyjet suisse and DHL. The Monarch scheme is MPL I believe.
I've heard something somewhere (but no solid information at all) RE some middle east partners, but nothing concrete.
With The two Easyjet groups, you should expect to be "posted" at one of their bases in Europe.
