British Airways Future Pilot Programme.
The £200 entry fee also ensures that the people applying are totally committed. If there was no charge associated then they would be flooded with applicants who had no intention of actually taking forward the application to the end.
Besides £200 is nothing in the world of aviation, I got my licences converted from JAR to EASA recently and ratings added and that cost more than £250 for the CAA to print me some new bits of paper!

First Stage Application?
Just wondering if anyone would be willing to share their answers to the stage one essay questions on the application as I would like to know what sort of answers I was beaten by :P (I failed at the application stage)
If anyone is willing to share with me but doesn't want to say publicly then send me a PM
Thanks in advance!

Hi
First time poster, long time loiterer.
I had a great OAA experience - I understand the concerns about cost etc but on the day the staff were great and did everything they could to take the edge off our anxiety. Met some great fellow hopefuls and enjoyed it overall, even though it was the most nerve-wracking interview experience I've ever been through!
Good luck to all those who are still under consideration or still to be assessed, commiserations to those who haven't got past this hurdle.

FTE assessment
Hi all,
a question to those who have been through assessment already: where maths and physics questions / problems are presented, are formulas provided too? or are candidates expected to know any necessary formulas by heart? (Note: I'm not asking disclosure of any specifics).
Thanks in advance for any replies
and merry Christmas to everyone!

Did anyone do the Oxford assessment on the 13th Dec? It was lovely to meet you all, but didn't get a chance to catch anyone after the interviews and tests. Would be great to hear from anyone again

OAA Assessment
Afternoon all,
Just a quick question for those candidate that have been to the OAA assessments, having looked back at my invitation from OAA its states,
"The selection process will be conducted during a single day and will comprise of:
Computer based testing (COMPASS, Technical Test, Maths Test and Personality Profile) which will include:
- Orientation / Instrument interpretation
- Hand and eye co-ordination
- Spatial-orientation
- Multi-tasking ability
- Understanding of maths and physics
- Task management."
Does this mean that i wont be carrying out a Memory Recall test or have they simply forgot to mention this ?

CTC Stage 2
Who know's what the 'competency based interview' involves for CTC stage 2?
Any answer to the above would be good too. Although I am almost positive it is non-calculator.

CTC stage 2
Just like corners above ^^ I've also been wanting to ask if anyone has any experience with the competency based interview with CTC who is willing to share their experience? There are a few old threads with limited info on them! Thanks!
