It will be worth it all in the end!!

One last time I ask,

Anyone attending Day 1 on the 16th of April?

PM me.

[nikoflyer]

Do you have any update on how long it is to start the training once you have been allocated a route? Is it different from one flight school to another?

[EGPF]

That's Day 1 done for me... Mixed feelings...

They said they take up to 8 weeks to allocate routes and that courses will probably start in October/November.

Thank you!

No problem, I can only hope I get next stage

My scores if I remember correctly,

Deviation indicator: 6,7,8
Flying through boxes: 6,6,6 (annoying 0 improvement though no drops in score..)
Multitask: 10 hits, 6 missed.

[Jetstream alpha]

I reckon you should be alright with those scores, they usually let you know within 24 hours. Good luck!

Sorry to ask, but do you have any tips for using the joystick? From what I've heard they aren't easy to use and the crosshair task can be deceptively difficult.

[EGPF]

So to my surprise... I passed day one!

Just booked day 2 for the 1st May, who else is going?

No need for apologies, feel free to ask any questions related to this

Yes, it can be deceptive because of how very sensitive the joystick is. I would recommend using a flight simulator with a joystick so you can become a bit confident using a joystick.

For the tests, follow the instructions and you'll have a chance to practice with their joystick.

Thank you Ciaran and and Gary!

Thank you very much for the response. In terms of the other parts of the aptitude testing, were they things that you had previously practiced?

Massive congratulations on getting through to day 2!

Does anyone have recommendations for pre-reading before starting ground school?

Thank you very much

Never having done an aptitude test, I used SkyTest to become familiar with the test as I hate not preparing for important tests. I wouldn't recommend practising too much on SkyTest as they are similar looking yet work differently so you don't want to get too comfortable with it - basically, expect differences in SkyTest and Pilapt.

I do highly recommend looking at many different cadet blogs for their experiences with Pilapt and that might build up a picture of what to expect better and perhaps some good tips to take note of - research is essential I say.

I also recommend using a flight simulator with a joystick. This may help with flying through the boxes and deviation indicator.
