Yea, mine starts at twelve!

My assessment starts at 8am too, echoing AA757, BACF took about 4/5 hours IIRC

Anyone looking for accommodation, I'm at the Hampton by Hilton at EXT. It's literally ~100 metres door to door with Flybe

12:00 for me too on 09/03

I definitely recommend the Hampton by Hilton, its very comfortable and the staff are really friendly! you'll also run into Flybe crew who either nightstop there or are there for training.

Anybody any idea how many will be in each group?

I believe there is 6 or 8 per group with two start times (8am and 12pm) for the 4 days


So either 48 or 64 candidates.

I'm fairly sure its 6 per session, so 48 candidates were probably invited down.

If ircc, they said there was selection on the 7th, 8th & 9th March; so only three days! In that case, 6 per group, we are maybe looking at only 36 people?!

I think 6th is also available for assessments

"Successful candidates at this phase will be invited to a 1 day assessment centre at the Flybe Headquarters in Exeter, to be held between March 6th and 9th, 2017, both dates inclusive."

Hi everybody,

Do you have any clue about the assessment? Which tests are we going to undertake?

Besides, do you know something about the online tests we have to compete before the assessment (those provided by cut-e)?

Thanks :)


P.S.: What is the cost of Stage 3?

Is anybody still waiting for an invitation?

Still not heard back

Hi Sara98,

If it's similar to the BACF MPL with FTE, I'm assuming it will be; it'll be something along the lines of the following. Out of the interests of fairness I can't give too much away but the following should help.

Bog standard Interview with a representative from FTE.

Aptitude tests with a joystick or something. If you've got any kind of flying or even gaming experience these shouldn't be a huge problem.

Maths, physics, spacial and verbal reasoning written tests.

And the email mentioned a group exercise which I haven't done before.

I have to say I've never experienced the online tests before, not sure if someone like EZY_FR has... I think he's done a Flybe before. Having now done them I found them weird. Be interesting to see how much interest FTE/Flybe take in them.

Also no cost to Stage 3 other than any personal travel/accommodation expenses. As it should be.

Good Luck!

Does anyone know if it's possible to walk from the airport terminal to the Hilton hotel? It doesn't look too far on google maps!

Also, do you think FTE will be there? I thought it would only be Flybe handling the interview etc?

Yes you can Maverick, the hotel is a 15 min walk from the airport. FTE handled the assessments last year, so unless this changes, I can't see them not being there, since you will be put through FTE's assessment tests.

Does anybody have a copy of the initial MPL page from FTE detailing the route plan and other details please? FTE seem to have removed it from the page, unlike CTC.

Good Luck to everyone attending this year!

Anybody got a definitive no from this?

The content of the web page linked to the URL has been modified, so except if someone has taken a screenshot, I guess it's impossible to have access to the information.

Yeah exactly! I usually 'print' a pdf copy of them but forgot for this.
