Do you mind letting us know how does the assessment take place , is it similar to ctc pilapt system and are we allowed calc. , multiple choice , how much time or whats the format with what kind of math and physics? I am planning to do an assessment with aag soon so trying to prepare myself if i can

Jetlife 8th Feb 2014 20:00

when i did the assessment it involved a basic math test without calculator, basic English test all multiple choice 1 hour for each and 30 questions i believe from what i recall and a psychometric evaluation, but i heard that they changed that now its everything i mentioned above with a more complex math test which also involves some arithmetic's amoung other things, what i can do is ask around and see what the more recent batches had to do for their assessment.

Tobepilot 4th Mar 2014 06:25

still thinking about it, but if so you may see me in may. Also has the fees of the course increased?

Tobepilot 10th Mar 2014 10:34

wow wasnt really up to date with all the changes :/ could you keep me updated on the assement pattern changes?

Tobepilot 3rd Apr 2014 06:06

But how do we prepare for it? How are the questions?
I'm 17 :)

Hagop 11th Apr 2014 15:46

I've read 2 different things about this program: cadets will fly for 750 hours in an A320, after which the airline will decide whether to hire or not.
And, cadets are guaranteed 1500 hours with the airline. Does anyone have any official info about it?
If a cadet is successful at the assessments and been offered a place on the MPL program, is a contract signed between the cadet and the airline for employment prior the commencement of the training?

apollo80 12th Apr 2014 21:33

Hi Guys, do you know if Alpha or any other MPL school that offers a Financing Option to pay off school ?

Tobepilot 26th Apr 2014 11:07

Its a risk to do it without a degree, but if it works out it would be well worth it :/ i really dont know.

cadets are guaranteed 1500 hrs but during that time when you reach 750 hrs or so they will decide if they want to hire you as a first officer after completing the 1500 hrs.

There is no such option as of such...for AAG that is.

Hagop 2nd May 2014 16:04

Is the cadet guaranteed the 1500 hours after completing the MPL? Is there a legal contract signed between the cadet and the airline before commencing the training phase that guarantees this promise?

Hagop 16th May 2014 16:24

Line training by itself is nothing. You need to be sure about the 1500 hour promise.

opl330 1st Jun 2014 16:21

hello ,

I would like to know when you will finish the training and passing you can work with air arabia based in Morocco , or you have to do the 1500 hours in Sharjah base ?

Stratocruiser377 15th Jun 2014 12:57

opl330, unfortunately you can only fly with Air Arabia from Sharjah. Morocco doesn't recognise the MPL. However, once you convert to an ATPL after 1500hrs you may be able to get the Moroccan CAA to issue a validation on your UAE License or convert to a Moroccan ATPL depending upon their requirements.

AAG Assessment
 
Hello,
I am going to go to Sharjah soon to do the assessment and I would like to know some information. For instance, how is the math and physics exams are going to be and what kind of questions should i expect. Also, I would like to know what kind of questions will I be asked during the interview.

I need as much as help I can get, any information about the assessment will be useful and ill be very grateful.

Thanks

Information regarding AAG
 
Brother please tell me about the current status do they offer job after completion of the program?What about the requirements and procedure for admission in AAG Sharjah and the total cost of the program?

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 19:41

Joining Alpha in September.
Anyone else?

vaiokid 12th Aug 2014 19:43

what is the total cost of that program right now?

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 19:54

around 570,000 dhs

vaiokid 12th Aug 2014 20:15

when we get paid after starting flying?

some peoples said after 750 hour free flying they paid a low level sallary, is that true?

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 20:22

Well from what I've read you get paid 5000 a month after your 18 month training and then apparently it increases to 15000 a month. dont know how far thats true

QaisPilot 12th Aug 2014 20:28

Assesment
 
Hi Mohamad im intending to do the assessment before September in order to take a place in the next course, is there any information you could till about the assessment, and ill really appreciate it if you send me your number so we could contact due Watsaap or calls if necessary.

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 20:31

Looks like we might end up in the same batch:ok:

Ill PM you my number.:)

vaiokid 12th Aug 2014 20:34

what is the FO sallary at air arabia? after 1500 hours how much money they gave?

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 20:41

This should help

Air Arabia pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

vaiokid 12th Aug 2014 20:57

i am a mechanical engineer also i know 3 language , do you think this helps me to get the job after finishing course?

Also so many times i sent email to AAA but nobody answer, how can i apply there?
My last question what is the minimum english level they required?

MohammedSalman 12th Aug 2014 21:35

Well I think having a degree is an advantage if you choose to leave.
Languages im not too sure about.

Don't Email them. They never answer to emails. Try calling them on +971 6 557 4243

Im not too sure about the English bit but I think High school English should suffice

vaiokid 13th Aug 2014 07:03

Type rating and line training is included to that price?

also all the educations at sharjah? or some parts at greece? how many months,

MohammedSalman 13th Aug 2014 09:51

The ground training happens in Sharjah and the flying training is done in Greece for 3 months.
I will PM you about Line training.

pilot014 27th Aug 2014 23:13

AAA
 
Hello,



1500 hours are guaranteed after you finish the 18 months course but a security cheque of 110,000 AED is required by Air Arabia which will be recovered with a period of 60 months , 1500 hours will take 2 years to finish because you cant exceed 750 hours per year due to the avaition rules, After the 1500 hours if you are hired by AirArabia ( First officer) your salary starts from 20,000AED.

Can anyone give me an idea about the physics and math tests?? Are they hard?

If any one wants some help I can send you full information original from Alpha Aviation Academy.



- Assessment : Physics : forces, motion ... , Math : Percentage, Rates ...

MohammedSalman 4th Sep 2014 09:55

I just gave my assessments few days ago.
The math and physics are very easy.
As long as you've done math and physics till 12th grade, you have nothing to worry about .

KhaledJanahi 18th Feb 2015 02:06

Hello,

I will be doing my assessment test in April.
What do you guys recommend me to familiarize myself with before doing the assessment?

Thanks in advance.

Officer Kite 21st Feb 2015 14:43

Khaled, everything that Alpha state in their e-mail about the assessment will be assessed is what I heard.

Can anyone please confirm the financial arrangements for me ?

I understand you pay AED 570,000 for the course and then AED 110,000 for line training. Is the line training part given back to you ? It seems like a very excessive amount and makes CTC look kind of cheap (-er). Would someone be kind enough to tell me how much can you reasonably expect to spend on this programme ? Do Alpha provide subsidised accommodation ? Are the living costs quite high too ?

Thanks in advance.

crazy_bird 9th May 2015 10:12

i am planning to join alpha this july.
i have been hearing rumors that the fees might be increased to 800k, can someone please confirm that?
Also, is air arabia still giving permanent contracts at the end of the 1500 hours?

thanks

NickiSky 10th May 2015 20:57

Hi, Crazy Bird)
I am going to join AAA in partnership with Air Arabia. Do you have account on facebook?

akm447 14th May 2015 21:19

hi,

i just read through this thread looking for info about the assessment portion of this program, especially the math/physics section. somebody mentioned that "its extremely easy if you have completed grade 12." are there specific details any of you recent cadets could possibly offer us about the assessment questions asked? Is there a pass/fail score cut-off? I have a 4 year uni degree but math/physics are not my strong point.
Anybody who have also done the CTC assessment, are these two tests similar?

Cheers

KhaledJanahi 16th May 2015 22:46

Hi,

I have done the assessment and it went very well.
If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Thanks.

donpizmeov 17th May 2015 07:30

I believe being able to correctly answer the question "have you got all the money ready to give us for this course?" will ensure your success. Are people really willing to pay this much?
