CTC Hamilton Instructor Recruitment
Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what the selection process for instructors is like, what i need to brush up on, what they look for etc.............

General math quiz, written test that checks, for instance, the use of reference material, interview, group problems, PILAPT, and a sim ride.
Fairly intense, no-one gets 100%. :8 |
be short, angry and go 'goh its all f**ked' all the time
;) |
For instructors there is also a preflight brief required - GAP manual will be fine, but they are big on the UK instructional techniques - questions!
That's assuming you're already an intructor - if you aren't, and are applying for the sponsored instructor program, *don't* - get a C Cat somewhere else and then apply for direct entry. |
Be precise when explaining/pattering stuff. Ie dont use terms of the like “increase power a little bit”, they are looking for figures etc. Interview process is a long event, however its pretty good exp. If you’ve never done a pilot apt before. And if the DA42 sims are busy, then its fun times flying in the King Air sim.

Ie dont use terms of the like “increase power a little bit”, they are looking for figures etc. You'll find they are very deliberate with their instructor training when it comes to patter, building blocks, technique etc... |
oh well... my mate who did the sim ride, said "a little bit" with increasing power in a steep turn, then got his arse kicked for it.. i for one teach increasing with numbers, however instead of looking inside, know what a 100rpm change sounds like. Works well.. I guess the students from CTC, the very next day after finishing they are looking inside with their scarebus flying
|
yeah ok I'll give ya that one :P
|
If the testing guy says "its 1230 now and I want to be taxiiing out by 1pm", don't plan on a 10-15min pre flight briefing because you have yet to preflight the plane etc, still give him the full long briefing. A nice little trap that one.
