Aptitude

[Shamow]

Just interested in how many Wannabes did an aptitude test before deciding to crack on with becoming a commercial pilot? Do many people get their exams out of the way and then find they don't have the ability to get a cpl or an IR. Or is it something you just keep trying until you pass? Just curious?

I initially applied to the RAF. I didnt get in, but the results from my aptitude tests during selection really motivated me to persue a commercial career. It has also given me a lot of confidence that I might have lacked otherwise

I didn't do attempt an aptitude test as such before starting my commercial training, but I've passed all the ones I've sat as part of sponsorship selection processes, and like topper, the feedback from them has given me confidence that I will be able to pass the CPL and IR.
