A320 Training in England
 
Hi all, I will be going for A320 training at GCAT, London.

Just wondering if anybody has a website addy for that place?

Also how is the Training Curriculum Structured? How long is ground school? How many sim sessions?

Pilots that have gone through that school what their opinion is? Also if they have any suggestions, concerns or ideas?


Folks, I would appreciate any & all info! (Serious Replies please)

Were you after something different to www.gecat.com?

Capt.Tentacles 1st Mar 2007 05:31

You are totally correct! It was GECAT & not GCAT.:\ I did google it and find the website.
But was unable to get any course/curriculum info. Also the website was acting up. So still in limbo....

But thanks anyway!:)

"Aptitude tests and interviews are a 'healthcheck' as 'you can't fail them'. They then give you a debrief and tell you where to improve etc."

Are you refering only to the psycometric questionaire, or all the other tests inc: maths, spacial awareness and memory tests aswell?

Surely you can fail them and as a result they wont take you on

It's mainly based on your sim check. Which is very demanding as they are looking for a certain standard.

Just to let you know, I have known people that have failed it, so it may be worth getting practice in if anyone is going.

Do a search for GECAT sim checks, either 737 or 757, Shannon or Frankfurt. SID, G/H VOR hold, STAR ILS, followed by a engine failure after V1 if youve passed.
