never done online I’m surprised they are I’m wondering what they are doing to prevent cheating, in any case it’s mostly GCSE based physics and the maths primarily speed distance time, pythagoras , fuel burn calculations. bearing/orientation questions Essentially you need your multiplication and division skills to be sharp read the questions carefully plenty of trick questions e.g 1.25 hrs is 1hr15 mins be fluid with swapping between mins and hours. Generally I find you may be better off starting from the hardest (question 20) and work back as they are weighted with the final 5 bringing the most marks. If you really dont know dont waste time move on and come back the clocks tick fast. The rest like ball test is hand eye coordination there are places like latestpilotjobs.com where you can practice and yes the left and right are reversed and controlled by twisting the joystick... the fasst test again is practicable but you need to have the ability cant really be trained as such... keep calm and focus. Let us know how you get on... I possibly would have suggested a bit of prep time would be sensible if you fail its 3 months so you will have the experience and will know where to practice. Best of luck

p.s the other tests are listening memory and cognitive reasoning tests some things you kind of have or you don’t... but pay attention to detail!

You've already failed the 'analytical skills' part of the assesment by wanting to start your training at the most expensive school during the worst period in current aviation history :D

Ah no! I have already found one organisation saying that this is the best time to start an integrated course, because it takes two years, and in two years everything will be fine!

Yeah you're right, just don't forget to pay everything up front and if possible remortgage your parents' house in the process

I’d imagine they are encouraging cheating at the moment to get anyone through their door they can!

Omg how's that even possible. Such waste of money & time. Sadly clearly a school only interested in making profits

Confirmed. Readable on their website. "Experts already predicting a U shape recovery"...

Scammers will always scam.

“A little incongruous”
 

You can’t blame ATOs for attempting to drum up business; it is survival time after all, and marketing departments do need to think of creative if not imaginative ways to entice the punter through the door.

For a start, make no charge for the selection process. Do you really need one anyway?

A cosy chat will a seasoned aviator will assess “the cut of their jib”.
And have lunch with the prospective student / group ~ a relaxed form of group interview.

Minimum 5 GCSEs / five NAT 5s (Scottish) including maths and english,
2 ‘A’ levels / 3 Scottish Highers (lower 6th exams)
[“A” equate to Advanced Highers]

It will become obvious within the first month of groundschool who are the “training risks” or real ‘no hopers’ : [sorry ~ never say never]
This is in effect a 4 week interview.

As one old hairy ex Nav groundschool instructor said to me when I was a new QFI at BAe flying college, PIK
“if they are thick at the groundschool, they will be thick at the flying”.
So true.

Normal hand to eye coordination sufficient to enjoy driving a car is fine.
It is not fast jet flying after all requiring a “large brain” as well.

Sorry, but I know from personal experience as a former A2 QFI and TKI this this is just simply NOT TRUE,

To quote an old phrase “the exception which proves the rule”

The human brain is amazing at ‘going up a few gears’

I don’t doubt for one minute that you will have customers who eventually see the light, and do well.
I can think of one “cross over” who went helicopters to fast jet, and did a tour with the Red Arrows.
To paraphrase his words “the mists cleared”.

Math part
 

hi I’ve a question regarding the part of math especially in the fuel consumption rate calculation, can you explain in more detail how can I understand better the subject, I have already done the stage 2 exam and I fail in the math part, and I’m surely that I fail in the consumption fuel rate can you help me understand better this topic. I will retake the exam in one month. Thanks

Sely

Can you tell me how do you study (prepare) for the part of consumption fuel rate. I don’t really understand that topic

Just out of interest, when did you leave school,
and what grades in Maths & Physics did you achieve in GCSE / A levels or their equivalents (in Mexico ~ if that really is your location??)

Don't worry, you will have least 2 / 3 years to fine tune your skills.

Consumption Fuel Rate
 

Hi everyone, can someone give an example of the type of problems regarding the part of consumption fuel rate. Thanks.

Hey. Did you retake the exam? How was it? What were the fuel consumption questions like?
