Hi everybody, I did my second stage interview in mid-Dec as well. Afterwards, I was asked to see a ophthalmologist to fill in a CAD ophthalmology examination report (maybe because I stated that I was short-sighted in my medical in confidence form). Looking at the interview materials here, it does not seem to be a standard practice, anybody any idea what does it show? Is it that all people with short sight are asked to do that? I thought this test would be conducted by CX during their medical test.
btw, I heard a friend who attended the same mid-Dec. second round interview has received rejection e-mail already.

About reapplying, does that mean we can reapply for next year november's interview session? Or we have to apply after we got rejected meaning we'd start our interviews in 2009.
I asked Cx about this but didn't get a reply yet

Someone mentioned to me that the one year wait is reset according to your last date of application. In other words, if you reapply within the one year waiting period then you will be required to wait a further year from the date of subsequent rejection. I cannot confirm this however, so don't hold me to it.

you can reapply one year after the date written on your rejection email. in my case, it is 27th December 2007, so i can apply on or after 28th December 2008, and yes, the interviews will be held in 2009.

Reapplying as soon as possible might not be the best option.
Instead, I would suggest that you take your time and find out what are your weaknesses and improve yourself.
Improve yourself to a point where you have the best improvement you could have done before reapplying again. Rushing into reapplication while not being ready is possibly one of the biggest mistake you could make.
Quite a few of the current cadets are re-applicants. Most, if not all of them, spent at least 2 years after their first application to improve themselves and prepare for the interviews before reapplying again.
Only do it when you are ready to, not when they say you could.

language examination
hey waterfrog,
i suppose the language examination you refer to is the ICAO English test. to quote osupilot2008 who has written about his experience,
obviously it is used to assess whether a candidate has the ability to use (aviation) english to an acceptable level. i have heard that the results you get from this test are used to assess whether any "follow-up actions" are needed; meaning that if your score is mediocre, you must re-take the test at a future date. if you score high enough, you are exempted from this test for life.
every CX cadet pilot applicant must take this test before Stage 3 assessment, along with the aircrew medical. KA cadets take the test after they return to HKG after training in ADL.

The pilot language assessment is about your speaking, listening, and understanding of English. It consists of different tasks which together last for about 30 mins. It will be something very similar to the questions in TOEFL: Listening to a conversation and answer the questions about the conversation you just heard. One thing about the recordings is that those recordings have accent from different counties. That's something u should pay attention on.

actually the language test has nothing to do with cadets application.
it is part of the requirement to obtain a HK ATPL/CPL license. CX just makes you do it all together since it doesn't take too much time to save themselves from having to schedule it later on

Starting from March this year, all pilots involved in international operations are required to achieve a minimum of level 4 on the ICAO English test. Since all operations by CX are international ops, the test must be done.
For more info, please refer to http://www.icao.int/icao/en/trivia/peltrgFAQ.htm
Anyway, Mr. Energie, it's a pleasant surprise to see you on here again!

The first round interviews are split into tests on one day, and the actual interview on another day. Does anyone know what the dress is for the tests (ie aptitude, english, reasoning, etc)?
