Maths Test
Maths test is not a multiple choice, u will have to write down ur answers on a peace of paper, brush up on your 1 in 60, climb gradient, stall speed formulas, part 1 is pretty simple (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication) but part 2 can be tricky.

bond737,
Thanks! Wow, that's crazy, never learned this for my PPLs. They expect people with 0 hours to know this as well?
So would this suffice?:
1 in 60
Width of 1 degree (NM) = DME / 60
Climb Gradient
Climb Gradient = Change in Height / Horizontal Distance Traveled
1 NM = 6076 feet
Stall Speed
Level Stall Speed
Vs = Sq. Root (2W / RSCL)
W= Weight
R = Density of Air
CL = Max Coefficient of lift
Banked Stall Speed
Load Factor = 1 / cos (angle of bank)
VsBanked = Sq Root (Load Factor) x VsLevel
VsBanked = VsLevel / Sq Root cos (angle of bank)

Hi AsL402,
How long did it take you to receive an invite to Stage 2 after your Stage 1 interview?
I did mine in Mid-May and I haven't heard anything from them.
Just wanted to know the average wait time before sending them an email.
I know lucky86 waited for about a month as he stated in his earlier post.
Anyone knows about this is more than welcome to let me know!
Thanks in advance!

No pay 2 fly..
The idea is only for non-HKID holders who whish to fly for CX..
Just paying a part (50-50 deal or so) for your training..
Not paying for the typerating..
Only for the flight training at Adelaide. Not the full price, maybe a 50-50 deal or so..
Got it?

Btw, I've heard that CX can't fill their classes with enough HK Ab Initio's.. Someone who knows more..?

the only thing that I could think of to possibly make it easier would be to reduce the requirements for the advanced course possibly accepting pilots with a CPL but with lower hours than asked in the advanced entry course.
Btw, I already knew that the HK gvt stopped this.

Hi everyone!
I'm wondering if there's anyone here who got invited to AE Stage 1 on 29 Jun in HK?
PM me if you are please and all the best to others who are going to the interview on other dates!! Cheers.

Maybe they have to start another programme, where the non HKID holders have to pay for the flight training but with a guaranteed job with CX .
