Well, after reading chaz encounter with the fuel question, i'm having goose bumps all over again.
Anyway, the JKI booklet is the Aviation Knowledge booklet right?
That's the only booklet I got from them.
And the reasoning test is from the Raven's?
And what's a WOMBAT test?
Sorry, I'm still reading the thread from page 1 and i'm currently at page 30.

The wombat test is a computer based game you play where you are given a variety of tasks to do, and you will score points based on how well you can manage and prioritise tasks given to you. There is one main task which you must always monitor, then there are whats called bonus tasks, which you undertake to score more pointsl. Its quite fun actually!
If you are required to do the wombat test for stage 1, then they will send you an instructions booklet (not everyone will do it in stage 1, some will do it during stage 2, just depends on how they have structured your interview day, if in doubt always email them to confirm
)

Owh, nice...
Thank for filling me in with the WOMBAT test thing..
The JKI booklet is for the WOMBAT is it?
I won't be sitting for the WOMBAT test for the 1st round but instead, here are my schedules
The process comprises of the following components:
- Interview with both Personal and Technical Questions (45mins)
- Technical multiple-choice Questionnaire (45mins)
- Reasoning Test (45mins)
- A Personality Assessment (30mins)
Wondering what kind of technical question will they asked.
I'm afraid that the technical question can be very wide-scoped.

Midnightsky,
The wombat test is NOT the JKI test. The JKI test is the multiple choice technical test based MAINLY on the JKI booklet. Most (if not all, correct me if I'm wrong) applicants do the JKI test in stage 1.
As for the technical questions, I suggest you continue reading this thread. There are hundreds of examples of technical questions many kinda people have outlined from their experience. It will be a good general guide to the type of questions you may encounter during the interview and the degree of difficulty.
good luck on your interview.

Nope, the JKIbooklet is for the technical interview and Job Knowledge Test (multiple choice test based on materials in the book, there are a few questions that are outside the scope of the JKI booklet, such as company info). The wombat test is not related to the JKI booklet at all, it will come with its own instruction booklet if you are required to do it.

So, is "Technical multiple-choice Questionnaire (45mins)" can be considered as JKI? Because the only booklet I got is the Aviation Knowledge and that's it.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Hi dagger19 may I know where did you actually find out answer to
"How many flying hours do you have when you get the licence/after FTA training" ??
The FTA website itself did not specify the number of flying hours..
thanks for ur help!

u may not know the exact hours, but u can always make an intelligent guess and let them know how u arrive at it
looking at the many fresh CPL holders in PPRuNe, my guess would be 200-250hrs..
BTW dagger, glad that they didn't ask you very tough questions like what others had. u have a good chance for stage 2/3

Hello,
I am new to these forums. I am from USA and just applied to the cadet position. I have 249 hours, Private, Instrument and multi engine ratings. Just wondering what my chances of getting an interview are and how is it before you hear back from them.
Thanks

Stallone,
i screwed up the wombat test. i donno, just keeping my fingers crossed. it was the 1st thing in my itinerary. morale was low after that.
Blomqvist
I answered 250 - 300 after FTA, 1000-1500 to unfreeze the ATPL. I am not so sure cos I initially said 250-300 to unfreeze ATPL haha. corrected that after 5 sec. lol
