Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme
I think the adverse yaw question is easier than explaining the stages of compression in the GE 90 right? Unless you're an engineering student, isn't this a tad too specific?
Could someone share your technical interview experience please?
This is like a walk in the dark not knowing how difficult the questions will be.

That's interviews for you.

There are lot of examples of technical interview questions in this thread.
Also, just like what the previous users posted, stick to what you know but to the best of your ability, at your level, and a little bit more.

I didn't get to reach the technical part of the interview, if there was one in Stage 1b but an example of using "mental maths" that first pops into my head, that I found in this whole thread, is:
If you're at an altitude of 33,000 ft and you're descending at a rate of 3,000 ft per minute, how long will it take you to reach MSL?
It's just a math/physics question in an aviation context and then I'm pretty sure they'll add a few more words to confuse you. I'm pretty sure this is way too simple and there are relatively harder questions in this thread. Then again, add the stares of the interviewers waiting for your answer and the stress builds and before you know it, you forgot how to divide and doubting yourself if it's the correct answer. lol.

Ahh. Good luck. When's your stage 2? How did your initial stages go?

I have stage 2 scheduled for the end of June. I honestly dont know how I did the previous stages… I am a bad judge of myself, but I guess I did alright so to stay in the game.
My next few posts could contain ecstatic or heartbreaking news; I have parts of me telling myself it will be a piece of cake and everything will be fine, but the bipolar end of him saying it will be too good of a truth for me to succeed.
When I applied earlier this year I thought this will just be a game and I will fail on EACH AND EVERY level until… if I can… stumble my way into CX cadet. But no, I cannot believe myself that I have made it this far. I felt if I am to fail now everything about me will just breakdown, I am sandwiched between two inevitable possibilities that are EQUALLY UNBELIEVABLE
As a result of that I am just continuously bulking my knowledge in this area, but there is something about this mentality that I fear will backfire on me.

Thanks for the reminder, CodyBlade. I checked them out a few months ago and saw that their admissions weren't open and forgot about them until now.

That's how I sometimes feel like I'm going to get in. I'm just gonna go through the stages and fail them at each new stage I encounter and learn from it until the end.
Anyways, you seem to be doing good so far. At least you got past Stage 1.

hi all, i did my stage 1b around a month ago but still having no reply from cx. i realized that people usually get the 1b result in about 1 to 2 weeks time according to some of the previous posts in this thread.
according to your experience, did i fail? or still no news is good news?
thanks all.

I have waited for a solid two-month period before receiving any notification from CX after my stage 1B. They asked me to submit some medical records even I had an valid Class 1 Medical.
So, be patient and wait.

Seems like they are in rush to recruit the cadets. I submited my application on 29th May and they sent the invitation back on the same day.
The HR ladies are working so efficiently!

Whoa. Yeah, the waiting times have been shorter and shorter now. That's actually a little scary, especially if you're thinking of preparing during the waiting time.
When's your Stage 1A scheduled for?

My 1A is scheduled on 22nd July. I've got to speed up my study since there isn't much time left. Honestly I don't feel completely comfortable due to the limited time for preparation.
I was shocked when I first received the email
. In fact I was expecting my application to fall into next batch, somehow they have managed to squeeze some space for me. Salute to the hard-working HR ladies
