Hi mate, if you googled, you'll find it's all laid out in the FTA website: Training Aircraft | Flight Training Adelaide. I thinks you also needs to improved you Eengrish.
Jokes aside, let me hijack this thread and ask another silly question about the CX CPP program. Flight Experience Hong Kong has just launched a set of courses aimed at preparing candidates for (presumably) CX CPP interviews. It's like a mini-MPL where they teach you all about fly heavy metal in 16 sim sessions. They throw in interview preps too, although they do not actually say their course gives you a higher chance of getting through. They do claim however the traditional route of self-sponsored PPL/CPL/MECIR is a complete waste of time and money if you want an airline pilot career. Let's assume many CPP hopefuls go through the course and turn up at CX with all their standard interview answers and sim maneouvre actions. Does it make CX's selection easier or harder ? (Note there are also courses run by PATS in Australia which includes psychometric testing for airline interviews among other things.) Any comments welcome.

Personal Opinion
I personally think its a waste of time and money.
What they charge for their course is not cheap and if you really think about it, there is not much as to what CX is looking for in a cadet pilot. In the interview they are looking for knowledge and passion. If you need to train for answers to prove these things - dont you think there it something wrong. Preparation is good, absolutely, however training applicants to be photocopies of each other can only be detrimental for the cadets. CX HR will smell you miles away.
Anyway.. these are my thoughts .. primarily because I believe I can do it without this Flightexperience.com stuff, and secondary reasons actually are that I want to know what they are teaching the 35K paying kids down there and thirdly because I cant bloody afford it !

Don't waste your money guys... CX does not even train using MPL license... and simulator maneuver, oh god please... you don't even touch a simulator of any jet aircraft if you are applying via the CPP method... so it is just a scam to get more sales of their flight experience, so don't be fooled!
