Hey guys! I just got the call for the first interview which will be on 27/4.

ShinkaiT: No worries mate, I did my AT on 21/3 and only just got the call today so my guess is that you'll need to wait for at least another week.

Just don't ever lose hope!!!

Hi there,

From what I gathered, Numerical test involves:

1.Speed/time questions
2.Flight route calculation
3.Charts and table
4.Fuel calculation

anyone can shed some light what more to expect?

Are we going to be given pen and paper to calculate?
or the possbility of calculator?

FelixLo:
Thanks for the tip! I have been improving my speed for the past while. I will continue on doing so until the test. BTW, were the questions hard?

jdurbridge:
I do speak English on a daily basis, so I hope (as you said) I will do alright on the English Test! I will make sure I get the answers correct. What would you say the difficulty of the math test was? Anything that was very complicated?
A relative of mine working for CX also told me it's very hard to finish all of them. Just make sure I get the right answers and do as much as I can.
As for the interview, I believe the first one is the HR interview (correct me if I am wrong). I had been researching about the company for the past couple months. I even went and analyzed their financial statements (out of curiosity).
Any questions that you thought was hard to answer?

Thanks again!

Hi there!

Hi all bros!

I applied KA CPP last year but failed at the apt test because of the faulty joystick!

Applied again mid-March this year and did the apt test a week ago, now waiting for the call for 1st interview.

Let's work hard and meet at Parafield!

The questions are not very hard but tedious, if you are fast using pen and paper to solve simple maths, it will be fine!

@Pyromania

yea im pretty sure you will be fine for the english and icao. examples are like "the dog ate/eight his food" and you pick the right word haha.
Maths wasnt hard math so dont worry about that too much. Its like percentages and working out how much fuel is burnt on different routes and working out which ones more efficient. All simple add or subtract math in my eyes.

As for the HR interview which you are right and is the first one. It is all about you. Its all about why you want to be a pilot what you are doing how it will help you become a pilot how you will be down in adelaide for 60 weeks etc etc.
They will ask some questions about the company depending on who takes it but i didnt get any whilst other people did. Make sure you know names of management. Seeing as you have been looking up on it the last month or how ever long i doubt you will have problems just sort of reference everything you have done into how it can and will help you become a good pilot.

The tech interview is where everything about KA will be asked. Management, planes, engines etc.

Good luck! let me know if you have any more questions

hi guys, i just received invitation for 1st interview..it will be on 30Apr! i did my AT on 24 Mar...good luck all

from what I've noticed, someone here did the AT on 21 Mar and got the invitation on 15 Apr...so there's a 3 working days difference between my AT and his (21 vs 24 Mar), as well as the call dates (15 vs 20 Apr)

tho it's hypothetical...hopes these could act as reference to you all

hello!

Just wanna see hows everyone preparing their tech in? I have heard in the past that people prepared years for this!

I mean I am going through different aircraft, aircraft systems, engine types and aerodynamic stuff...but dont really have an idea how in-depth i should go! I understand that the more you know the better chance u get..but this is kind of endless...:S
