The email address with the correct spelling of ‘dragon’ works fine, the spoof address was probably the first phase in filtering out the no hope candidates (if you can’t spell the company name then you really don’t belong). Good luck to all!!!!!!!

The programme is open for international applicants from April. I heard there will be no invitation for PQC in the next several months.

@Remus T

I heard there will be no invitation for PQC in the next several months.
but if they have started it, then they should be calling us (obviously HKID will be on priority).
I don't get it. Your starting a program but your not calling....????

P.S. - there are people (HKID) being called for Initial Assessment for PQC on 4rth and 5th may!!

Yes, but FYI some got rejected due to no time slot and they won't conduct any interviews for PQC in the next few months.

I am just curious, how many PQC has KA taken up to this point in 2012?
What kind of flying experience do those people have? (hours, piston/turbine, etc)

Thanks for answering anyway

same question from my side. Anyone hear who has attended the assessment would be kind enough to share his/her experience.

Sorry about my late reply was away from hk.

I have made it to the icao English test and will have my tech interview on 13/6 and sim on 15/6.

Any tips about the icao? Is that normal KA submit your license conversion application after the first interview??

Btw I have just about 254 hours!

I just had my Icao today and that was awful! Paraphrase was difficult... Other parts is ok but I didn't use too many difficult words just normal ans... The assessor was speaking so quick....I couldn't catch up with his speed... I dot think I pass I will need miracle to pass it.....

Initial manly foucs on my resume really! How I got my licnese where I got my licnese your family status who pay for your trainning etc... Nth really special to be honest! One thing i couldn't ans was the pilot roster which is 5 on 2 off or 4 on 3 off something like that! Couldn't remember all the question but this is what the interview all about basically.....

Still waiting for the icao result and I dont have too much hope on it....

Yesi heard from one of my frd who is non hkid applicant got the email from KA saying there is limited position and he will have to wait. Does that mean even hkid applicant will be affected as well? I still gotta wait for my icao retest....
