guys please make a note
yes the pass % in the written has gone up quite high.....but mind you the pass % in the interview has come down at the same rate if not even more.......just passing the written is not enough and recently they have made the CASS round as an elimination round as well.
the day i had my interview 9 were on the rolls....but only 3 got through
fortunately i was one of them.
so all the best to all who have passed.........and there is allways next time for those who didn't.
cheers

Have they changed pattern of CASS now?
What was given in the CASS round - Topic's/worklog's or skills?
Would be helpful to all if you can explain the CASS round a bit more.

well they send you a candidate handbook by e mail........one just has to go through it to have an idea of what CASS is all about?
basically its an assessment tool to measure the overall capability as a pilot.
which includes psychometry, mathematical skills, Perceptual Speed & Accuracy, English and speaking skill,reasoning skills like verbal, abstract and non verbal , , memory (short and long term), basic CRM skills, managing a lot of stress and a whole lot of different skills a good pilot should have. most of these skills are tested while flying on a simulator and thats where its gets difficult.
at the end of the day.. 375USD well spent ...no matter you pass or fail.

That was detailed explanation of CASS.
So no one fails in the CASS then it means the whole CASS worklog is discussed/assessed in Final Interview by the interviewer?
One more query :- Do they bombard candidates on SIM seat with un usual level of stress related work/skill test while analyzing candidates body language coupled with emotional state.After done with rating, in CAE SIM checks what kind off SIM routines/procedures do we need to show our skills ?

CASS
Hi guys,
Does anyone have an idea about how far is the cae test center from the Bangalore airport?
Those who have been there, could you suggest any good/cheap hotels nearby..?

Hotel at banglore
I had stayed at this hotel during my CASS
Hotel Narayana Comforts
Address:
No 9/9,Yelahanka,Yelahanka New Town,Bangalore,560064
Phone:
+91-80-28462751, +91-80-28462752.
They gave me a student discount,so the amount was around 900Rs for one day.The rooms and service both are good.....its situated on the Nh7 highway so the time to Cae will be about 25mins by taxi......the hotel also arranges taxi.My experience was good at this hotel.......I hope this will help someone.......good luck for CASS.

To the guys who have got call letters for the examination so far, the cae page says to fill up the 'online application form' to start the screening process, now I am assuming this refers to your profile/apply to this program on that page.
Or is there some other link that seems to elude my eyes?

Hope this helps and All the best for your CASS !!
