thanks stallone & drareg,

I guess that might be one of the reason. I overlooked things. Pilots should be observant and there would be no 2nd chance during emergencies..

feel really suck.... I guess i'll just move on, do a lot of self improvements and reapply....

Hi kawazoe,

I had a friend who also did his eye test at the centre but still manage to get through the first and second rounds of interview. It may be that you have overlooked this but it's only one factor.

Don't give up hope!

Personally, I feel the interview play a bigger role for selection. More importantly, reflect on your interview on how it went. Think of how you can better present your points as well as yourself when the opportunity next arises. Look through this whole thread but focus more on the recent posts. Lots of info to be gained and I hope it will come in handy when you re-apply.

Best of luck,
d1ce

@d1ce, i satisfy option d...hope the info helps :ok:

@neraz, 3 mths are very long. Hope that u will receive a positive reply from them :ok:

Hi all,

congrats to all those who received the confirmations.

Anyway I am Singaporean above 26 when i'm attending OBS. 21days for old legs like me is going to be tough man.

Here are a few tips when going for the interviews:

1) Please bring your own pen for interviews so you don't have to trouble anyone to borrow one. It is one of the little things that show much about your personal responsibility.

2) Be very familiar what are the entry criteria and make sure you satisfy them before you apply, e.g. 1.65m, visual acuity and min 5 O'Levels, etc.

3) For the eye checkup, you should provide an eye exam report from your doctor stating your unaided and aided visual acuity and colour vision (Ishihara or Snellen's chart tests). Don't forget these or else you may have to go for another eye exam in the clinic next door to the interview rooms (more $$$ and hassle).

Just a little more explanation on what all these eye business means... note that they are very strict on eyesight requirements and will turn you away if you do not meet those requirements.

For those who do not wear glasses ('perfect eyesight'), your visual acuity should be 6/6 (or 6/5 or 6/4). This is termed unaided visual acuity.

For those who wear glasses, you should provide both your unaided and aided visual acuity. For unaided acuity (not wearing glasses), you should be 6/60 or better. For aided acuity (wearing glasses), you should be 6/6 or better (e.g. if you are 6/9 with your glasses on, you should probably re-fit a new pair of glasses so that you are 6/6).

You should know your astigmatism too and it should not be more than 125 degrees. For those who have done Lasik, the pre-Lasik myopia should not be more than 500 degrees and your Lasik operation should be at least 6 months or more ago.

Quote:

Myopia of not more than 500 degrees and astigmatism of not more than 125 degrees, fully correctable with optical aids. Visual acuity of at least 6/60, correctable to 6/6. For candidates who have undergone corrective eye surgery (e.g. Lasik), the pre-surgical visual acuity should also meet the above requirements

4) You should bring along all your duplicate and original certificates (birth cert, O Levels, A Levels, diploma, degree, SAF certificate of service, etc). You may be turned away from the interview if you don't, especially for the more important documents.

5) There is a culture of courtesy in the company so just be polite, smile and greet everyone you meet.

Will your GPA in poly affect your chances?

Oct 22nd Lumut Batch

Hey guys,

This is the list compiled to date accurate to my knowledge. Pls feel free to highlight any errors. Looking at the numbers, its a good sign of SQ ramping up its recruitment and hopefully this will translate to shorter training time as well.

For those still waiting for a reply, pls do not give up. "hanging in there" is in my opinion the essence of pilot training! :ok:

Age requirements - SIA Cadet Pilots

Dear all,

Understand that SIA's policy on age is a minimum of 26 years old. I will be 33 by the end of this year and residing in Hong Kong. Applied on SIA's website and was rejected. Is there a maximum age limit? Or residing overseas will affect my chances?

Cheers,
MT

@zpliu: Hi bro...Regarding form80... we can get it from the aussie website... I had the same doubt.. It appears that the SFC people will be briefing us on this on the 21st.. so don worry about it.. ;)

@zpliu - Yup... joining in on the 21st as well.. won't be able to make it for the get together this Monday... so will see u guys on the 21st..... :ok:

Am fine with the meet up...

it might be the case that u are not residing in singapore. if u look properly, they DID state the following
CADET PILOTS (SINGAPORE)
PLEASE APPLY FOR THIS POSITION IF YOU ARE RESIDING IN SINGAPORE.

It is not true that you must reside in Singapore. The last time I checked, it states that the position is based in Singapore... not that you must reside in Singapore. There are many Malaysians who are SQ pilots too.
