2nd Interview
 

Hi Guys,

Good luck to all of you going for 2nd Interview on 14/15 March. Some general tips for the 2nd Interview.

Please have sufficient rest. The tests and the interview will be mentally taxing. During interview, substantiate your passion of flying. Like what you have done to pursue your passion so far. Just be yourself, be honest as they normally have a psychologist in the final interview to assess whether you are lying or not.

I presume that if you guys are successful, you will be joining the OBS on 24th March to Lumut. Hope to meet you guys during OBS.

Cheers
SLK

Hey guys,

Any heads up on the type of questions they'll ask? I've got a good idea reading these forums, just wana see if they've added more stuff...Also, how is the first interview conducted(i.e. how many interviewers there are etc)? I've got an aussie ATPL already so I expect some tech questions...

Moccajace -> Mines at 10.15am

Cheers!

Ohh forgot to ask, anyone know of a recognised medical examiner? I need to do a visual acuity and colour vision test..

Many thanks!

any clinic would do.... be it the neighbourhood clinic, or the polyclinic. :)

yap any doctor in any clinic who can perform the two mentioned tests will do and dont be surprised if the report is just a small piece of paper handwritten by the doc

Cool, thanks a lot!

does anyone know how many there are usually for 2nd interview? or rather, how many make it from 1st to 2nd?
also, i did the medical at ST medical on my own so if i get thru the 2nd round, will i still need to do the medical?

Hi kenny...ur pm is full...

oops sorry i just cleared it! :)

2nd interview around 10 to 12 candidates.

Not all candidates will be from the same 1st interview date.

Medical wise, yes you still have to go for the one arranged by SIA.

How much did you pay for your class 1 med anyway?

Hi ppl,

I'm also scheduled for the 1st interview on the 17th Mar 06.
Btw i have a qn. What if i went for PRK (older version of LASIK) and my eyesight deterioriates but still fullfill the SIA requirements of 6/60?? Am i consider as correctable to 6/6?

Wish me luck!

Hope to see ya guys soon!

hi rubber, i paid 350 if i remember correctly, i took it last oct. are u sure i have to do it again? cos its the same place where SIA will send the cadets to, and also mine is valid for a year

If your medical hasn't expired, you still have to go for it. However, the medical only consists of certain stations (like seeing the doc face to face). This is because once you have taken your initial (where you go to the specialists), you don't need to do it again. It's CAAS ruling where they will mark you off that you have passed. Since you have passed, go down, tell them about it. Most likely, as I said you might just need to go through several stations, or even none at all. But make sure they inform CAAS about you, such that your information will be submitted to SIA.

oo thank god or else it will be running ard again not that i mind! :P

Hey guys...

What do you reply to when questioned at the near end of the interview...
"Any questions that you would like to ask us?"

It's pretty convenient to just say "None thank you at this moment" to end the interview but just wondering if this is a good opportunity to pose good questions to end it nicely... or should we just shut up and leave before fumbling up? :confused:


On another note... was reading the Thinking Pilot publication and to my great surprise (well not really because he was really into aviation since young), saw the name of this young chap who used to be my neighbour... he's in Class 97 now. Wonder if he's in this forum... hi Yusuf! :ok:
