CX Stage One 1a
 

Hey guys,

New here to, applied and invited for stage 1a
Seems there is a lot of information here, but what do you need to know for it? Sorry if I'm obviously repeating the question

Thanks in advance!

chc.1989, One of the lads mentioned it before. When you reply back to confirm your attendance for teh 1a, they will provide you with the cathay pacific aviation knowledge booklet in pdf form. Which includes topics such as :
Air Navigation, Principles of Flight, Meteorology, Engines and Aircraft systems, to name a few.

There will be a technical mcq on this book. Followed by a compass test.

If you want to study before receiving this booklet, simply google up "PHAK", this goes into far more depth than the aviation knowledge booklet they provide you.

When are you taking the 1a?

Apparently there's a whole free 2016 version PDF of it on the FAA website. That's kind of handy.

http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...t_handbook.pdf

Thanks for your response! I was wondering if there is other useful information on the 1a in this 300 pages on this topic, that's why I asked.

Also, what is there to be prepared for the compass test?

My 1a is scheduled for august, and you (guys)?
All the best,

SO-AB Initio initial Interview
 

Hi Guys, I read that most of you have got through the first stage. I have my first stage in less then a month. If anyone can pass me some tips and share their experience. Please direct message me here or you can contact me through my email [email protected] or even whatsapp 55001359. Any kind of help will be really appreciated.

chc.1989

The multiple choice questions are pretty much all in the JKI booklet, also there are some choices for some questions that vary little, but they are looking for the exact same phrase as in the booklet.

The only thing I felt missing from the booklet is maybe a bit more on meteorology and the weather.

Also you should have some insight on Cathay's fleet, which can be found on their website.

The Compass test is pretty straight forward, tests your ability to multitask I guess. If you drive or play any first person video games that require you to be aware of your surroundings it will be cake.

There is a math section that requires you to be able to do some basic trigonometry and division of big numbers. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward.

Thank you so much for your response, this is exactly the kind of information I need, detailed but yet reassuring.

Have you done it recently maybe? How did you do?
All the best,

Hi mate,
I passed the TT final interview on the 19th and 20th of Nov 15 . Initialy, my starting date was May, then august 16 and now Jan 17,
The delay is due to the industrial action and the training ban,
Hope the situation will get back to normal soon !
Did you get some updates recently ?

How many questions are going to be in Technical MC questions ? Plus do i need to study all of the booklet in order to do well or i can just go through the main points ?

Plus my 1A is in on August 10th, if anyone else sharing the same date, please whatsapp me on 55001359

Anyone having stage 1B on 26/7? would like to meet up to do mock interviews with each other. Please PM me, thanks!

Hi flymetothesky
May I know if you're applying for CPP or AE?

re: @FlyCX

For stage 1a, you can take a look at Pilot Test

you just need to study the booklet and do the compass test.

The website is about 90% close to the actual test.

chc.1989
No worries, you should be good. Am currently going for 1B on the 26th of July, so trying to get as much studying and reading as I can.

Congrats man, Job well done. Hope you can be on your way to training sooner than later. Also did you already do the flight grading?

As mentioned before, there are 50 multiple choice questions. And yes, you should study the whole booklet. It's only around 60 pages....

Thanks for replying.
How much time would be given for how many maths questions ?

20 mins should be.

Yes. let us prep together lol haha

Unfortunately there is a rumour going around that the August start date for AE guys will be the last one for now. From then on AE and TT courses are on hold indefinitely. I don't know if AB initio is affected. I assume this has to do with the training ban and DEFO decision.
