Thanks guys for the help! I'm having my 1st round interview in Vancouver on the 31st.

Re:cx candidate
 

Same here have been waiting 6 wks for a date for stage2.

Maths
 

Hey guys,
Does anyone know if the maths test is multiple choice for stage 2 ab initio?

Maths Test
 

Maths test is not a multiple choice, u will have to write down ur answers on a peace of paper, brush up on your 1 in 60, climb gradient, stall speed formulas, part 1 is pretty simple (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication) but part 2 can be tricky.

Google88,
Thanks for your quick reply and additional information =)

Google88,

Thanks for the info! Do they provide you the formulas? Just in case if they changed the test, wanna see if i should remember some formulas.

By the way...anyone at the Regal Airport Hotel for Stage 2 tomorrow? I just checked in...

So they want you to know stall speed formulas even for the ab initio course

bond737,

Thanks! Wow, that's crazy, never learned this for my PPLs. They expect people with 0 hours to know this as well? :ooh:

So would this suffice?:

1 in 60
Width of 1 degree (NM) = DME / 60

Climb Gradient
Climb Gradient = Change in Height / Horizontal Distance Traveled
1 NM = 6076 feet

Stall Speed
Level Stall Speed
Vs = Sq. Root (2W / RSCL)
W= Weight
R = Density of Air
CL = Max Coefficient of lift

Banked Stall Speed
Load Factor = 1 / cos (angle of bank)
VsBanked = Sq Root (Load Factor) x VsLevel

VsBanked = VsLevel / Sq Root cos (angle of bank)

i have 0 flight hours.

if they expect me to know these formulas, im stuffffed.

Hi AsL402,

How long did it take you to receive an invite to Stage 2 after your Stage 1 interview?

I did mine in Mid-May and I haven't heard anything from them.
Just wanted to know the average wait time before sending them an email.

I know lucky86 waited for about a month as he stated in his earlier post.

Anyone knows about this is more than welcome to let me know! :)

Thanks in advance!

Maybe they have to start another programme, where the non HKID holders have to pay for the flight training but with a guaranteed job with CX .

cx stage one in Vancouver on 31st from ocanadaperfect
 

ocanadaperfect,

after the stage one interview,can you tell me what they asked and how did you prepare for it, cuz im interested in cx cadet program, too. i live in Vancouver,too


thx

No pay 2 fly..

The idea is only for non-HKID holders who whish to fly for CX..

Just paying a part (50-50 deal or so) for your training..

Not paying for the typerating..

Only for the flight training at Adelaide. Not the full price, maybe a 50-50 deal or so..

Got it?

_______________

Btw, I've heard that CX can't fill their classes with enough HK Ab Initio's.. Someone who knows more..?

That is already the plan to open the doors more for non-HKID holders.

Btw, I already knew that the HK gvt stopped this.

You should suggest this to Cathay, they may be impresses enough to let you be the first one.
