No. Some still awaiting.

New testing introduced for new recruits in jet. Compass test for induction in jet.


- VT-AVH

compass?
 

So, should a compass test just like Spicejet be expected or something different?

Yes, Jetairways Compass test is same as Spicejet, only addition to it is 30 Atpl level questions. Also they have added a personality analysis round (this is not an elimination round) before interview in which jet will assess your personality and use it as basis for interview round.

Hi Any idea where can I practice for it ?

Any weightage for type rated this time ?

I have been getting a few messages about the Jet exam. A lot info is given in this thread but I am guessing no one has time to sit and read.

Well this is how the written exam pattern has been for the past few exams since 2010 , 2011 , 2013 and 2014

You will have 5 papers on the day of the exam. All multiple choice OMR sheets.

Two Papers on Pilot Knowledge from the DGCA syllabus, Two papers on Non Verbal reasoning . One paper commonly called English test is actually a test of Critical Reasoning

* Paper 1 - Multiple Choice Test on the DGCA Technical General subject. If you want the oxford equivalent refer Principles of Flight , Power plant (both Piston and Jet Engines ), Airframes and Systems and Electrics ( yes Jet loves asking questions on Basic electricity like Ohms , Capacitors , Batteries etc )
Each correct answer will gain you one mark . Each answer you mark wrong you lose 1/4 or 0.25

* Paper 2 - The rest of the CPL Topics like Gen Nav , Radio Aids , Instrumentation , Flight Planning ,Mass and Balance, Air Regs , Meteorology etc. Just like Paper 1 each correct answer you will score 1 mark. Each wrong answer negative 0.25

*Paper 3 - Non Verbal Reasoning - This can be anything like Series , Paper Folding , Paper Cutting etc . You can practise this for free here
Non Verbal Reasoning Questions and Answers
Each correct answer 1 mark, each wrong answer negative 0.25

* Paper 4 - Non Verbal reasoning - SPATIAL ORIENTATION - This is test of your spatial reasoning . You can practise it here Cubes and Dice - Non Verbal Reasoning Questions and Answers
*** While this is a multiple choice paper, multiple answers can be right , all answers can be right and none can be right ***
So you have to choose very carefully.
This is also the only paper that where each wrong answer will score you negative 1 mark . Even partially right answers ( For Eg you mark 2/3 right answers ) will be counted as a negative mark
This is the paper you have to be most careful about

* Paper 5 - Critical Reasoning ( English Test ) - This paper you have to read a paragraph and answer questions . This is the only paper without NEGATIVE marking . So make sure you mark everything

As as with all pilot exams Time will be a constraint so answer what you know first and tackle the difficult ones later

Jet Airways does not allow flight computers or scientific calculators . So no difficult or long numerical problems. You can however expect basic numericals which you have to solve manually.



P.S - The above pattern is what Jet Airways has been following all these years . There is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever that they will continue to follow the same .Especially since they removed the GD and IPT rounds and introduced Psychometric tests as the next few stages. They are very short on pilots and can introduce something totally knew that allows them to expedite the process. Be prepared to expect the unexpected

Hi guys
That's a lot of information Cyrilboy,thanks for your effort and time.
I would like to share one info regarding Jet's future recruitments- there is yet another big change in the selection process according to a top official in the training Dept,Jet.The entire selection process is going to be a one day process and they will declare the results on the same day. So they have scrapped the previous selection methods obviously, so no GD, no IPT, no separate psychometry, No interview. In my guess it's going to be one comprehensive online test which probably includes everything.
All the best guys

Thank you for the information cyrilroy21

Hi all, I filled the form but I am getting error.
"System Processing Error!
Sorry Something seems to have gone wrong."
I tried it from chrome, firefox and internet explorer.
But same error.
Anyone facing this issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue . . It doesn't go through when all the fields are filled out.

Examination Date JET TFO 2016
 

Hi friends,
Any clue about the date of examination for JET TFO 2016?

Hey guys is it true that jet is now having compass test instead of verbal and non verbal reasoning

can anybody shed some light on jet airways comprehensive test .. please !!

Just as I guessed earlier Jet Airways has changed the entire process for TFO 2016

You now have to pass COMPREHENSIVE TESTING first followed by Psychometric assessment and Medical and Interview

This is what your email will look like

Cyril i got the same email . have a few questions though
it says "You are requested to carry all your original valid and current licenses, medical assessment, ratings documents on May 14, 2016."
what rating documents??
and about the comprehensive any idea how it would be?

@flyboy086

If you are type rated then bring that record as well

Since I have been getting a few messages regarding the COMPREHENSIVE TESTING here whats its going to consist of

For Jet airways you will face the following tests as part of the Comprehensive testing ( also known as COMPASS TEST which is used by SpiceJet as well )

1. Spatial Orientation
2. Mental Math
3. Multi Tasking
4. Short Term Memory
5. Pilot Knowledge test ( about 30 questions )

6. Advanced Flight Control Test

You can practice it here but you will need a to buy a one year subscription

hello aviators,
any idea when will be the exams for the other centeres (chennai/bangalore), please share your views.

hello
 

do we need current ir for jet tfo exam

@Quebec400
i believe since jet is conducting comprehensive test/compass, it will be held in mumbai only at jets training facility in andheri

@pooja25 they have not specified anywhere that current ir is a must.

Hey thanks for the prompt reply but they have mentioned in website that valid and current cpl,frtol,IR/LR.
So my query is do we need just IR rating on cpl or current ir.
Thanks in advance

Current IR isn't required.

thanks for your valuable feed back @flyboy86, eager to know what will be the time gap between one who finishes all formalities to the type rating ..basically how fast its going to be.AS i heard there is a huge Q ,

TIA

Good Luck guys.

Anybody who gave the exam today ?
Can you please share what was today's paper like ?

spatial awareness, multitasking, mental math, short term memory, basic cpl theory questions.
apart from all this there was verbal reasoning, and aviation english
and in the last advance flight control. stick n rudder and maintaining airspeed . that's it. hope this helps

thank you.. can you also share a few cpl questions ?

Is tech part of a CPL theory paper?

Jet does not need valid IR ( even though the ad says otherwise ) . The ad has been the exact same since 2011 and has no changes to it .

If you read this pprune thread from the beginning you can see that this has been discussed for TFO 2011 , 2013 and 2014. The ad always says valid IR but Jet has never required your IR to be valid ( no airline in India does unless maybe its a type rated vacancy )

@flexiflyer

You will need to download and install the Joybridge Air application . I believe you can download it here

Using Joystick-Latest Pilot Jobs

It might ask you to install Adobe AIR software


For everyone else , All rounds will take place in Mumbai itself irrespective of the location you chose for interview . The TFO application is an old one and the exact same they have been using for the last few years.

What is this joybridge Air application and how can I use my joystick for practicing the same? Is it going to be something like PABT test of the IAF ? The PABT test is actually very easy and I have passed it in 4AFSB Varanasi during my SSB. It checks your hand eye coordination and how quick your reflex is. The trick is that the sensitivity of the controls keeps varying all the time.

Can somebody please suggest that if you had a week of time to prepare for the TFO exam, what subjects and books would you focus on, related to CPL theory subjects ?

People have suggested Principles of flight, Airframes and Systems and Powerplant of Oxford. What else?

Thanks

Cool off peiod for TFO 2014 Batch
 

Hi,
Can someone please confirm if there is any cool off period for applicants who failed Interview or any other stages in TFO 2014 Batch.
I've heard HR Confirmed there is no cool off period, one has to apply fresh.
But then I also heard, there were few people who were denied to appeared for the comprehensive test on the day of exam, saying there is a cool off period for 3 months.

@Flexi Flyer

Hi, is the rudder pedal set up necessary for practising the Compass test. ?

no need to practice with stick n rudder for the complex task control, instead pay attention on the compass test and cpl theory

What's happening?
 

Hi everyone. I don't understand what's going on. I had applied for the TFO vacancy (both online and by emailing my resume) as soon as it was out. Jet took an exam on 15th may and I din't get a call.
I want to know if Jet is calling only selective candidates?
Secondly it is mentioned that that last date to apply is 15th may. So how did they take an exam on that day itself?

Will appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. Thanks.

Hello guys, i have a few questions , it would be great if someone could answer them.
1. when is the next batch appearing for their exam?
2. What is the next expected exam date?
3. And how many days before is Jet sending out mails to the candidates for their exam?

Don't worry guys you will get to write the exam, next batch's comprehensive test starts this saturday followed by other tests.
70 odd were called for the exam last week, some type rated directly appeared for the interviews yesterday, heard that type rated ppl will also have to appear for the comprehensive & psychometric test once they clear their interviews.
they probably will b sending first batch for TR in june guess

One piece of advice....everyone will get a chance to take comprehensive test...concentrate on studies instead of trying to knw wat jet is doing n will do in future

approx
 

hi guys ,
Any idea totally how many guys are going to appear ,
i heard because of huge Q (since only once in saturday) some candidates may get test next year according to application number..how far its true:sad:

did 120 people appear on a single day:?
