Rishworth Aviation is the reason. When I got hear I found out they had lied to me during the recruitment process. Since I got here, every dealing I have had with them they were not just dishonest, but outright liars. I watched my roomates with Parc get things sorted out within 24 hours. Rishworth would answer your email, but only after 4-7 days, hoping you would forget, or just go away.
The last straw was Rishworth, not Vietnam Airlines, unilaterally imposed a pay cut on us. In the end, they will lose a lawsuit in their own hometown and the pay will be restored.
I don't want to work for them anymore. Unfortunately there is a non-compete clause that does not allow me to just jump contractors. I have to go away for a minimum of 1 year.
The job here in Saigon is really good. Just avoid Rishworth. They are absolute scum of the earth.
Parc seems to be the best. DPI is second best, but they underbid this contract, driving down pay rates for new pilots. For that reason I would go with Parc.

The best place to get them is to download it off a website which is listed on the bottom of page 2 of this thread. Huaxun Technology Limited ----HOME. Click on "guide for crews". Left side everything is downloadable.
Good luck to you. And to me!
Good luck to you. And to me!

O.K. so I have been studying for this Chinese ATP. For those of you who have taken the test recently I have some questions. If I understand it correctly there will be 100 questions. 80 of which will be taken directly from the FAA ATP question bank less performance. 737 pef. from the FAA and CAAC bank and Air Bus from the CAAC bank. I understand that the FAA questions are verbatim.
I am reading some conflicting information on other websites and this one about this test that state that there may not be 80 FAA questions. They may be mixed 50/50 or some other combination.
Is the test 80 FAA questions and 20 CAAC or is this a random thing?

the test questions for your test are sorted and spit out.. no two are alike. there are 10 to 15 questions that you'll have no idea taken from the CCAR manual.. also, i got three airbus W&B..just guessed..I'm boeing...I passed...the guy next to me failed...in my group one of 3 passed.. in another screening I saw recently, 2 of 4 passed.. study test abnk and you'll be fine, but know the performance stuff out of the gleim ATP book. if you don't, they may be the tipping point. good luck

Booking ATPL exam.
Hello, just wondering how one would go about booking an exam date? How much is the cost of sitting the exam?
Will be visiting China in June and July on holiday, will be mainly in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Also what are you allowed to take into exam, ie. calculator, flight computer, rulers etc.
Thanks.
Knox.

Hey I like your location "south of the North Pole". Reminds me of a funny story.
I was flying SFO to Frankfurt in a 777 middle of the night and the Capt was a TRE. TRE's being what they are, he just had to show me he was smarter than me. We were 76N in Canada. He says: "hey have you ever seen this?" He types NPOLE in the fix page. It comes up 180 deg for 973 nm. He says "wow, check that out. Right now, we are due south of the North Pole" I leaned over with a huge smirk on my face and said "Sir, we are always due south of the North Pole" You should have seen the look on his face. LOL

To partially answer your question, if you are interviewing for a job i believe the test is free the first time. After that, I believe hove to pay something like 12 USD to take it again. Taking it on your own? don't know if it is possible, or just 12 bucks. I have no idea.

Hi Everybody,
I just took the Chinese ATP and got an 84, 70 is a pass. I studied intensely for 4-5 days about 6 hours per day. The 1500 question bank on this forum will be the bulk of the question banks, you can access this on the Huxan website or Hainan website. I had about 50 questions verbatim then about 10 questions with similar concepts but made you think in a new context. I had about 15 performance problems and 3 weight & balance questions which I just guessed at all three as I saved them for last and I knew I had passed by then. The Airbus 320 W & B grid chart and 2 737 questions. Most of the questions were 737 performance but 1 Airbus Gross Driftdown Chart and 1 727 v ref speed chart. There will be about 5-6 Chinese Air Law and history questions which are difficult to study for. A few of the questions I remember are:
PIC under 100 hours weather mins. for landing.
B-737-300 to 400 is difference training
List an additional alternate if weather is marginal
Trailing edge flaps with a slot increase the stall angle of attack
2 questions on what is included on a Surface Weather Chart
How much radiation can you be exposed to 5, 50 or 500 units?
Medical for PIC is every 6 months
To apply for an ATP you need a commercial or commercial & instrument license?
If you discharge an ELT for so many minutes it must be recharged, 30mins, 45 or 60?
The Aviation Forum in China is under the Central Party and the Chinese Military, who has jurisdiction?
Who can issue a license? The regional office or both the CAAC and the regional office?
The big R on a Radar box on an approach plate definition, radar environment?
Fuel requirements for alternates, several questions both domestic and international.
Hourly flight time limitations in a week is 35
Just study the 1500 bank and know how to do all the charts and graphs and you should get a 75-80. A hard test but put in the time and it is very passable, good luck! I think 15 in the test group and 14 passed it that day.

Hi, you cannot book any CAAC exam without a Chinese Airlines offer, when you are told that you can attend the airlines screening, the airlines will arrange each exam and the airlines will pay the exam cost.

I just took the test today with 2 other expats. 78,77,74 were our scores. We all had wildly different tests. Study the question bank and the Chinese ATP book (very bad, lots of errors). One guy used Gleim as well, the other two of us just used the Chinese ATP guide.
Good luck

FO with FAA/JAA frozen ATPL have a different process, you need to basically do the CPL, IR and ATPL exams all 3 of the written exams, plus any simulator or flight tests involved. I reccommend you get your full 1500 hours and get the full ATPL before entering into china, after that its just basically the ATPL written and Sim test.
