I hope you get in. You seem to be doing a lot of work in order to reach your dream. I have my phase 2 coming up in september...not long now eek. I've really been concentrating on my maths. This is due to FTE sending me a revision guide with their email saying that I should revise this that and the other. I see that you are going to Jerez to sit a test with them also. Is the CTC math test much like the FTE revision material? I'm guessing that you have got the same material sent through. Getting really excited about it now...only 3 more weeks.

I then went onto getting a BSc in aeronautical engineering. The kind of questions I have done in my interviews have been long division, multiplication, time calculations ( all without a calculator) and the PILAPT test you can't really practise for it. Through the test you get 3 goes at most of the sections and the purpose of the test is to test your ability to learn, so on each go your score should go up :) Have a look on www.pprune.org for more peoples aptitude test experiences, and good luck!

I had a look on ctc wings site, i couldnt find it but im 99% certain you have to be at least 18 years of age for these schemes. I don't think they'd like to send a 16 year old to the other side of the world! But certainly send them an email ask a few questions and register your interest with them. The selection phases apply for ALL applicants, they want to be sure to only take on people who have the right attitude and aptitude for training and eventually working. There are a few other schemes popping up, i shall add a post when i find a few :) thanks for the comment :) Hi there, happy birthday when it comes!

The maths is simple mental arithmetic. you get a pen and paper to work through it. its basic stuff like currency conversion and working out how much fuel is needed to flyi for a certain time. The other part of phase 2 is computer bases PILAPT test. It starts off simple enough but the last test is really quite something! The PILAPT tests include, deviation, pattern recognition, adaptive tracking and being able to tell if the man has a certain shape in a certain hand or not. The final part combines 3 of the previous parts you will have done in the test. I went to Phase 3 @ Bournemouth but was unsuccessful :( Just waiting on getting feedback so that I can improve for the next time, which is another year away. Good luck with your Application!

Well done on passing. I've just qualified for my Phase 2. I'm about to book myself into a March slot. Can I just ask how was the test? I've searched high and low but can't seem to get a definitive answer about what the test is like. Is it just like your normal numbers and verbal aptitude test or something more orientated towards piloting? Examples would be great! Anyhow, good luck with your Phase 3. Regards, Terry Hey!
