Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I wonder what it depends on, I mean 1st, 2nd, 5th, and they all wanted that category? And also good to know on the aircraft. I was more curious as to switching from say multis to helos for example? Anyways, thanks again and any other thoughts would be...

I was curious from personal experiences how many pilots get their first choice of stream (i.e multi/helos/jets) after Moose Jaw and what variables really go into this? Also, if guys, or girls, aren't in their first choice does anybody ever put in for a change of category after their first...

I'll tell you that I had the same questions in my mind before I went. They're just nerves man. Listen to what Flatspin said though. Do a search on it and you'll find the common theme in that the machine is looking for how you correct, not over controlling, etc etc. They stress that it is NOT an...

Hey, I heard it actually right off the website. Here is the quote. All Officers of the Canadian Forces will take this training.   Phase I. Basic Officer Training: Upon selection into the Pilot occupation, you will be enrolled in the Canadian Forces as an Officer Cadet and will then proceed to...

Hey guys, so my CT went through and im good to go for ROTP Pilot, going to IAP this summer either June 27th? i believe or July 4th? i think it was. They didnt know which one for sure yet, but any other guys on here in the same deal? I believe the course to be 6 weeks too eh? Chris

No no, I would never try to sum you guys up. Math is crucial, agreed. But the answer to the question was all I was stating. Thanks guys Chris

Just relaying on a stress-reliever bit of information for people. I agree with you however Short Final, dont get me wrong, math is extremely important.

For the record, the writtens are for Navigator only. Everybody writes them. But Nav only, do NOT count towards pilot selection. Plain and simple. So no more discrepencies.

Do they count toward pilot selection?

Dumb question, but are the written exams at aircrew selection only for Air Navs or do pilots need to review highschol math as well. Im leaving tmmrw so Im sure I could brush up tonight and tmmrw night in Trenton, but I was under the impression that pilot is hands and feet only. Thanks guys Chris

Good advice short final, a positive attitude means every difference in the world. However back to my original question of the hard and cold rules, it seems the answer has been given. Well that being said I guess Ill hold off the CPL for now. Thankyou again. Unless anybody else has any further...

Ok thanks. I was told by an MCC that once you have your PPL you fail it for life. Which seems kind of harsh. So I am a few hours and a written exam away from my commercial license, basically, would it be wise for me not to send in my paperwork for the license until I finish CAPSS? As currently I...

Couldnt find a previous post to this question. If I have my Private (soon Commercial) Pilot License, and I flunk the pilot portion of ASC, may I retry again at a later date? And does having a Private License vs. a Commercial License matter in terms of redo eligibility? Thanks

It really all depends on who you're competing with. Yes a 80% average is definately competitive, but as long as you have lots more on top of that. Im not a recruiter so you probably want to talk to one of them.

Agreed. Mentioning that "it is not that hard at all"..serves no purpose but to boost your self esteem and/or lower that of the applicant who was unsuccessful. Not a good characteristic to have in the CF. Just try'er again. This is also why it is an aptitude test. You can only study to a certain...

Just a note on this, I was under the impression that your CFAT scores are not discussed. How did ZxExn know he was second highest? Im suprised they told you this. Another note, as was told to me by a recruiter, was obviously, your GPA scores are only as good as who your competition is. Just...

Thanks guys. I think what I was trying to say was blown out of proportion. Its just how these forums seem to go sometimes. True, you cant tell me how to kick a soccer ball, but you could tell me when I kick the soccer ball if it goes in the goal I score a goal, if not, I dont. But..anyways. All...

True enough! Thats good advice thankyou. What gets me is how these guys with commercial licenses fail? Do they simply not listen to what they're told and 'do what they're used to'? And well, the fact that I get one shot at this for my career at ASC, do or die, Im not wound up, but it would be...

Well for example, who would likely be more successful at CAPSS, a 747 Captain who keeps everything stable but 20' below assigned altitude, or a teenager who is new to flying but is continously trying to go for +/- 0' but varies between -100 and + 100'?

Well Ive been browsing through everything for days now on Aircrew Selection. Some great stuff on here. But I am wondering what reasons people do fail ASC? Especially people with alot of flying experience? Is it perhaps a syndrome of "I know this already", or perhaps being content with leaving...
