How far along are you in the application process? Did you talk with a recruiter yet and was there any concern over your age?

I divided 130 by 52 and you get 2 whole divisions, hence the 2 hrs. ( 130 - 2(52)) is the remainder. 130 - 2 (52). Multiplied 52 by 2 because 52 goes into 130 twice. 130 - 2 (52)= 130- 104 = 26. 26/52 = 0.5. Total time is 2hrs + 0.5 hrs = 2.5 hrs.

What would be the most effective method of approaching something like this? Realize the fraction from the minutes. What speed covers 21 miles in 2 hours and 20 mins? 20 mins = 1/3 hour. Adding total time = 2(3/3) + 1/3 = 7/3 hours. S= D/T = 21/7/3= 21 * (3/7) = (21/7)(3) = 9 mph At 5 mph...

Absolutely. Practice mental arithmetic, TSD calculations and I would also recommend the SAT/ ACT portion that involves TSD. Practicing general SAT type math questions ( TSD, algebra type problem sets), in fact, are tricky and force you to really understand what is being asked. This translates...

You have to get comfortable with using numbers that dont produce a "clean" number to work with. This will require rounding, usually to the second decimal place. Practice your mental arithmetic. There are many free sites available. The problem sets featured on the TSD website for RAF officer...

Soooo...Im not the only one  :ninja:

You can also go to Khan Academy if you are looking for an explanation regarding a certain topic. From my experience, elementary problem solving using algebra was tested during the math portion. Khan Academy provides numerous instructional videos that simulate the tutor/ teacher experience, minus...

    Yes, I was just making light of the situation. When you say that pilot selection from recent years has increased for those having passed ACS and the medical(s), is that because of the different testing used in recent times? In other words, do you think the computer based testing nowadays...

    I know that this is a music thread, but Nate Diaz surprises the hell out of me when I think he is going to lose. Wanted him to win against Cerrone, thought he was going to get killed before the fight, and he puts on a striking clinic. Against Conor ( first fight), thought he would be put...

Just wondering if TSD stands for Time, Speed Distance? I dont remember doing this test during the CFAT testing. It was followed by some psychological, computer test/ questionnaire. I did come across various Time/Speed/Distance calculation problem sets at Aircrew Selection however.

Approx 46% positions remain open for PLT as of today's date. Approx 33% positions remain open for ACSO as of today's date. Approx 25% positions remain open for AEC as of today's date. Thanks for the information, greatly appreciated.

Good day BuckHRA, Would be interested to the know the number of remaining spots this fiscal year for Pilot, ACSO and AEC for DEO and of any known up coming selection dates. Thanks

Thanks MarioMike.

Good day all,     With regards to selection, offer and BMOQ start dates, after accepting an offer are you notified of when you will start a BMOQ course or can there be a waiting period where you accept an offer for a given trade and are unsure of when you start BMOQ.?

    If successful at ACS, you will still have to undergo all the other steps, including standard medical, interview and pilot medical. Also, if successful at ACS for pilot, you will be subsequently measured ( height, seated height and some other body measurements) and weighed to determine your...

    I am familiar with the Helmets to Hardhats program through a friend. He joined the reserves towards the end of high school. Dont know how many years he spent as a reservist, but is now an Elevator Mechanic Apprentice working for the Local Elevator Mechanics Union through such a program. He...

Interesting.I would expect that the contract length for returning aircrew would be less than for ROTP, DEO and CEOTP candidates without prior military flying experience in such cases.

Thanks for the information guys, really appreciate it and this community. This question came to me in the shower and I dont ever think I came across such a topic. Lets suppose you complete pilot training, get winged, moved to an operational squadron and carry out the length of your contract with...

Thanks for the information nearp. Its a bummer that I likely won't be loaded on the January 2018 BMOQ course ( my targeted start date) and my process from application to BMOQ start date is extended by at least another 3 months. On the bright side, it represents an additional 3 month opportunity...
