Hey bud congratulations on passing the AFCO.

I just had my psycological aptitude tests today and got a "comfortable pass" - I wish they would tell you what score and the pass rate needed was!

Got my AFCO booked for a week Friday, the 28th, which is a little sooner than I expected- I'm away in a conference all this week with work and then going to Newquay for the bank holiday weekend for my girlfriends birthday so won't be back til next Monday!

However I've already done a fair bit of preparation so hopefully should be able to cram some in the few days before the interview. Believe me - I would rather it not be like this but I didn't want to decline their offer!

Any news on your FATs yet? Good luck! I'll let you know how the interview goes, got a feeling I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up! Any tips for it?

The Interview went well thanks! My ACLO was happy enough with my knowledge and released my forms which I sent of to the AIB, so now all I have to do is wait for a FATs date. I really should have put up an entry, will have to do it soon!

I don't have any questions at the mo but if I do it's handy to know your friends actually been a pilot and so his answers wil probably have more depth to them than my ACLO's.

Similarly, if you have any questions on the psychometric tests give me a shout and I'll do my best to give you a heads up on anything you're not sure of. Keep me posted on how you get on and good luck!!

Hey buddy, just read through your blog, how did the interview go?

I'm also applying for the navy pilot, not so far in to the process though -I've got my psychometric test next week.

Keep me posted, it'll be handy to have someone to discuss things with! I've got a friend who's been in as a chopper pilot with the navy for the last 3 years so if you've got any burning questions I'll see what I can do - though he's often away on duty and can be hard to get hold of!
