There ARE la bro but question is: Will getting a PPL really give you an edge over other candidates? There are cases too where candidates with PPL or even CPL did not get through.

 

Do you meet the educational and physical requirements (eyesight in particular) ?

 

If yes, congrats, good chance. My advice would be to read more with regards to aviation, follow the news a bit and of course, SIA's progress. With regards to flying lessons, go there to have a good feel to what flying's all about. It will also give your confidence a boost if you do not feel airsick and are able to control the a/c to a reasonable degree. This shows that you have aptitude. Some of my friends went to elite for a few lessons (about 10) and subsequently, they were all accepted by SIA.

 

Do take note as well that going for flying lessons leave the interviewers with MORE things to ask. They will ask you questions like how you go about doing a pre flight check, how do you recover from a stall, how can you recover from a spin, what's the difference between a stall and a spin. Basically questions relating more to flying because you have some sort of flying experience already!

 

Last but not least, if you have a PPL, that will account to some reduction in flying hours in Jandakot, Perth. Oh well...too complicated to explain now, will leave that to another day alright?

Good le! Anyway, my advice (if you have the spare cash), go fly a few sorties and see if it is your cup of tea. Keep us posted!

Not sure le bro. Personally, never done it before. As far as i know point whiskey mainly for RSAF low level flying exercises. Sinjon wise....can definitely request to track direct, whether ATC will give it to you or not...that's another question. Probably can look up AIP for more info relating to point W, etc..? My 2 cents.

 

Probably can ask retro and sylvestercat too!

A320, depend on configuration i suppose. It's usually for short range services so i guess the range should be about 3000nm (~5800km). Exact range can be looked up from airbus webpage. If you really interested in the career, why not? Come and have a chat with management again then!

 

Out of curiosity...did you get to the 2nd interview?

Some challenging questions were asked cos i working for US aircraft engine OEM ...hehe...747 uses them
