Im applying this year for the second time. I think it usually starts around mid to end of january!

Also does anyone know when the next stage of the recruitment process will begin after the applications are sent in (roughly)?

Is it the start of march or april?

Ronan,
you will find it very difficult to get sample aptitude tests to practice. theres no way you will get them off parc aviation!
when i did the aptitude tests for the aer lingus trainee pilot scheme-i was unsucessfull so i innocently emailed parc to see if i could buy sample tests off them.( it was worth a try)
i cant remember their exact response but she basically gave out to me for even asking. your best bet is to search on google for sample tests or check out a few bookshops-they sell many books on how to succeed at aptitude tests.
best of luck.

Thanks for the info alpha foxtrot.
Could you give me a few examples of what other activities an air corps officer would be involved in apart from flying?
Seems like a good interview question to me + i wouldnt have a clue if i was asked,
Cheers

Hi,i have a few questions im hoping someone will bw able to answer, im wondering does anyone know of the dates these will be held on(roughly)
The order:
1. Prelim interview in Baldonnel
2. Aptitude test with Parc Aviation
3. Second aptitude test and interview Parc Aviation
4. Fitness tests and medical Baldonnel
5. Final interview Baldonnel

Also, when you finish training in the curragh and the flight training in Baldonnel, what happens then?
I understand that you would be posted to an aer corps unit, but do you have any choice which one? (ie helicopters or planes)
How many hours a year can you expect to fly?
Apart from flying, what other duties can you expect to be involved in?

Any replies would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
