Hi guys, I'm in the process of choosing my A-level subjects, before applying to the RAF as an officer, Pilot primarily.
I'm looking at doing Maths with mechanics, (geared towards motion, velocity, physics etc), 20th Century History, Physics and one easier, lighter subject to drop after AS level.
I'd be really grateful for any advice from those of you who have been there and done it, cheers, T44

C/A, I was thinking a bit more specifically, what would be looked upon favourably, are there any to avoid or any that are absolutely necessary?
cheers

One question I am sure they will ask is "Why should the RAF invest £10m in your training?"..The questions is easy but the answers are not. What benefit are you to them? Why you and not another candidate? What commitment can you give them?..that I'm sure is just for startersWell ive got about 6hrs with the cadets but PPL is a bit out of the budget at the moment i think

Brush up on 'Internal Combustion Engines' (Fundamentals of how an engine works), the focus on 'Gas Turbines'/Jet Engines.
Dexterity is something you have to be good at, and also multi-skilling (very quickly).
Thanks guys, and I'll be definitely buying that DVD. Do the subjects I've said sound ok? Are there any ways in which to improve multi-skilling? Cheers

Do you drive? If so get someone to get in the passenger seat, and ask you certain questions as you are driving i.e. what was the colour of the third car that has just passed, what was the registration number of the car behind, things like that. At the same time, you give a running commentary on what you are doing etc.
Ok thanks very much I'll give that a go. Anything else I can do to prepare excluding phys?
