Lady law graduate aspires to be a pilot with Cathay Pacific?

Written by Capt Lim, on 05-04-2007

Published in : Pilot Career, Female Pilots

Dearest Captain Lim,

Thanks so much for taking the time to put together such a wonderful website. I will stop complimenting since your time is very valuable.

I applied to the Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot program, and I will be going to the selection process soon. Here are some of my questions:

1) I graduated from a very good University in the United States. However, I majored in law. The last time I had touched Maths was 6 years ago. Should I review my Maths?

2) Regarding the aptitude test, I read from your website that it is about hand, eye, and feet coordination. What is a good way to practice? Will playing video games help?

3) What are some of the things I can do to prepare for the 1st and 2nd stages?

4) Do I have to study Physics and the entire different plane before I go to stage one? What about, how the plane works?

Thank you so much? I really appreciate your help? :)

Pauline

Hi Pauline,


1. Yes, you should review your Maths if you think you are rusty in this subject.

2. Yes, playing video games help but there are a lot of software around in the market to help you. Try this one
here.

3. Please visit my Cathay Pacific Forum
for some resources on Stages 1 & 2 of the interview.

4. You have to study Physics and know about planes together with some basic knowledge on aerodynamics. You must also know the principle of flight ? most of which can be found in my site and FAQ.

I wish you all the best! :-)
