I applied online. I interviewed at Helicentre Aviation (Leicester, England) in Apr 2021
Interview
Computer Based Aptitude Testing and then onto interview. A few personal questions and then onto some more technical stuff such as what would you do if your main instruments failed and you were entering cloud - they arent looking for a detailed answer just some common sense. Also things like, why Helicopters? Why Pilot?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Helicentre Aviation
Interview
Applied online. Offered interview at very short notice. Was told that if I couldn't come the following week my interview would be given to someone else... difficult when you have a full time job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview started late, 'on their watch'. Standard questions. During my interview I was belittled, saying how bad my grades were... why call me in to an interview? Very obnoxious people. AVOID at all cost. They were shocked when I said I haven't been in a helicopter... yet it was an ab-initio programme.... what do you expect? Tried to force me to book a trial flight.. all they saw were the $$$.
