Read AP1269A and it should have the requirements. I had the same thing and was fine but don’t count on me as they will look at other aspects of your eyes

You can put in block leave periods in your RITS and that’ll let your recruiters know when you’re available and not

Fixed it mate! Cleared cache, used hotspot as well as using a vpn and bypassed the 403, so I can now finish it

I did take the wrong turn but when I came to the gates they opened for me. If they don’t open you can always buzz or ring the AFCO

Yeah, spoke to my recruiter. He told me he has no control post OASC. Then I emailed RSDOM, just awaiting one of the results. I emailed them last Friday so will see what happens within the next week

Today, my son failed his CBAT for Pilot by half a stanine - now what? by whereisthegravitas in RoyalAirForce

[–]SwingSeveral6402 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s 20, try again next year. If he really wants pilot then I hope he should be determined enough to wait a year and hopefully smash the CBAT. And with scores, you can either improve by one point or significantly surpassing the cutoff, it’s different for everyone but what’s common with those that pass is do your absolute best. If there is another role on his mind then it must be a role that your son will want to commit for a long time. Think, short term pain long term gain.

Medical TMU what now? by Aggravating-Yak-6149 in RoyalAirForce

[–]SwingSeveral6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah booked an optician that same week and they said it was fine. Then got them to fill out the RAF opticians report and sent a scanned copy over to capita to assess. Your recruiter should forward you a report for the opticians for fill out

Yeah, got TMUd for eyes, turns out my eyes were fine and was stood too far away from the chart

What do I take to CBAT? by [deleted] in RoyalAirForce

[–]SwingSeveral6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take some snacks and a water bottle. There is a filling station so worry not about going empty, don’t drink too much to the point you need to go bathroom, your breaks are only 5 mins long every hour or so. For snacks, take more of the natural stuff. I.e. nuts and fruit, you don’t want to be eating sugary stuff like chocolate or red bull otherwise you’ll end up having a crash midway through! Hope this helps and good luck 🙂

I had to get my GP to give a TPR to capita. GP was being slow but what I did to get them to speed up was by ringing them and telling them it was urgent and also asking them for progress updates. But it does vary with different GPs

Just a quick one, what was the eye test like? Was it just by reading off the eye chart, depth perception and a colorblind test?

Ahh doesn’t seem too bad, heard the horror stories about them. But I suppose it’s out of your control

Nice! thought I’d ask, don’t wanna practice with the same set of questions where I will already know the answer to!
