Introduction<\/span><\/p>\n

Notice: Starting 2019 the selection process will not be same as below<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi guys before I tell you about my assessments. Firstly you should know that I am a 2016 SPM Student which I used my SPM results in 2017 to apply for this Cadetship. I have no any family members or background from an airline industry so this is all my effort and my passion. (Sorry In Advance If There Is Error In My English)<\/p>\n

How I Applied?<\/p>\n

It was April 4th I was scrolling down the Facebook posts and saw one of my friend shared a post regarding this Cadetship. At first I wasnt really interested to apply. As I know Air Asia’s recruitment is one of the hardest but still I applied for it.<\/p>\n

I applied using my SPM Result:<\/p>\n

Thats me and my twin bro…was featured in paper for scoring straight As together<\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of this post I Have attached a link for your preparation. Which is fully sufficient for your preparation. All the links and past interview questions <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I received an email immediately stating that they have received the application and in the process of reviewing my qualification against their current requirement.<\/p>\n

See here for the requirements:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was pretty sure that I had no problem with their requirements, and exactly after one week of waiting I received an email from the recruitment team to get ready for the Entrance Exam which is the Stage 1.<\/p>\n

If I am not mistaken, Out of 7500 Candidates,\u00a0 approximately 150 Cadets were selected. So Its not easy but it all depends on your credibility.<\/p>\n

The whole recruitment process consist of 5 Stages:<\/p>\n

Stage 1:\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 Entry Exam
\nStage 2: \u2013 Harrison Assesment
\nStage 3: \u2013 Panel Interview
\nStage 4: \u2013 Psychometric & Psycho-motor test
\nStage 5: \u2013 Loan Briefing & Medical Test<\/p>\n

STAGE 1<\/span>– Entrance Exam<\/h3>\n

This is the stage where most of the candidates are kicked out.Its a written exam for four subjects Maths, Physics, and English(MUET).So for English, it is actually a muet paper where you will given three passages and you have to answer based on the passages, this part is known as “Reading” in MUET test. I find it was tricky because I was confused between false and not stated but dont worry all the test are MCQ( Multiple choice Questions) and for the second paper was Physics , it was just basics where you have to do calculations. Just go thru form 4 syllabus and you will find it easy and for those who left SPM long ago I would suggest for you guys to get a physics book . It was easy because the paper was mostly “Simple Physics” Eg: Bernoulli, Pascal Principle, Density and few calculations but no formulas will be given. So for the last paper was Mathematics, and for this test you are not allowed to use calculator…So Be prepared to do mental calculation. Personally I felt English was the HARDEST and after one week of waiting I received an email from Air Asia saying that I passed Stage 1 and to get prepared for Stage 2 which was the Harrison assessment ( HA).Last But not least, the passing mark for all these papers are 75%(Based On The Email).<\/p>\n

STAGE 2<\/span>– Harrison Assessment (HA)<\/h3>\n

This stage is the part where they will analyse or identify your character whether you are suitable to be a pilot or not . This is a computer based test and for the preparation there’s nothing much. JUST BE YOURSELF. As soon I reached AACE We were brought to a room where you can see rows of computers and you will be given a id and password to login. In this test you will be given few phrases . For an example: “I love driving” “I like to do jobs that involves the usage of my hand” “I like working on computers”<\/em> etc. You have to rearrange the phrases that are related to you on the top and rest put it at the bottom. Different phrases of the same meaning will be given so do not CHEAT. The system will know and it will repeat. This session last for about 20-30 Minutes. Just follow the instructions given by the invigilators and it was easy. So the key is, be truthful and don’t challenge\u00a0 (AI). So after two weeks of boredom I received and email stating that I have been shortlisted for the interview. This was the most exciteful moment.<\/p>\n

STAGE 3<\/span>– Panel Interview<\/h3>\n

Personally I think this was the hardest part. Where you will be interviewed by 3 interviewers a captain and 2 HR or 2 Captains and 1 HR. Its all based on your luck. So for this stage if you already have knowledge on the Air Asia and Avionics itself then its fine but if you are a newbie I would suggest you to do a full research about this company Eg: CEO’s. Subsidiary Companies, Fleets, Destinations, Latest routes, Call Signs, and etc. Also do some research on latest aviation news because I was questioned on that. So I gained some tips from the previous cadets from an online forum Called “FLYLA” ( The thread has been deleted) but in my opinion the interviewers question you based on your introduction and your personal background. So from this FLYLA\u00a0 forum I get to know a really friendly and helpful guy, Tan 18 from Johor ( Also Known As Turtles). So most of the time I would throw some questions to him and he would do the same to me and we learned most of it by mistake and had a lot of fun during the preparation.The funny part was both of us learned to draw the air-frame(Structures Of An Aircraft) from the day one and the bad news was the panels did not tell us to draw.<\/p>\n

This is his blog, So feel free to read it and his is much more interesting and fun to read:<\/p>\n

Yusry’s Interview Experience (Click Here)<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a wonderful Whatsapp group where we generously shared a wealth of invaluable information, which I can assure you, proved incredibly beneficial. Our enthusiasm for preparation might have even bordered on excess, yet this approach, albeit thorough, is far preferable to facing the interview unprepared. Such interviews introduce you to fellow candidates, some of whom unfortunately didn’t invest as much effort, and a few merely attended for the sake of gaining experience, ultimately without success.<\/p>\n

Allow me to offer a piece of advice – honesty is key. The interviewers possess a keen ability to discern authenticity. While I jest about pulse-detection devices in chairs, it’s your body language and facial expressions that truly convey your truthfulness. Exuding confidence is paramount, considering their knack for evoking responses.<\/p>\n

My questions were mostly technical & hard:<\/p>\n

Introduce Yourself
\nDestination (listed about 35)
\nFleets and Difference
\nRudder Aileron
\nWhy is landing gear retracted after take off?
\nCan an airplane fly without retracting its landing gears
\nWhat is the latest weather that affected Air Asia ( Screwed This Part)
\nHow far news is important to a pilot?
\nWho are the partners of Tony Fernandez
\nWhich AA subsidiary company operates A321NEO ( Tricky Question ,The Ans: None)
\nWhat do you know about AA
\nHow AA operates
\nDifference Between Engines(Airbus)
\nHow Reciprocating Engine Works ( In Detail )
\nHow Gas Turbine Engine Works ( In Detail )
\nExplain how the NEO engine is Fuel Efficient
\nWhat is the function of ECAM and the further procedures
\nAir Asia Main Aircraft and Fleets
\nType Of Engine Used and their Differences
\nSituation about Engine Failure
\nHow would You handle stress
\nTCAS,Sidestick,ECAM
\nWhy do you want to be a pilot?
\nHow far Air Asia have Succeeded?<\/p>\n

AA= Air Asia Berhad<\/em><\/h4>\n

You might think that these questions are pretty hard for my level, So the key is just be prepared and answer but if you don’t know just say so and don’t try to be a smart ass.<\/p>\n

I was able to answer all the questions perfectly except the news part. So don’t take it easy, this interview is not like what is similar to JPA or MARA Scholarship interview. It is one of the hardest selection around the globe.<\/p>\n

My interview lasted about 40-45 minutes but I felt like it was about 10-15 minutes. NERVOUS!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

These are the top 3 books I read for an extra knowledge for my interview. I also told them I read this books which showed my enthusiasm . I also read 4 more books which I prefer to keep it private and confidential to avoid third party problems.<\/em><\/p>\n
