The best way to get an answer to this is just ask your bloody teacher, it's not that damn hard. Are they referring to you not being capable, or simply not allowed to take it because you haven't done it in prelim. I'm fairly sure it's the latter, in which case - bad luck.

Yeah, B.Tech is very advanced. Either way though, I don't care - you become a pilot either way.

That's General maths though, which is piss easy. Catching up on 2U stuff like Calculus can be tough if you're not willing to work hard.

You can do any degree at ADFA and become a pilot. From the ADF site: The following details Air Force requirements by Specialisation: * Aeronautical Engineer: BE(Aero or Mech); * Electronics Engineer: BE (Elec); * Armament Engineer: BE (Mech, Aero, Elec); * Airfield...

I'm a little confused. Your profile thingy says you did your HSC last year, but you're only turning 17 this year?

I'm in the same boat as you, but that's simply because I haven't given a shit in maths for prelim. There's no way i'm dropping to general, so it's obvious that I just need to work a lot harder - and I suggest you do the same. So really, if you think you can knuckle down and study hard - keep...

Thanks a lot, and no problems. :)

Of course you can still get 95+, you haven't done any HSC work yet. It'll be tough, but if you get into some decent study habits now and improve your test marks, then you'll be fine.

FSP is 13 days in Tamworth - 12 days flying, the last day is the OSB. As for keeping the missile lock - no more than about 1-2 seconds. It's really hard, since the control sensitivity changes, from extremely non-sensitive, so you push the joystick really hard to make it move a bit, then it...

It's two joysticks, no feet pedals. Basically, left joystick moves the circle up and down, right joystick moves it left and right. It just tests your co-ordination, how well you can keep a 'missile lock', keeping the circle over the target, keeping it in the middle of a shape which rotates, etc...

It doesn't depend on the degree, it depends on the job that you go into. For example, I could do a B.Arts at ADFA if I get a shit ATAR and still become a pilot, but someone else could also an a B.Arts and still become an ATCO. ATCO = 7 years IMPS, Pilot = 13.5. Big difference, same degree...

Agreed with everything you've said Tim. The ROSO (also IMPS) is huge, but at the same time, I seriously can't see myself disliking the role as a pilot, so 13.5 years is nothing major for me. If I was accepted as an ATCO instead of a Pilot, then i'd tell ADFA to piss off, since ATCO for 7 years...

Keeping the same subjects as in my sig, but dropping SLR since it's prelim only and Catholic Studies doesn't count towards the ATAR, so only 10 units.

Tetris

Even 14 is a lot, you should consider dropping a 2U subject. If you don't want to drop automotive, drop your worst 2U subject.

Yeah, drop automotive.

Hmm, that makes sense actually - thanks a lot. :)

Yep. I'll use RAAF pilot as an example. Pay & Allowances | Pilot | Defence Jobs Quoted from the link above:

Some jobs such as pilot take only a few people who are DEO, and many more who are ADFA-qualified. Lets face it - they like it when you have a degree. Basically every fighter pilot is ADFA-qualified, since only about 2 fighter pilots are taken a year - the rest are shoved onto transport. Also...

The case mangers always forget to call you, so you should make sure that you're on top of everything, and have everything organised yourself. Case managers handle 800+ candidates each, so you can't blame them for forgetting some stuff.
