I had my interview, went ok I think.

I was asked how I displayed leadership/responsibility/worked in a team etc, basically what I wrote on the application.

Technical questions were about the plane that Ive hours in -how the engine works, the wing, and how the altimeter works.

Another question was to name four aircraft the Air Corps uses.

Hi guys, a newbie here. Got my interview on Friday. Wonder how many out of the 3-400 applications will make it past this stage? It's meant to be fairly similar for everyone, competencies - leadership, discipline/motivation, planning/organising, problem solving/decision making. Would that be right Joey?

Its broken into four: leadership/responsibility; technical apptitude; motivation; leadership. You'll get marked out of those four, for this years IAC cadet competition.

As for the failure rate, it depends on the board, they could decide 50% pass rate or 75%, or some other figure.
