dear friend,
i wrote their test last year and its all about the principles of an aircraft...how its flies...and anything you can lay your hands on about the operations of a helicopter.Learn how to label the parts of the turbo-engine,Learn about what happens when one engine goes out.
Also revise your elementary maths and english.
Then we were asked to write our state and local government one the script even the name of our community.
Wishing you all the best
@octopus...
thanks for ur post, it was most informing,
pls would u know how long the training lasts and what remunerations are like at bristow...
how chalenging and lucrative is the job...

Hi house,
The test consists of five sections, which are two essays, gmat, verbal and mechanical test.
Essays- First question is why do you want to become an helicopter pilot while the second question how do an airplane and helicopter flies.
GMAT- Learn the mathematics aspect then a little knowledge of your physics and dont forget to brush how to convert fahrenheit to celsius.
VERBAl- This has to do with aviation terminologies but they are still simple english like altitude and co.
MECHANICAL- The normal oil and gas mechanical question like gear and pulley diagrams and their where one will rotate to if the other goes in a particular direction.
Best of luck guys
@kemistriOriginally Posted by elowa
This guy has spelt it out for you. take time now and write out key points why you want to to become a pilot.
you need to present to them that it is something you desire,
you have the ability to stay focused,
ability to work under duress( tension, long manhours)
finally clearity and concise nature of your essay under 250 words.
The second essay test on technicality effect of force and which forces are required in the lifting off of a plane, and helicopter.
research on the effect of torque, and drag forces etc
for all those who dropped lines, i say KUDOS
thanks a lot brodas and comrades...
am sure a lot of ppl ll benefit from these ur posts despite the seeming silence...more info d still be appreciated regarding no of questions, time given, duration, negative marking or not, whether online or paper test and stages of test and interview

God bless u all real good!

Oneluv!
