Can anybody give me some tips on good questions to ask?

@210482fmj most likely yes, not sure though, I know that you get weapon training in case you have to eject

Could anybody tell me what the minimum for functional reach is please?

are pilots still be required to fight with ground troops if required or if you are just a standby back up pilot e.t.c. Airplane in wars often get grounded for sometimes long periods or even totally written off.

@blondebrit100 Sure, find an aviation aptitude book and study it. Learn how to multitask, a lot of the tests involved multitasking, spatial reasoning, memory and hand eye coordination.
I remember it lasted 6hrs and there were minitests focusing on a different skill. The first test you held a joystick and had to keep the dot in the crosshairs. Then the controls would switch to opposite. Then you also have to use a foot pedal as well. Also speed distance time questions were included.

@1sick93 Thankyou very much i appreciate your help.
Do you have any advice about preparing for them and then advice for taking them?

@blondebrit100 Yes, back in 2006, I was going for Flight Observer in the Navy Fleet Air Arm. I failed it miserably. You can get aviation aptitude revision books that will help. i just didn't have what it takes. I'm currently working hard to get my weight down to join the U.S. Army. If you have any questions let me know.

call me a cynic but i think a lot of that is scripted. The RAF looks for a certain amount of individuality in its officers, not mindless automatons!
