Academically, you should have a Degree, Diploma or a full GCE 'A' Level Certificate; with passes in English, Maths and Physical Science at 'O' level.

Hi I got called up by RSAF today asking me to go down for a computerised test tmr. As I have asked them if it is the compass test, they replied no. So now I have some questions regarding tmr's test.

1. I'm a girl, will my chance of being a pilot slim? I'm 1.65m with perfect eyesight and holding a degree from NUS.

2. What is the test going to be about since it is not the compass test? They told me the coming up test will be the compass test but not the one I'm going tmr.

3. What attire should I wear and do I need to bring any qualifications or documents, they did not mention anything about it.

Thanks guys.

Wait for the pilot trainees to answer your question. Sry I didn't go for the pilot selection test cos I am not a pilot trainee =p

Fattyronaldo SG

Just had my compass today. Anyone else did theirs today?

Anshinkan29, sorry this could be a little late. but to your first question, you stand an equal chance as the guys. Clear your compass and interview and get in to OCS after BMT before they will take you.

Anshinkan29 SG

Oh ic, then may I know what is the IPPT standard for service women? We have to pass BMT before we can get in to OCS? And are we required to swim for basic training? I can't swim for nuts By the way, thanks for the reply.

Try looking at the following thread:

Blitztonic there says he got the standards from AOH 2007 so it should still be valid till today.Only thing I'm not sure of is as to what is the standard for silver/gold female ,combat/service voc cause as a regular,you got to achieve at least a silver in order not to impede your career advancement.

Yes,you have to pass bmt before you can go OCS.Swimming wise,I think they will give you lessons since you can't swim.

Look at the following thread for more on your concerns regarding swimming:

Just got notified to go for compass on 11th, hmm, may I ask what can I do to improve or ace my test? Getting quite worried since the test is 5hrs and heard its really demanding. =(

Ichiro89 SG

Ok before I answer Anshinkan's question, I'll introduce a litle about me.

I'm in poly year 3, Aerospace Technology. I passed COMPASS Test, PES A, interview on Friday the 13th (What a date lol).

For COMPASS Test, just gotta keep your mind focused on the task at hand. Keep your mind calm and dont panic.

The parts where you have to maintain the vertical and horizontal lines in the middle, dont let your mind wander. You gotta make sure you wont confuse your orientations.

There was this part about getting points by tapping the 4 different coloured buttons to get points in 4 lanes. Can anyone confirm whether it's tapping or holding on the button? I was the noisiest during my test and I thought I might have done it wrongly. =D

hmm. can anyone enlighten me how do i go about registering for a compass test? i'm gonna graduate and get my diploma in a few mths time.

i couldn't find the link or application form. ended up registering for the career one.

do i have to call cmpb? or can anyone navigate me to the site. ;D

when u apply for the career application, they will schedule u for the tests as they are part of the candidates selection process.

stared SG

oh okay. but just to make sure. im applying for pilot for NS. right?

stellazio SG

there's no pilot for ns.. its a regular job..

but u can go there, get selected, kick out of bwc and come back to serve ur remaining ns liability.

Rednano SG

but u can go there, get selected, kick out of bwc and come back to serve ur remaining ns liability.

ya... its a 12 years contract...

stellazio SG

ya... its a 12 years contract...

its more of like a 10 yr contract la.. since the first 2 years is spent in training i guess. and also the most fun for many pilots..

stared SG

well thats basically what i was asking. the career form SAF thingy is what most people do when applying for the 12years contract right? (2years from the start of NS to the 10year career)

so that means. before taking the compass test. this is the very first step that people take before sinking in to the 12years of service?

just to make sure i didnt go to the wrong place, can anyone direct me to the application site?

Hey Ichiro89, I'm scheduled for interview on 18th of feb' 09. All the best to you or anyone out there that's striving for fighter pilot.

Any more interviewees who finished interview? (pass or fail) Want to provide a few questions that might be asked on interview day itself?
