Answer 1

If you go to Amazon.co.uk and choose 'Books', then enter Military Flight Aptitude Tests into their searchbar, you will find a number of them available. Here's just two:

Military Flights Aptitude Test: Everything You Need to Score High on (Military Flight Aptitude Tests, 4th ed) by Soloman Weiner and Scott Ostrow (Paperback - 1 Jan 2000)



Military Flight Aptitude Tests (CliffsTestPrep) by Fred N. Grayson (Paperback - 20 Feb 2004)

The following review was written for the first; 'I recently purchased this wonderful guide in preparation for the Air Force Officer's Qualifying Test (AFOQT). It provided me all the necessary information to ace the test. In fact, I scored an amazing 96 out of a possible 99 on the pilot composite. Remember, 50 is a very good score! Highly recommended for anyone interested in being accepted to military pilot training.'  (Hope you're good at Maths!). You may also be interested in looking at the forums on the sites below.

Fleet Air Arm - you didn't want to join the real Navy then?

Hi my sister was a helicopter engineer in the navy and was offerd the option to do pilot training, She turned it down can't remember the reason exactly but when she looked at it closely, she was better off for several reasons pay/promotion etc.. take a really good look at your options but if its the best thing for you.....
