TFA Screening Procedure

Welcome to the TFA screening procedure. Concerning the sophistication of the whole pro-cess of screening, some tips and notes are for your reference and convenience.

We would be happy if it offers help.

The total screening process includes four parts, which are • CAAC Medical Check,

• Theory Test, • Simulator Check • ATP written test

The most important part is the Simulator Check. If you question your current proficiency, we suggest a practice session before the test.

If you need any help, please feel free to contact us. We will go all out to help you. Sincerely yours
