If you pass pilot selection before going to Sandhurst, do you have a confirmed place in the regiment?

No, unfortunately, that would no be the case.
The Army Air Corps does not offer sponsorship or cadet status. Like any other prospective cap badge/ employer, the Army Air Corps are looking primarily at good officers. So the individual's performance at Sandhurst is absolutely critical in whether 'we' offer a commission or not.
We do advise individuals (only if they can) to complete flying selection and grading before starting at RMAS purely so that they don't then have to do these events whilst they are there.....
Hope this helps.
