Hi there,
Thanks for your question.
Regardless of the qualifications you currently have, you would still need to attend and pass the AAC pilot selection tests alongside other applicants. Having prior flying experience will be helpful as you will already have a good knowledge of rules of the air etc but it is not a shortcut to passing the selection.
I hope that helps answer your question. Please let me know if I can help further.
Take care,
Maddie
