Hi guys!
Delighted to have received the good news today
My contribution to this topic now :
I started with the sim.
EGGP 27 WAL2N
Amended clearance, straight ahead until 3DME, right turn hdg 360° , climbing 4000ft.
Some GH exercices with climb, descent, acceleration, deceleration, turns.
Position fixing with QDM/QDR from NDB
Radar vectors and ILS 27 to land.
A bit harder for my partner : the beginning was the same, and after the position fix the radar became unserviceable => holding and alternative procedure with sick passenger (Fly/Navigate/Communicate, Transfer Control, DODAR + NITS).
HR Interview
Just 25'
- What do you think about your Sim session ?
- Why did you do your training in UK?
- Why did you do your MCC with Simtech?
- Weaknesses?
- Why should we hire you?
- What do you know about Ryanair?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- Do you have friends working for RYR?
- When can you start the TR?
- Can you pay for it?
Technical questions :
- Questions about my job (I'm sales engineer working on a project with renewable energies "what kind of thermal devices? Heat pumps ? okay tell me more" etc)
- Let's pretend you're on the ground at Marseille, 40degrees outside, how do we cool the 737-800? (I talked about electricty generated by APU supplying packs etc.)
- How to heat the cabin during the cruise?
- Xwind calculations
- Feedback about my flight/school and instructors
Then a long and nerve wracking week to wait for the results!!!
Good luck to everyone, again give your best and stay positive, they need us all!
PS. the day before the interview, I've booked a sim session with Upilot (dublin airport). They have a simulator based on the 737-800 and really nice & skilled instructors. For a very reasonable price, you will become familiar with the cockpit, power settings and pitch attitudes to remember, and practice some SID/STAR/APP and emergencies. (in my case, that was EMA27, so very helpful for the real assessment!!!)
The controls are lighter than during the assessment though, but anyway flying the aircraft should'nt be a problem as long as you know where to find the informations in the cockpit and are prepared for any situations. So go for it, you'll be more confident

Was your sim East midlands EGNX , or Liverpool EGGP @eeesprit? And also did your SIM partner complete a self position to land R27 after the hold?
Many congratulations on passing the assessment and also many thanks for sharing your experience with us all here who it will help a lot I believe.

You're welcome, this topic was really helpful for me so I'm glad to contribute as well
My mistake, it was East Midlands EGNX !
And yes absolutely he had to find his position just after the beacon outbound on the alt procedure!

Is anybody no longer able to edit their base choices? I know it does not mean anything but why are some people able to edit theirs and others not!! Anyone shed any light on the madness of selection haha!!
The guys who have been called, were you able to edit all your information right up until the call? I know this has been discussed alittle before but would be very helpful to get the thoughts off those who have actually received the call to assessment.
Regards,
SAR

I haven't been able to edit BASE CHOICES since the initial submission. Is that not the same for all? I thought the only issue some people had was not being able to edit TOTAL HOURS, LICENCE EXPIRY etc.
