Pilot DLR tests
Hello everyone
Just been through the interview process for SunExpress and they want me to attend a DLR in Hamburg when they send their next batch of candidates. Heard the pass rate is not too crash hot either. Can anyone give some info on these tests and also heard there was a training organisation giving DLR preparation training either online or in Germany ...could anyone provide some info on this as well??
thanks

Hi
Thanks for the reply ... i have read most of the sunexpress posts here but no mention of the DLR components .. Some say that there is some training organisations that conduct pre DLR training or prep. İf possible im trying to get some info on this more than anything. i have had some one i know just do the DLR test phase but failed. i asked him for info but was very general in response...

Hello GF4RCE
Send me a PM. I live in Hamburg and I recently took part in the aptitude test that DLR conducts for Lufthansa's ab-initio flight training programme. So there might be one or two hints I could give you.

The DLR has published some iformation on the selection process, however not to much in English. So I briefly translated the most relevant parts, which you can read below.

"If you already hold an ATPL or are shortly about to be given one you will take part in a selection process for pilots (so called ready entries). The whole process will then comprise a basic examination (Ger. Grunduntersuchung) and a company specific examination (Ger. Firmenuntersuchung).
Part 1: basic examination
The basic examination takes one day. Tests for certain aptitudes will be done at computer monitors:
- knowledge of the English language (vocabulary and grammar),
- technical knowledge and physics,
- aeronautical knowledge,
- mental calculus,
- memory span,
- concentration and observation,
- three dimensional thinking,
- eye-hand co-ordination and multitasking,
- personality test.
Between basic examination and company specific examination there will be a simulator screening, which will be conducted by the airline.
Part 2: company specific examination
During the company specific examination additional aspects are looked at which are essential for the work for relevant airlines. The programme takes two days. On both days there will be cuts.
Day 1:
Dyadic co-operation test (DCT). A task to solve a problem, alone and in teams of two.
Behaviour orientated personality dyagnostics (VERDI). Two characteristics are looked at here, social competence and competence to act. This test comprises a difficult conversation, which will be held with an employee of DLR, and two tasks for groups.
Cut: if positive then day 2.
Day 2:
Interview."
