But what surprised me, is that while I was hand flying (in this case flying the climbing rate 1 turn to reach a certain altitude and heading at the same time), I was handed a clipboard with piece of paper and expected to hand draw the hold, sector entries and locate myself in relation to the hold location. The reason I wasn’t successful? The fact I didn’t do the drawing in under a minute, that was according to the HR girl
Just the point of the OP's post which stated: "Operators need to apply more thought and logic when designing simulator assessment profiles. At present we see candidates that have good instrument flying experience and all the attributes required of an airline pilot, yet fail a simulator assessment that is often thrown together and illogical in design."
