Angel Flyglobespan LHS Assessment

Hi Guys,

LHS assessment at GECAT usually takes the form of either a B737 NG or -300 sim check conducted by one of the senior GECAT trainers/examiners.

The format is similar to the old Britannia initial jet assessment.

Expect basic raw data flying in compass rose or expanded VOR display modes, over a triangular route with standard departure, cruise and descent profiles focusing on ADF and VOR tracking at nominated airspeeds for climb, cruise & descent etc.etc. plus steep turns and general handling exercises

Expect an NDB hold a short notice and perhaps an engine failure in the hold usually on the inbound turn to the beacon. Thereafter procedural s/e ILS and go-around and perhaps a non precision approach as well.

Focus is on good communications, CRM, recall and QRH checklists, more importantly focusing on prioritisation, use of all resources available and the acquisition of all available data and options etc..etc..... All pretty standard stuff as they say..!!!

It's not as easy as it sounds though.. good preparation is a must...!!! best of luck..!!!
