A few advices

Hi all,
For SIM practice I've been using lots of hours in a Beech King Air 200 sim for speeding up my crosscheck. On FS I used Wilco's 737 Classic series.
Best SIM tip from the day (I you have no jet experience):
Don't get tempted to lower the nose on the horizon. 3-5 degrees pitch up at level flight (at the speeds and the TOM at the assessment) will be somewhere right.
Remember from theory that it does take som time from throttle movement to airspeed change (either way) and do remember that the engines are underslung so that a thrust increase will give you a pitch up moment. Getting "behind" on speed requires large thrust input.
TRIM and keep clear of the big wheels
Best technical interview tip:
Don't ever sell your ATPL theory books and keep reading them.

Br.
