EMA assessment and interview
This is just a quick update on the Ryanair EMA assessment and interview process for low hour cadet pilots, as I had mine last week.
I applied through the SAA website 3 weeks ago and was contacted v.quickly to arrange an assessment date.
The assessment itself consisted of a sim check flying the CPT3B departure from RW26 at Luton. Once the SID was complete we did steep turns at 30 and 45 degrees angle of bank.
Tracked back to the LUT beacon (no emergency to deal with), a quick hold then the NDB/DME procedure to land RW26. Role as PNF was simply to monitor the PF and alert him/her of any deviations.
Interview was fairly relaxed talking about career history and around six or seven ATPL theory questions on met and air law.
Heard within 30 minutes of the interview that I'd passed. All in all a fairly painless process.
Good luck to anyone else applying.
