Hi Roland1234.

The assessment was pretty easy going.

First day we had interview(very easy going and short), then couple of computer test. Psychological test(2 statements that you had to choose which fits you best, or if both wrong, which one was the least wrong)
Some kind of joystick test, approx 20 ATPL questions(what will happen if you try t/o with ice cont both under and over the wing, you descent from 37000ft to 7000ft, how far will you go approx in still wind,you loose press at 37000ft, how long time do you have(or something like that), whatīs left of the rwy when the rwy lights turn red...), some simple math questions but no calculator allowed. You only have a paper and a pen.
I would refresh how to divide not using a calculator, there was a question "whatīs 368567 divided by 11? or something like that....
You get as much time to prepare as you want but for the math calculations you only get 20min.

The second day was the simulator, B737NG sim. If you are type-rated for the 37 they cut one engine but if not you are to fly a dep ex Shannon to an NDB, intercept a QDM to another NDB, some steep turns, intercept the QDM again and enter a holding. Then you get cleared for an approch and you fly ILS and land. We were allowed to use a FD.
The assessor will be in the right seat as an FO.

Hope this will help but you get a lot of xtra info if you search the forum

I was told by pilots downthere that Arik is building a compound where all pilots are to stay at, but they donīt know when they will be moved there.
