This might be a bit outta date because my friend started flying for them some time ago and I cannot be sure of the validitty of this but here's my pennys worth anyway.After the interview he was called to the sim it was the BAC1-11 at Dublin.There was no autopilot and he had to do a standard Liffy departure then some general handling and after that he had to track a Vor back I'm not sure whether it was a non precision approach or a precision one.I dont fly for Ryanair so this information is just from what I remember he said to me in a conversation some time ago.I hope this is helpful its probably nearly true but as you know yourself they could use any of the sims at Dublin and any procedures they wanted.After the sim I think subject to company medical he was offered the job.My advice to your buddy is to hire out a sim for a couple of hours, know how to use the autopilot in it;but fly without it in the sim.Just spend a load of time going through sid and stars out of Dublin, maybe a couple of Holds and ILS's.It could end up totally different from what I've just said but if your mate can fly most of the procedures out of Dublin without autopilot he/she should be fine.Hope it helps and best of luck!!!
