Sure thing. I got accepted so I can finally breathe again with a normal bloodflow I will post my experience and some experiences of my mates.

Personal/HR questions

  • What do you think is the most important part from the MCC
  • Why do you want to fly for Ryanair
  • Did you apply to other airlines
  • What do you know about Ryanair
  • What are your weaknesses/strengths
  • How did you finance your training. How are you going to finance your TQ
  • How would you react to a younger captain

SIM Assessment

I will summarize this if you don't mind. Feel free to PM me in order to call/email/skype or whatever.
I was placed with 2 others (there were 7 that day so 2 groups of 2 and one of 3).
Our assessor decided that I would be the first PF and my friend (other Dutch guy) would be my PM.
Basically we got a departure plate 3 hours before the sim session and you get a lot of time to prepare this. I checked every route I could fly and even set some radials just to make it a lot easier.
Your assessor plays ATC. So no questions regarding what to do. Just use normal ATC communication.
ATC: Ok, depart from Rwy and make a right turn to intercept 290 outbound. Cleared to 6000' (trans level).
After this he gave me plenty of time to brief the departure. Setting the communcations, emergency briefing(Before V1 when I call stop you close the levers, after V1 we continue to 400' than state failure bladibla)

Ok, take-off and turn 290 outbound to 6000'. Then when leveled off he asked me to keep the plane steady. He really helped me although I had it under control (annoying if you ask me but ok).
ATC: Make a right turn till advised
Turn right and after approx. 200 degrees he said to increase bank angle to 45 degrees (ignore warning)
This steep turn took 540 degrees and than he asked me to roll out on heading 090.
ATC: Continue directly to NT and your cleared for the ILS/DME/NDB approach
Time to brief the approach and set everything. Easy approach so fast briefing (Jeppessen chart) and done. Overhead NT turn left to intercept.
ATC: Your cleared to land on rwy... (forgot :P)
Land...

Done!

Sorry for the bad writing, but Im at work and can't really focus :P
