Hi girls/guys,
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to the information listed in this thread. All the info you need is indeed hidden within the thread.
Things that will come in handy:
1)Ace the pilot technical interview
2)Go to latest aviation jobs, and get the interview preparation. It contains a lot of useful info on the whole process, well worth it
Now onto the main course
The examiners were fantastic and did their best to keep us all relaxed. No "funny" mind tricks during the interview or simulator. All questions were straight forward as was the sim assessment.
HR questions:
Why Ryanair?
Why did you study (at university)?
How did you get into flying?
What did you like/dislike about your training?
How many alternator in a Pa28?
Technical questions:
Sweep angle of 737
pfd
nd
fma
Define density altitude and differences with pressure altitude.
737 engines
jetstreams
Convergence
Seminole, seneca - electrical systems
Simulator
T/O:
Leed Bradford rwy32
Non standard departure, maintain rwy heading then left turn xxxdeg, climbing xxxft ect. Flight directors were on.
Enroute:
Flight directors off
General handling, accelerations, decelerations, turns onto specific headings.
Cabin fire when I was flying.
Declare emergency and request to land back at Leeds. Discuss with PM! do not forget to ask for QRH. Hand over control and set the aircraft up for the approach. At this point the examiner may freeze the simulator and ask you where you are.
return to beacon following specified QDM
One more test of situation awareness. No holding required.
Approach/landing:
Leeds Rwy 32
Cleared for full procedural approach, no radar vectors available
First time given a NDB, localiser (gs out)
Repositioned for ILS rwy 32 with landing.
Switched positions and similar for the other guy.
I don't know if I have been take on or not, but thought of sharing some info regardless. Best of luck to everyone
