View Full Version : Surveillance Aust. Interview Qu's
Hi everyone,
I have an interview with SA soon and would like to see who knows much about the SIM part of the interview- I am especially interested in which IFR approaches will most likely be involved. (ILS, NDB etc)
Your help with any other pointers would be great!!:D
I have had a look at afew previous post - but no joy on an answer to this question.
Thank you:ok:

Did a ILS and NDB adelaide on the sim at afts all done at around 100kts no surprises all straight forward and IFR questions asked nothing too hard. Decided in the end to go to Aerorescue instead better lifestyle based in a southern capital city.:O

I believe it's some upper air work, then an NDB and ILS. They're currently doing them in the Melbourne DH8 sim. Specific DH8 knowledge is not required.

They can plug just about any ils or ndb into that thing! what they want to see is you can hand fly an ils, and track out and then in on an ndb without busting any minimums or going out of tolerance.
Airwork will be the norm, steep turns, stall recovery, limited panel.
Its all good, enjoy the sim. good luck.
thank you all very much - awesome reply's
I have been out of Aus for 12months and I am flying in for the interview. I do not have an AIP handy to brush up of IFR min's and tol's and recency req's. Can one you guys please post what they are again?
Thank you once again

Online AIP is available at above link
The sim ride is on the DH8 sim in Melb, with a Cairns 8 Departure, followed by the NDB-A Approach then the ILS, Also a engine failure on departure at the end. Upper airwork is steep turns and a sector entry. You will do a circle to land off the NDB.

Great replys once again guys, and thanks for the link - I knew it was out there.
Dee - thank you for the SIM profile. I have looked at the Ansett Sim website and it says they have the Dash 8 Q series flight sim. My understanding of all this is that the panel is a semi-glass cockpit.
Is the NDB and ILS flown via an RMI ILS(analog) or ND (digital nav display).
(The older -8's have the analog and the newer have the semi-glass) - this is how I understand it all.

The sim, like the SAPL aircraft, has two EFIS screens, an EADI and an EHSI, and an analogue RMI. The HSI can be set up as a full rose so it looks the same as an analogue gauge if that is what you're used to. The ILS is shown on both the EADI (with an expanded localiser display) and on the EHSI.
