Huge Request for help

[Albert Plunkey]

I have an appointment for a sim eval on the Dash 8 300 in two weeks.

From reading, there is an engine out and an engine fire simulation ...

Can anyone give me the checklists for the above to prepare and more importantly give me a cockpit layout diagram or photo?

I promise to drink copious amounts of things starting with Glenn in your honour if you can help.

If I didn't have the sim ride so soon I'd be drinking right now ...

Strangely nervous,

P

ps. Email is [email protected] for anyone kind enough ..

pps. If you're from Nigeria and have 20 zillion in gold tucked away that you cannot get without my help, thanks but no thanks

For Photos of Cockpits I find the best place to download them are on Airliners.net.

Cheers

No need to worry about a emergency checklist, your sim partner/evaluator is your PNF and will run the checklist as per your request. So no memeory items for you, just fly the plane, keep it under control and fly the approach in, not too difficult, just relax.

Best of luck

Hey Albert Plunkey,

"Brav Zulu" on your upcoming sim eval. Try and get some rest before the ride. "I know, I know, easier said than done." As Slowstream mentioned, use the PNF to your full advantage. Think crew / team..yadda yadda. This is a two-crew machine,(front end) and a beauty to fly. Your efforts will be rewarded.

Permit me to ask you a favour. When you sucessfully complete this "trip in the box", please have a couple beer for me. Let everyone onboard this forum know how much "fun" you had (sic), and we'll do our best to have one for you!

You'll do fine...


Regards

Bill

As everyone said you will have to fly the plane, the PNF will run the checks. Calls will depend on company SOP's so I am sure they will not kill you for getting anything like that wrong. Here are some rough numbers that work nicely for the 300 sim for power settings. I could give you a rough version of calls too but you should not really need them for an eval. Also obviously these are rough numbers and may have to be adjusted slightly depending on conditions but should be pretty close for 0 wind gross weight.

Follow Up

Thanks for all who replied - I really appreciate the advice.

I did the ride Monday and walked out of the sim feeling like a total prat. I didn't crash or blow the ILS but my altitude holding was creative to say the least.

Apparently my CRM was acceptable because I passed the eval and have been hired.




Anyone going to do the 300 eval in Toronto who would like a more detailed outliine of what to expect feel free to email me.
