Cargolux medical check
 

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what exactly to expect at the medical check for the cargolux assessment? I read the whole thread(and web for that matter), but no details to be found....:confused:

Appreciate all input!!

Thanks!

Hello Hans,

Have you already been for IBF test or something else before they gave you "rendez-vous" for an interview in may?
I would like to know the selections process as dr Schwan is now gone...
My status is still ready for IBF for more than 3 weeks now but no news from CLX


Thanks everyone for you reply!

Ok thanks for the info! ;)

Good luck!

Anyone received recent invites? Applied a year ago and told application was awaiting a yay or a nay and had not yet been reviewed due the massive amount of people in que to be looked at. Have the GSS lads and lasses been taken on? See ppjn still says recruiting.

Cheers!

Does anyone know how many pilots are screened each month?

Currently only applicants with positive test results are hired. Since Dr Schwan is not working with Cargolux anymore the recruitment process is on hold. They have to come up with a solution soon to keep up with the present pace of 6 new pilots per month. They will continue this amount at least until the end of the year.
The average failure rate is about 80%, so 30 candidates per month is a rough number of applicants going thru the process.

Aeromedical center
 

Hello everyone,

The selection process at Cargolux changed from IBF to Aeromedical center in Holland.

Any one did the assessment there? There is no information on internet about it.

Greetings,

Ridinghigh

Also I am looking for info about selction done by aviation medical centre called gpss.


Thx!

Why not just call them.

Calling
 

I did, but they said you can not prepare for it. I have a PDF file which shows you all the tests, but there is no software available.

Hi there.

Got an email stating that my application has been changed to "ready for assessement". Does anyone know the timeframe now until assessement, will it be weeks or years?

Regards 1975

Hi guys,

also got the email today stating I am 'Ready for assessment' and that I will be contacted for an assessment appointment during the next weeks. Just have to wait I guess...

Riding high, would you mind sharing this PDF file with us?

Anyway, if anyone has some news, info or whatever, this would be highly appreciated!

Thanks and happy landings.

You can find it on the aeromedical center website :)

Dear All,


I am invited for the second round of selection next week.


Does anyone have fresh information about group exercise, interview and sim screening? What questions can I expect during the interview? Is it personal questions or technical?


Would be highly appreciated!


Kind regards,


Diper79

Hi Diper 79

Congratulations. Do you have an update on the first round?

Kind regards

Hello Diper 79,

That´s great news! Congratulations for passing the first round!

I don´t have any information about the second step but would be very happy for any details about the first step ;-)

What can I expect and how did you prepare for it?

Thank you very much.

Cheers

New screening
 

Hi everyone,

It's seems to be difficult to get info on the new screening process. Since it's so different from the old one, the 'screening-info' in this thread isnt of much use anymore. :ugh:

So I would like to ask everyone who has undergone the new selection process, (1st and /or 2nd round) to please share their information on it.

Many, many thanks to all!! :ok:

What!? More info please:ooh:

Really??????

Nope! That's ground staff only! Pilot hiring and training will continue.

I got my final confirmation and info package sent from AMC today for the assessement in Hoofdorp in late august, hope that will not be cancelled?

@1975,

Out of curiosity, are you being screened for Cargolux or Cargolux Italia?

I would be surprised if recruitment has been put on hold.. More aircraft will be joining the fleet soon and everybody's flying more or less flat out already.

Good luck anyway!

Thanks Indrapeora, for Cargolux

Cargolux second step
 

Good evening to everybody.

I would like to ask, if anybody has some details about the second recruitment step in Luxembourg?

E.g.
- Will there be some group interview, assessment and what will it be like?
- will the interview be only with personal questions or technical questions as well?
- what will happen in the simulator?

Thank you very much for your information 😊

Cheers
Morane

Hi Morane1981,

could you be so kind and give some details about the first step?

Thank you very much:ok:

Kind regards

Is there any news about the hiring stop?
Does anybody know why this is? Maybe they can't follow with the training?

Still invited to the first round of assessment in Holland. Would appreciate any experiences so far!

Thanks a million

AMC assessment
 

Day starts at 08:45.

Whole day of computer test consisting of math, diagrams, English reading test, long term memory test, multitasking, basically any test you can think of is in it.
You will have a lunch break (don't have to pay for it). You can give yourself small breaks between test.
Somewhere in the day the psychologist comes in and you go for small talk (30 min) in the office, at the end of that you'll be given a case study and get 10 min to prepare. This play is done with two psychologist (one is your role play partner, the other is observing).
More test until the end of the day on the computer. Day finishes around 16:00/17:00 depending on how fast you go with the tests.

Result of the test is given 2-3 days later and gives a full report of your performance and at the end of it it says whether you meet Cargolux requirements or not.


So now, does anyone has information on the second round? Highly appreciate any info on that.

Regards

I did the first stage today, last post describes it pretty much. Friendly atmosohere, but a loooong day :)

out of interest...what kind of math was involved?

could you elaborate on the sections a little please? :)

1st round
 

That's exactly my experience as well.regarding maths it has been math wording exercises. You are allowed to use the Microsoft calculator and the desktop text field most of the times. It makes sense to train to use that before, as it is very different to the use of paper and pencil. It takes more time and time is very limited of course!! In addition there are 100eds of psychological questions which you can only answer by yes or know or where you have to decide between a statement.
All in all a very relaxed and good atmosphere !

Good luck to everybody

2nd round
 

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience Bart!
At least someone is sharing on this forum!
Bart, did you prepare yourself? If yes, how, with what software? Thanks.
As far as the second round goes, from what I've heard from a guy that just got in (a month ago) you 'll get an interview with the chief pilot or some high raking equivalent monitored by a psychologist. Questions at the interview are general ATPL knowledge, more specifically the part A and your actual aircraft systems and limitations knowledge.
Then there is another group exercise monitored by psychologists (not sure if this one is part of the first round or second round though...)
That's it... If you succeed in there, you'll head for the third round which is the sim...
Good luck!
Regards,

Chewy

How did you prepare for the first stage? Skytest?
Thanks

Hi,
so no atpl questions in the first round?

Thx for all the informations:ok:

No ATPL questions in the first round!
No explicit English test as well, as everything happens in English anyway.

Thanks a lot for all the information:ok: How did you prepare yourself for the first round? Did you use the skytest? I try to do some different cbt's.

Cargolux details requested!
 

Thanks so much for your report!!
What kind of Role play did you get?

Cheers!!

Cargolux details requested!
 

And what is specifically meant by 'Part A'? I didn't do English ATPL....

Thanks!

Do You need to have european citizenship or right to work and live there to apply? They dont mention this on their requirements like other airlines usually do

Has anybody with a positive on requirement feedback heard anything from Cargolux about the next steps so far? Waiting for awhile now and was wondering whether its just me or the whole recruitment process is on hold for now. Feedback greatly appreciated, thanks :-)
