Hi Guys,
Its been a while but,
Laslo perhaps your 'mates' were lucky at the time, I dont know but I was told by the guys who were told no not yet, of course they could apply next month, next year, do you really think that FR are going to say no to someone who will pay them money, me thinks not.
The last I heard regarding the manual was that unless you do the ryanair course which is entirely on the -800 you must have 100 hrs on type before they will accept you onto the course.
Sucks for me.
Please dont assume that because it didn't happen to you they way it happened to others that they are wrong, it will make an ass of u and me.
Good luck everybody.

Hi to you all!
Although I still donīt want to get too excited about it, After millions of negatives, I just got called for an assessment next Tuesday in East Midlands! I didnīt expect them to call me and specially not with 5 says in advance! So I was hoping to get some advice from any of you to help calm my nerves down a little. Is anyone else going on the next 10th of May? How many assessments do they usually run per year? You think I could actually have any chances of making it through, or I will just be spending money and time? Where in Europe could I find some 737 200 /300 simulator time, apart from CAE in brussels? Any answers welcome!
Thank you

Cipri,
PARC Aviation in Dublin has a B737-200 sim and some instructors are from Ryanair. Don't stress too much about it - just be positive and be yourself. HR interview very relaxed. Technical interview - know the aircraft that you've flown last. Sim check - an hour or two in a 200 sim will do you the world of good. Did selection last week and starting type rating next week
. Hope that helps.
LATER!

I successfully did the FR sim check a little while back. It was tough, including an asymmetric procedural ILS. There was a mix of airline experienced and inexperienced candidates. Pass rate is quite low according to my sources, so I would very much recommend brushing up in a sim before hand, and the cost was Ģ252.
One excellent sim instructor I have used is Dan Brownie (+ 44 (0) 7947 007569, Ģ150 per hour inc sim per crew of two) who uses the 727 sim at Bournemouth. This sim has a very similar layout and instruments to the 737-200 FR use at EMA, so was very good practice.
The training captains who took the day did put you at ease and the atmosphere was very much 'we have got loads of jobs going so you are not in competition with each other - everyone who is good enough and works well together will pass' rather than ten competing for a couple of places, best two on the day wins sort of thing.
Cheers and good luck

Takes place in either an SP77 or an SP177 analogue B737-200, depends on the configuration of the sim on the day. All manualy flown from the seat of your preference.
Take off, climb out on a simple SID and level off at about 3000. Speed AC up and slow it down whilst maintaining height and heading. Steep turns whilst maintaining height and speed both directions. Then a few questions about QDM and QDR reference a VOR/NDB...ie what QDM/QDR are you on now. Then asked to intercept specific QDM/QDR.
Engine failure slow time and then into the hold for a procedural ILS to land.
Enjoy.......

Ibanez well done! Good luck with your rating! Where will you do the training? With CAE or SAS?
Cipri good luck on Tuesday! Profile of my mates was the same as ifleeplanes described, but they didn't do any assymetric stuff. As you may have read, some of them didn't get through, but most did. They are still waiting to be interviewed by HR though.

Flatbread,
Rating is an internal type rating at East Midlands. You will definitely get an engine fire followed by assymetric approach on the day - everyone got one, no matter what the experience. The sim is paused, however, when you do your briefings and when you set up for the approach. HR interview is on the same day (normally) as the sim check.
Good luck to all. It's such a pitty about the negativity that people have about Ryanair.

Hi!
It all worked out very smoothly and it seems Iīll be starting the course very soon, so thank you all for your help, although I still have my doubts. I am wondering if everyone that after having an assesment at EMA and successfully completing the rating, finally got a job, because the contract as I see it doesnīt assure you a job. I have now been asked by the SAS to fill in the application on the Ryanair site (the one you have to pay for) I canīt see the point in doing this after having passed the assessment and having been asigned a starting date. Does anyone know if this is strictly necessary?

Hi Cipri,
Congratulation for your assessment !
Can you give us a lil bit about it ?
Regarding SAS, I thought u should have apply with 'em before the appointment.
How did they get youre data though ?
and a piece of youre felling would be great.
Thanks lot.
Alfred

Well, i have completed the course, have my LST on friday. Although they do not garuntee you a job you initially recieve a six month training contract that begins as soon as base training is completed and ends six months later, although i believe it actually ends when line training is complete which can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months. After that as long as you are up to the standard you then recieve a full time contract.
Pay wise you start on second officer basic and half sector until line training is complete. I should take home on average Ģ1300 to Ģ1500 net a month then work your way up the pay scale as your experience increases.
The type rating course is difficult, it requires a lot of effort put in away from standard office hours. Ryanair is a help yourself airline, I (we) are expected to look after all our own affairs - Recurrency date awareness, medical, travel, roster, lunch etc etc. no one is calling me or ringing me making sure i know where i should be and when.

Hi Alfred;
Well the assessment was quite straight forward, they told me in advance how the check was going to be, and that's exactly what it was like, a SID, and then an Eng Fire and a 1 engine ILS approach. I didnīt manage to get some time on the 737 simulator before hand and although it would have surely helped, I found it quite "affordable" to fly even though I have only piston time. The Instructors made me feel quite relaxed about it, and that surely helped. The personal interviews werenīt intimidating at all. So I guess all this helped to make me feel as comfortable as you can feel in such a situation. By the way, Before hand I just sent my cv through the SAS.

Ryanair Assesment
I done it in July and passed. It's not to hard, a departure from EGGP on the WAL 2T departure, followed by tight turns both 30 and 40 degrees. Intercept a QDM back to the beacon, enter the hold and i got a engine fire in the hold. Shut it down and fly a raw data ILS back to Liverpool.
Hope this helps

What about RWL? They have a website for General Information B737-800 Type Rating course RWL/Ryanair?
Does this offer still exits?
And how many hours is the line training?
