How do I show that I have a first time pass on my ATPL-theory subjects?
I have only got a diploma from my training organisation and a letter from the CAA that I have passed it.
Will CAE/OAA/BRK/RYR call them and check it themselves or will I have to forward a protocol of some sort with all my results? how was it during your assessment?

DA42 Interview Questions Anyone?
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anybody that has done or is to do their FR assessment and trained on a DA42 has a crib sheet with the information and fundamentals of the DA42.
I know they like to ask lots of questions abouts your previous aircraft and any form of summarised crib sheet would be much appreciated. I have the AFM, but its taking whats relevant that seems to be the killer part.

Hello
I have a terrible doubt ,the same as you have .I applied one month ago on OAA site and I attached my CV as required.
it is written on the site that the candidate must have a school report to apply.
Do you know if I had to send them a copy as attacheed document or not?
I did not , I 'd just written the details on my CV.
I would appreciate that one the the people who received the phone call for the assessement told me which documents He have sent with the application.
Thanks a lot

Do not worry when they phone you, the will request you everything they need, by the moment only wait.
Anyone would like to meet on 2 November when finished the assessment? I've it on 3 so we could change your impressions.
Thanks.

Hi there all,
I know that many other guys asked the same question but I try anyway. Is it possible to know at what stage is the application? Did anyone call OAA or CAE to know if the application was received and when to expect a response for it?
And if the possibility exists, who did you call?
I applied a month ago via OAA and heard that normally it takes 2 weeks to get an answer (I know that it can take up to months as well) but no response yet.
Cheers guys

I suggest you submit your application to both OAA and CAE.
I never heard anything from OAA (even though i did integrated course with them). I then sent an application to CAE and it took about 2-3 weeks before they got back to me and got me an interview.

Hi guys,
I did this assessment the 28 of September, i'm a bit late, isn't it?
Got a phone call 2-3 weeks later,
TR the 9 of January, still looking for someone to share a flat/house in AMS by the way hehe...
I guess my feedback would be very usefull,
My background:
- A-level with honors followed by 2 year technical degree in computer science,
- Cabin crew job at EZS + dispatch job at Dnata
- FAA PPL + Time building, San Diego. ATPL theory CPL-IR-ME, Bournemouth, UK. MCC, JOC, Oxford, UK (b737).
- All ATPL exams passed first time, CPL first time, IR partial then pass.
Assessment: (the facts only)
- Very kind, nice people there...They really put you at ease. I've had a very good feeling to be honest!
- Interview was short, 10-15 minutes. They did ask: How does IRS work? (hard i thought). What is dihedral?. The opposite?. Navigation devices on board? (IRS, ADF, RMI, HSI, ...you know what i mean, i don't remember exactly the question)
- What if you loose your medical?. 3 bases?. What would you do if Cpt says in cruise, if not visual at DA, i'll land anyway because i'm tired?. A situation of conflict in your job?. How much costs your training?. How would you get the money for the TR?. Introduce yourself?. (should be at the beginning by the way hehe). 3 qualities you have?.
- Sim, IMPRESSIVE. To be honest i don't really remember. Was short i think. Smoke/fire cabin. CRM CRM CRM first. We both had ILSs to fly. No big deal. Some steep turns, climbs, descents, basic stuff. We did a non-std SID by the way, even easier!!
ADVICES: (TO PASS THIS EXAM)
- Be calm, don't stress, be yourself...Ok, i tried, that's bull**** you won't be calm i know...loool
- Don't spend time reviewing your ATPL, it does not make any sense, just read ACE, to know what to expect! I read it 2 times, took some notes, check from time to time my ATPL...
- It is absolutely A MUST to do some sim beforehand...i did 4 hours in Gatwick at PMFlight, on the same aircraft. They know exactly how to prepare you for that...
- Smile, you should be well-dressed as well, shaved, extremely important!
- Learn the damn sim vertical profiles by heart. So that you can practice the day before in the sim at PMFlight hehe!!
- Review your CRM, calls, ect. Don't miss the important calls during T/O, Ldg, ...80Kts, V1, Rotate, ...
- Before jumping in the sim, everything should be clear with your partner, how's gonna handle thrust levers, ect...
- If you do a mistake, don't panic, i did some but they know you are here to learn...
- Try to review quickly emergency procedures with partner, the sentences you would say ect. I mean that could be different from countries... Do they know NITS brefing in Spain? (that's an example)
Here we go,
Good luck!

I bet many people have, myself included, this question in their mind before they go for the interview. Sometimes it's simply not practically possible to solve an hour in a 737 simulator before the assessment, considering time available, availability of sim, cost and much more...
Personally I only had a week notice, travelling 5000 miles for the interview, lots of paperwork to arrange beforehand, I did not get the opportunity. I sat in FS reviewing procedures, profiles etc. and it worked out just fine.
It's certainly a good idea to have some experience with a 737 cockpit and approximate flight characteristics, but don't feel your doomed to fail on beforehand just because you haven't.
