Hi guys! I'd like to share with you my experience
Technical questions:
-irs
-gps
-critical engine on seneca? Why? Does the 737 has a critical engine?
-in which direction the fan rotates?
-why aircrafts have swept wings? Why are useful?
-seats of the 737
Hr questions:
-who are you
-why Ryr should hire you
-where do you see yourself in 5 years
-if you're successful,when can you begin?
Sim:radar dep climbing on rwy hdg to 5000ft at 2nm left turn 180. Then acceleration and deceleration, climbs and descents,intercepted a qdm inbound the ndb and a hold. After that we had smoke from the toilet and the simulator was freezed. Repositioning for a straight in app on rwy 27, when vmc conditions, ils failure and we continued visual.

Hope it helps!
Good luck guys!

Hi guys!!!

I received the call today and I am booked for the assessment on 7th July.
Anyone else booked for the same date?

Thanks for the Info Coli90 ,
Just curious as to what you answered to the question :
Does the 737 has a critical engine?
-in which direction the fan rotates?
I'm finding so much contradiction online on this topic and hard to get concrete confirmation.
Maybe someone would like to give their advice,
Many Thanks.

[Coli90]

There is no critical engine in the 737 as in all jet airplanes! One engine could became 'critical' only in case of engine failure with crosswind coming from the side of the inop engine! Both fans of the 737 are clockwise, to reduce the maintenece cost

Hope it helps!

@speed alive rotate the only thing in a jet that can get an engine "critical" is the crosswind. However, the ce will always be the downwind one (when the wind is coming from the side of the live one) because the live engine thrust yaws the plane towards the "dead leg", and if you add a crosswind coming from the live side you will get the yaw moment worst, so you will need more rudder to counteract it. For the rest @Coli90 was absolutely right!

[speed_alive_rotate]

I thought the same as you both and appreciate your contribution, sometimes overlooking things and trying to get more information on line can lead to contradictions which may confuse haha!!
Thanks again to you both-

[Live your dream]

Ironwings you are wrong. With a crosswind the airplane will yaw into the wind, if you loose the upwind engine the yawing moment will be aggravated assisted by the crosswind. If we loose engine #2 the crosswind to reduce the yawing moment should come from the live engine, in this case from the left.

[Coli90]

Guys! If an aircraft experiences a left engine failure, it generates a yawing moment to the left..if the xwind comes to the left it generates a further yawing moment to the left, also for the effect of the vertical stabilizer(since the wind impacts on the left side,increasing the yawing moment to the left!)

Hope it helps!

Hey guys,

kudlaty i am also on the 7th july assessement

APC1601 - Group is made on FB, feel free to join us


Assessment day APC programme

I started to fly as PF:
-WAL2N SID briefed, then during the initial part of the sid he started with vectors together with speed change.
-radar vectors for the ILS NDB DME Rwy 27 in EMA.
-no emergency situation.
Same things for my partner

HR question:
- introduce yourself
- why Ryanair?
- why should we hire you?
- why have you chosen your flight school? Where do you live? Do you like your city?
- how do you like APC Assessment Preparation video?
- what about doing mcc one more time?
- You in 5 years?


Tech question:
- max 737-800 cieling
- seats on the 737-800, emergency exits
- fire extinguishers, types
- hydroplaning,formula, what is it?
- asked about airplanes i have flown


very relaxed atmosphere!

Best regards and good luck all!!

During the take off run, and just on the ground before to get airborne, usually, the aircraft is affected by "positive weathercock effect", or, in other words, yaw into the wind due to the main wheels that, being close to the CG, act as a pivot allowing this effect. When I say usually, I mean that we have also "negative weathercock effect", which yaws the plane away from it, allowing exactly the opposite effect. Once airborne, the aicraft won't experience any weathercock effect, so any "yaw" due to crosswind, but just Drift, pushing the plane in the opposite way the direction of the wind! Furthermore, the wind doesn't impact just the fin but mainly the fuselage, creating in an upwind engine failure case a restoring force, thus helping the aircraft to deal with it with the rudder!

Hi guys!

Anyone on the 1st july assessment?

[dario.monai]

Hello,

sorry to keep bothering everybody with this but I still hope to find somebody who's on CAE1617 in AMS to get in touch and possibly look for an accommodation together.

feel free to PM me!

Cheers

Is it possible to withdraw your RYR application from CAE?

Avi Navi Comm send me a PM for CAE1616 I cant PM you

[eeesprit]

Finally got CAE's call, 8 days after the e-mail.
Without any surprise, questions about licences, expiring dates, 1st passes etc.
Test of english comprehension, they read me a text twice talking about dehydration, then 4 questions. Very straightforward.
Then invite me for the assessment, brief explanation of the day and the type of documents to bring.

Anyone scheduled for the 12th of july in Dublin ?
