Licence out of date
Hello everyone!!
Maybe any of you had the same problem that makes me ....
My ME rating is near to expire and I have the FR assesment next month.
I think there aren't enought time to revalidate it because the date of the initial issue is 5 years ago, so, this time, the revalidation is not only the examiner signature at the back, this time I have to send my physical license to be re-issued in a new paper.
Do you know if some kink of certificate or written proof is admited in the assesment? Maybe the bill of the taxes to show that my licence is on the way?
thanks for your help

Both.
My ME rating expiring date is the same that the CPL validity.
And, as the SE is valid for 2 years, I have it current to the next year.
My IR is valid to.
thanks for your quick reply

Donīt worry!
Hello guys,
I did the Ryanair assesment last december and I passed. They give you the departure and approach plates at least 3 hours before your sim, and I can guaranty you that you have time enough to prepare them. I think itīs useless to waste time trying to find out wich departuere itīs going to be. I think itīs much more important to know by heart how to join a holding, get on outbound radial passed the station... etcetcetc
So my advice: Study ATPL topics, study your current aircraft, and if possible get a coumple of simulator sessions.
Good luck to everybody!

Feedback...
Hello all,
My feedback in a few words cause I've used this thread to prepare myself, and now, I'm in !
My profile: french, CPL-IR passed in 2004, MCC on light biturboprop done on Jan 2008, 220h TT nothing bigger than a seneca...
I've been in the assessment without any experience on a full motion sim nor on a jet engine sim.
I've trained myself on FS2004 737 PMDG add-on
This training was almost not sufficient as the instructor told me the D day...
My advice then:
- Have a couple of hours in a 737 full motion sim first
- Check your ATPL knowledge
- Check your former A/C knowledge
- Don't spend too much time on SID & approach charts: we have been proposed a departure clearance not following the given SID, and an ILS ! Then, 2 visual approach (very difficult with no experience on the 737 !)
Thank you very much to all and to PPRUNE for the help, and feel free to PM if you need any detail !

Hey everybody!
I read about Ryanair cadet program on Pilot Jobs network:
It says that the cost of the type rating is reimbursed to you throughout 2 years. Has Ryanair cadet program really changed?
Cheers!

Gentlemen, I could do with some sound advice.
If, for example, I had attended CAE/SAS to do a Ryanair MCC and failed the final simcheck, mainly because of the incompetence of my sim partner (he forgot plates, ect). Would it be possible to apply via the other company (ie, if I did the assessment at SAS, apply via CAE) to do the interview and simcheck, since I now have an MCC?
I would like appreciate any help you could give me on this, it's a big shame to loose an opportunity like this.
Kind Regards,
Tolan

I finished my mcc with CAE at the begining of February, and it was successfull, but still no word about interview. is it unusual, and how long does it usually take to get information about interview dates after mcc?
thank you,

I was successful at the assessment thanks to my copilot, Paul Deaves who is real First Officer with Ryanair. He was really helpful and even added power when i started sinking towards the runway. What a nice guy.
The interview went ok. Lots of tech questions but the two guys interviewing (Steve and Brian I think?) were very friendly.
Good luck!

EMT 31/03 & CAE Amsterdam 14/04/08
Hi there
Anybody out there joining me at EMT on the 31st March and then off to CAE Amsterdam for the TR on the 14th April? Would be good to make contact in order to see what everyone's plan of action is? I think I will be in a hotel for a week when in AMS and then I will try and get something a little cheaper. Maybe a couple of guys may be up for getting some shared accomodation? Who knows?? Hopefully hear from you via the PM system
Cheers, CK

Accom at CAE AMS
Guys,
A quick word. I did my RYR course and CAE is a sausage machine for FR pilots and cheap accom is not easy to find once you are there. There is accom possibly available at the very nearby college at very good rates but you want to try and book that NOW. If you have a car at EMA then the nearby travelodge can have very good rates (I paid Ģ15 per night via the internet). You can park round the back of the RYR training centre for free, Do not use the long term car park as it is a rip off at Ģ20 per day which is only Ģ13 more expensive than at Stansted!!
Public transport near CAE is excellent. If you are using the jump seat facility to Eindhoven then take the train to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport which is about 90 minutes, then go out front of the airport to the bus station and get the 500 bus marked for Haarlem and get off at Graan Voor Visch (not sure of spelling, but oddly enough means "Grain for fish") which is almost outside CAE. Buses need a card which is readily available from newsagents and is called a bustrippencart. I think 20.6 euro for 45 sectors but bear in mind that Haarlem to GVV is 4 sectors for example. If you speak English with a Dutch accent then the language seems pretty obvious sometimes!! CAE facility is excellent but the CBT is woefully inadequate for the exams ahead. Get to know students ahead of you for top tips on revision topics. When I was there, the tea/coffee/pepsi was all free and there is a very basic canteen on site. The sims are superb but be aware that you MUST MUST MUST spend every waking minute in the cardboard bombers practicing your flows as you get very little slack once you are in full flight simulator sessions. Work with your sim partner as if your career depends on it.......because it may well do.
Above all........ENJOY
