I applied in april last year when I passed the IR. They recently called me for an assesment.
I also know a few people who have been called rencently within weeks of finishing their MCCs. That said, I know about 5 people who were called roughly after about 6 months, and about 5 who also waited a year! Just seems to be random to me....
A year was just enough time to get into the rythm of part time instruction, working and paying back the bills!
Now £260 assesment, IR, MEP and SEP renewals all at once! Sheesh, I'm not sure where the 28 large is going to come from if I'm successful!

Thank you very much for your help!
cheers

IR requirement?
Hey Guys,
Slightly off topic but just a quick question...do RYR care whether an applicants IR is a First time/First Series or Second Series Pass or do they just expect an IR period?
The only reason I ask is that I was really unlucky and failed the IR exam earlier this week due to the weather drastically deteriorating (gusting xwinds during an ILS approach) by the time I reached my destination airport.
Thanks,
CC

Torque, I guess your just been a bit friendly sarcastic there.
Dont worry too much about failing or partialing an IR test, many people do it, its the toughest one to pass as if you get it wrong its the best way to kill yourself flying an aircaft, most ratings are a licence to learn, even as a new IR pilot your unlikely to take off in minimum weather just for the crack as you know yourself your not up to it yet, just like doing a type rating, your with a line trainer for the first 8 weeks or so even though your rated its a big deal to fly initialy, all the guys interviewing did the same route you did and started in 152's etc and so will give you a break on that provided you impress in other areas.
get it passed, study hard for the interview should you get one and good luck

insomniac... mate of mine got an assessment second time around but didn't get in - that I know first hand. Have heard of someone who got through second time around but got nothing to back that up - heard it was when economic times were better though. I think your chances of getting through second time round in the current economic climate are slim - they're even turning down decent pilots for first interviews at the moment or making them wait months... maybe when things pick up, second timers may get a look in.
I believe you have to wait a year to reapply or so it was when my mate reapplied.

Hi guys, I have a question. I just did RYR interview...Based on your experience would they fail me if my only mistake was not retarding the throttle right after leveling off (like a stupid I let it accelerate to 240 instead of 220, shame on me). Rest was I think ok, at least in the standard, no mayor mistake. Thank for your replies. Cheers. PM me

ryanair sim check
lucair84.....Hi, It may depend on how quickly you corrected the error, but also bear in mind that sometimes your own perception of your own own performance may be quite different to that of the person who is assessing you!I am not trying to upset you and I hope that you've passed.
There are many variables to consider here, including how well you did and came accross during the interview.Don't believe it's all about the sim check as in my view it isn't.If they don't like say your attitude or think you lack technical knowledge this will be enough to put a question over hiring you.
It's all about supply and demand as well.The usually only take a 'percentage' of the candidates on the day so you need to really shine to be in with a chance.For all you hopefulls out there,they do give second chances.If you are borderline,they may invite you to reapply in 6 or twelve months.It happended to me.When it was 2 days before Christmas at the time when I failed, it seemed like the end of the world. I DIDN'T GIVE UP THOUGH and when the second chance did come, I seized it, but I had made sure I was bloody well prepared for it and that is what anyone must do if they ' really ' do want it.
Despite some of the rubbish written on here,it isn't easy to get in and it isn't easy to complete the the training either. It's a real shame in my view, that many see the job a just a career choice based on 'potential high salary' but we all know where that's headed.For me flying has always be about the 'passion' for it and while 'I won't I fly for food' AND DO EXPECT REASONABLE RENUMERATION, I STILL CONSIDER IT A PRIVELEDGE to be able to fly and live my boyhood dream.
I know you don't all feel the same, but I would rather fly with someone who does.Being a Pilot and certainly being a trainer is a vocation, as is being a priest! In my opinion anyone who does the job of an Instructor and does not accept this, will probably be bad at there job. Anyone lucky enough to be given the chance to fly for Ryanair should grab it and anyone involved in the company will know if they are honest, that the training received is among the highest standards in the world.
That's my piece said and good luck to anyone who really wants the job for all the right reasons!!

Jimmy,
I do agree with you, and of course performances might be seen different from the examiner, but as I wrote in the post I seriously didnt make mayor mistakes, but for that, I actually corrected right after i noticed (he did say "speed"), not even 5 seconds after.. but i agree with you, you have to shine to pass the interview. I guess I shined in my engine fire and ILS then. Maybe not enough, but at least I was very happy of that. I know that if I failed it is only my fault, I was calm and relaxed and the examiners were soooo good, keeping us in our confort zone. I also know that if I fail next time I'll be much better. The technical interview was pretty easy, didn't have problem with that at all, so I guess either they didn't like me or that mistake is pretty big. Thats why I wanted to know what you guys think of it...
Take care guys,
Luca
