Ryanair Interview and Sim Assessment (merged)

[aviationfanatic]

For all of you doing the online assessment - if you are caught reading the answers during the video recording you will be disqualified. A friend of mine who works there told me that a lot of people get caught reading the answers and get disqualified straight away. Just thought I 'd share this with you

I am looking to do some hours at uPilot or SimTech depending on availability before if anyone is interested in joining. I would also be really interested in any heads up on cheaper accommodation than that recommended by Ryanair, as it is very expensive that week due to the bank holiday on the 29th.

Making reference to earlier questions on the times it took for the process, so far.....

18/09/2018 Application sent to CAE
20/09/2018 Profile under review
20/09/2018 Invite to online assesment
26/09/2018 Completed Online Assessment
03/10/2018 Email informing me of Test Success and told about Call in the next 14 days
09/10/2018 Phone call, a few HR questions followed by invitation to Dublin Sim Assessment (SET DATE NOT FLEXIBLE)
30/10/2018 SIM Assessment in Dublin

Please if I can answer anyone's questions about the process or tests, let me know!

Thank you sammyspud! So they give you just one assessment date and you can' t ask for an other one? Thank you!

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you applied for the FO fast track CPT position or if you mostly come from flightschool. Because I applied for DEC FO fast track captain and never heard anything back so far - also I was told the online assessment is for cadet positions only. Just wondering.

Cheers,

They do have a look at it, probably just to have a general look through at your logbook.

Hello everyone!

I have my assesment on the 26th and I was wondering if any of you guys have it on the same day. It'd be nice if someone was willing to do some hours at Upilot with me the day before (on the 25th) we could do 2PF 2PM. If you're interested send me a PM or an email to [email protected]

Anyway, I hope you're all good, and best of luck for the upcoming days

Hello Guys,

Is the Ryanair preparation guide from latestpilotinterviews.com worth to buy for 30 Euros or not? Is it a PDF file or do I need an internet to work through?

I've often problems, to find adequate answers to difficult HR questions, even so, if I know them from this Forum, so maybe the guide helps more?

Best,
Marc

Hello Guys,

I took my assessment in Dublin on the 15th and I haven't received any feedback. I am really worried, because today it's 19th. Do they normally take that long? As far as I have read in the forum it normally takes a couple of days. :-(. Do they also give feedback if your are unsuccessful? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Phone call: 18/09/2018
Assessment: 16/10/2018
Successful: 19/10/2018

Resources that I used:

• ACE the pilot technical interview
• Sky instructor questions and answers
• Ryanair documents shared by Simtech and friends of mine
• Researched the 737-800 systems
• Researched my previous aircrafts: DA 40 and 42
• Researched Ryanair
• Looked through my CV for potential weaknesses as they like to ask them

Hi everyone,

I have recently passed the assessment and wanted to share what I got on the day since this forum helped me out so much.

There were 8 of us who started at 8am. We had Paddy and Frank as the pilot assessors, I had Paddy for the day along with Collin who is the HR assessor.

I started with the interview first and HR asked me questions regarding my CV and background so you just have to be confident with your experiences as they do try to pick out weaknesses from there as it happened to my sim partner.
The technical part was quite nice as he only asked a couple of questions such as:

• Describe the electrical system of the 737-800: Engine driven generators etc
• Is the APU an engine? I started describing it and mentioned it can be used for air conditioning/ pressurisation, provide electrics and bleed air etc
• What altitude and psi is the cabin normally pressurized to at cruise: around 8 psi and 8,000 feet
• What is the G limit of the 737-800: I guessed between 2-3 g and I think the standard is 2.5g
• He then moved on to asking questions about my interests regarding astronomy: does gravity affect the ISS etc

Simulator we were given WAL 2T departure and the ILS plate for Liverpool.

My partner was PF first, did the standard SID, general handling with climbing and decent. Before WAL VOR ATC advised that Manchester radar is U/S so we can't pass the beacon and was given a radial to track outbound. We were given QDM to track. Afterwards, ATC advised that we will have to wait 4 hours before the radar is fixed so we did DODAR, NITS and requested to return to Liverpool. We had to do one hold and then procedural ILS for 27 with G/S going out and landed. Throughout I just supported my sim partner and gave suggestions.

When it was my turn to be PF I had a non-standard departure, "climb straight ahead until 3DME, then turn left heading 180 climbing to altitude 5,000 feet". Once we did that we did general handling again with QDM tacking and then cabin crew reported toilet fire so DODAR, NITS again and we requested radar vectors for the ILS approach. Assessor froze the sim and asked us individually for the position. Afterwards, he allowed me to set up for the approach and a quick brief. ILS approach was stable with the G/S going out when visual so I continued and landed. The assessor seemed very pleased with us when we walked out.

Think the most important thing that they are looking for is CRM so me and my sim partner didn't really shut up throughout the whole process.

The few days after, me and the other guys were so nervous as people here often said that they would get a positive reply within 1-2 days but I was so glad that I received a positive email in the late afternoon on the 3rd day.

I think my advice is the same as everyone else. Be prepared and study hard with the technical and also HR interview. I also booked 2 hours in the Sim with Simtech the night before and it definitely helped with my sim assessment.

Good luck to everyone who have assessments coming up!

Hey Monsterx,

I did try to message you but your inbox was indeed full.

The folder that my friends sent me had the Navtech plates and also some questions that Ryanair typically asks. If you want it then please message me your email and I'll send it to you right away.

Regards,
