Agree with that, in my interview I was asked about the differences between airbus and boeing cockpits. Obviously gave the usual chat about fly-by-wire etc, but made them chuckle when i mentioned the different coloured route-lines on the GPS, Airbus being green instead of Boeings pink! They must love the geeky plane jokes!

Deviation Test Stage 2
can someone please help me with a question. During stage 2 you have to keep the cross centred. I would like to know when you move the joystick does the cross move in the same way as the joystick or like an aircraft stick ie when you move it down the cross moves up? I woulod be very grateful for any help. Also any tips for the frame game?

Hi RD,
The joystick acts as if you were flying an aircraft. If you push forward the line will move downwards or pull back and the line will move up. Not sure what you mean by 'frame game' so can't help.

By the frame game I imagine you mean flying the "aircraft" through the boxes or frames? The only advice I can give you for that is fly through the boxes! As with any kind of flying be very careful that you don't over-compensate for being slightly off-line. It's all about smooth control inputs

Hey all,
I had my Phase 2 yesterday - sadly I didn't make it through but have been invited back in 6 months.
Needless to say I am a bit gutted but at least it's a positive that I'll have another chance.
Is there anyone out there who went through the same and was successful at reapplication - if so I'd love some tips on how you went about improving your scores the second time around - personally I think the Deviation Indicator and flyign through frames was realtively easy for me - I got decent scores - though the DI4 part 4 (ie the really horrible one at the end) and the Hands game really threw me!
Well done to those that got through - hopefully given some time I'll get to Join you!
Matt

Matt101,
I passed stage 2 a few weeks back, having previously done PILAPT tests with Cabair too. As far as the "Hands" task goes my only advice is to take your time and really think about what you're being asked to identify; maybe play it out in your head first - remember you've got as long as you want in between hearing the search criteria and having to press the green button!

Math Test For Ctc
Firstly thank you to all of you for your help. I was wondering if any of you can help with a query I have?
For the math test can any of you give some examples of the type of questions they ask. I think someone mentioned conversions and speed but can anyone give me an example ie the wording? I would really be grateful!
Also any news whether Wings and ATP piots are now being sent to Ryanair, either now or in the future.
Mucho Gracias....you all are the best

I really don't think it would be wise to give proper examples, it would kind of negate the point of the exercise. Lets just say pretend you have a certain amount of a currency. Convert that currency into another, then that amount into another.
Trust me - the Maths is nothing to worry about
Oh, and with respect to your second point I don't think they are sending pilots to Ryanair as they are not a partner airline but I stand to be corrected
