Hi FYWH!
Thanks for the advice
I'll take a look at that site
Do you (or anyone else that knows this thing) confirm that a joystick is not necessary during the test?
I ask this thing because a friend of mine applied for AL and he told me that there were some tests that required the use of joystick (with a keyboard they were almost impossible).

You can do all tests with your mouse or even touchpad.

Video Interview
I just completed the interview using an Android mobile phone and all seemed to work fine, there is an app that has to be loaded as part of the preparation phase. The whole process start to finish took about 10 minutes.

Hello guys,
Got the invitation too.
Regarding the video interview, can anyone tell us if the questions are related to a video we have to watch, or to standard HR questions, our motivation, background, etc..
Thanks and be lucky!

I have been using pilotaptitudetest.com and so far been a great tool for practice. Planning on completing the Aer Lingus assessments over the weekend.
Anyone else completed all 4?

Guys I don't pretend to be an 
, however want to remind that Aer Lingus is not Ryanair, where if you do everything right you get the job, here we are competing with each other, all of us, for the limited amount of positions available, so think twice before releasing data to help other candidates.

All standard staff apart the video interview which is the first time that I had to do such a thing during a selection process 👍.

Good luck anyways!

Some of you guys may have been looking for a job for a long time, some others, and I'm part of them, are pretty new on the market. What seems obvious for some is not for others, who are taking a step in the unknown. Helping others is something natural. If you are fighting only for yourself, you guys have nothing to do on a forum. I'll take the assessment and will be glad to share my experience, just pm me. I don't want to read this kind of hate here. If you guys are that much selfish, don't forget to mention it in your personality tests in the coming interviews, for sure, you'll still be here in a couple of years complaining that you don't have a job, despite your 320TR, and 1000ish hours.
Cheers.

Dips my man
Maybe I am totally wrong or good person😜 but in any interview I have attended so far I would never hesitate to pass any info to my fellow colleagues and so did they.Simply put my point is I do try to help in any way I can as you said so too.
However having said that I am not against the other friend that suggested not to share information,his opinion is well respected too.
Nevertheless bottomline is that the four modules that have to be done do not need any special feedback from one pilot to another,were neither difficult nor easy,they were doable so everyone should be able to do fine.
If I may one piece of advice for someone that has not done the video interview,run some typical questions in your head and answer them loudly,if possible record your self on camera too so you can check your self afterwards and determine if your presence was fine,it will give you some extra confidence and you will practice before undergoing the actual interview,thus you will feel more comfortable (I think at least)😂

Bro
The maths is not about adding and subtracting,it’s about volume for sure but I do not recall something related to ratio and units.
There were some examples with percentages aswell but unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to give any further assistance as Maths have always been my weakest point.
Regarding verbal reasoning could you be more specific so I could help you and the other guys more?
What I am trying to say is that as I am getting older and my memory is becoming worse plus the fact that English is not my mother tongue I do not recall which topic is that. If it suits you best send me a PM,in fact if anyone wants to ask something feel free to do so too.

I've just completed all mine (did it over a couple of days)
Tech assessments not too bad, just a case of trying to keep relaxed, go for it, no surprises on the content really, it's stuff that if you had no pressure you'd probably breeze a lot of it.
Video 'interview' was a couple of hours ago, I used mobile phone, you get a 'practice' question to give you an idea of the format.
It was more HR style questions, akin to any interview, regardless of industry. Took probably about 20 mins from clicking the link, downloading app, practice, then real thing.
my advice (for what it;s worth), just get ready and do it, if you've ever had interviews in the past (aviation or otherwise) the style of questions will be familiar.

I'm so astonished!
But this is just my opinion, and also this was said in the last year interviews as far as I´m concern, to not share questions outside, as this might be a reason to be disqualified right away if caught, and that this was a competitions. Note that the fact you are now competing doesn´t mean you can´t work as team player when required.
