Hey,
My feeback from EW BQ.
Just some additionnal tips from my points of view, I won't go into much details, as the previous feedbacks cover more than enough.
Morning :
ATPL and Maths problems are the hardest. As you know, most people get eliminated of these two.
I could not finish the test for both of them. At some point, I had to answer randomly before the end of the timer (so yes, I was a bit lucky).
What I would advice is : you need at least 30 seconds to answer randomly 10 questions. Be aware that on each computer, there is a delay when you click on "Start" or "Continue" (hence my advice).
And since you do not lose point for an incorrect answer, just go for it, you never know.
ATPL test does not really look like what I used on "PASS". I would say it's a bit Ops oriented.
Example of Maths problem that I can remember :
Also a variant where you have to calculate the total volume (in liters).
Almost all the questions were like this. With percentages problems, area and volume (tank) calculations.
No Physics/Electrical problems for me that day (I heard people the day before got some can't confirm this rumor).
No Least Common Multiple questions like in Skytest... It was more basic but yet very challenging because of the time! (25 questions in 20 min)
Sometimes, the 4 proposed answers are very differents, so don't do the whole calculation. If the first digit that you find during your calculation allows you to discriminate 3 answers, stop there, choose your answer and move on.
Spatial Orientation = rotating cubes + rotating objets + 3D shapes on Skytest (you have to count the number of plane surfaces like in the sample on eaqc).
I found it like in the sample. Not that difficult.
English, well besides 2/3 words that I never read in my life, it was ok.
If you are serious about working abroad in the first place, it won't be a problem.
Afternoon :
Concentration = Number block tests on Skytest
If I remember correctly there are 8 to 9 rows of 5 digits numbers separated in 7/8 columns.
My technique : look at the middle number and proceed column by column. When you notice a "83" count with your hand so you won't forget.
Memory = Memorize types of aircraft on Skytest + another one with the same philosophy.
For example it shows : "Ship icon : 83" then "Nuclear sign : 98" "Owl icon : 45" and after a while "Ship icon : ?" and you have to type the answer.
One of the hardest for me.
Mental maths :
15 questions with sum, multiplication and division.
9 questions with time calculation (try to remember this : 180 min = 3h, 210 min = 3h30)
Very easy from my point of view.
Perception = Perception test on Skytest
Tbh its the same. A lot of questions where they just ask what shape and colors changed.
I tried to remember the color by identifying some "pattern"
Multitasking =
From left to right on the screen : follow the cross > press A,S,D or F when the light turn blue > press Q, W, E to fill 3 gauges > when you hear your callsign enter the value of the ATC instruction and press enter (no need to click in the area to enter the information).
BE CAREFUL ! You will be using computer with a German keyboard so : QWERTZ. If you are used to another pattern be very careful.
At the end personnality questions for 30 minutes.
We finished all the debriefs around 15:15.
Good luck.
P.S : I will not answer question by PM sorry. If you have a question, please ask here. But to be honest, everything is already on this thread.

8 excavators can remove 600 kg in 3 days.
How long for 6 excavators to remove the same amount ?

Sister is 2 years younger than her brother.
Father is 3 times older than her daughter.
The age of all three of them is equal to 75. How old is sister ?

A car/aircraft/whatever has a half-filled tank. When it uses 4/5 of this quantity, it can travel X km. What is the range with a full tank ?

Hi Everyone,
some additional thoughts to (the well detailed) previous feedbacks for the EW BQ:
General impression: some modules felt more difficult compared to Skytest, BUT my ultimate advise is to never give it up! Your performance is compared to a very wide range of average brought by thousands of applicants. So you can easily feel like performing bad, however still doing above the waist line.
ATPL: quite tough, expect exam level with mixed subject questions, Pilotassessments' 1160 questions-block only provided me a certain correct answer for a limited part of the questions, so recommend to use deeper quiestion banks like AE.
English: the samples they give you in the invitation mail represent well what to expect. Many words show up, I haven't seen before.
Orientation: sample test gives u the feeling regarding shapes, surface counting is their favourite.
Logical: scale excercise is different, more questions asking which is the heaviest shape (no such task on ST) Biggest difference from SkyTest: you need to interpret each scale (sometimes even 3 of them) to come to a solution (at skytest it worked out from the upper scale even on difficult level)
Number sequences: harder than Skytest (for me)
Memory: aircrafts, you have to type in, no multiple choice.., symbols part: started easyer, symbol+3digit nr, 4 differents was the hardest (as far as I remember)
Concentration: hurry up, 29 pages in 15 minutes! Quiet tiring (Only got until 21)
Muktitasking/color tanks: much shorter response time on the lights, but the "flight director" cross moves slower/less
Happy New Year & Good Luck Everyone!

Hi all,
Has anyone of you recently done the simulator assessment for Eurowings? I was told it will be in a A320 FFS in either Prague or Vienna, anyone got more information on content etc? Any difference between EWG/EWE?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my experience with the selection process. I had my BQ in December and the FNPT Screening last week. Everything about the BQ has been said already and it’s all true. Concerning the Screening, I’ve seen some people write how „easy“ that was, but looking from a perspective of a non-experienced fresh out of flight school pilot, it was nothing but easy. I rented a few hours in the very same PA34 sim beforehand and I must say that has been very helpful, because it feels really weird at the controls. Also the workload is very high, they will give you a non-RNAV SID and they will make the wind very strong aloft. They do tolerate mistakes, but only a few small ones. I had 3 and that was it for me, I failed. Also expect some tricks, like not being given your landing clearance at all.

I have Skytest, however, a friend got questions, word for word, from the ATPL Bank of LatestPilotJobs.
I was wondering the same.
