Well, I can only comment based on my assessment in which the calling out of the correct checklist for the correct flight phase was sufficient and the actual checklist does not have to be completed.

Basically just call “before takeoff checklist” etc the examiner will just shout “done”.
All the best

I Want to share my assessment experience
So for those whom are waiting, please don’t quit
I applied in beginning of September, received the online invitation in November and Dublin invitation in December to make the assessment in January.
I have just a regular MCC, we were 8 as usual, 4 of us had APS-MCC Ryanair Mentored.
We were paired with according with our experience.
HR Interview
Tech Interview.
The simulator, TNT 2N, cleared to 5000ft. Short brief, FD and AT on, at around 4000ft AT and FD disconnect. Fly SID, then intercept radials, accelerate to 310kts, decelerate to 230kts, descent to 3000 ft at 800ft/min. Step turn 45 deg. Stopped the sim and asked where we were in relation to the NDB, and which holding entry sector, to both of us. Then emergency and vectors for ils.
For my theoretical preparation i used the pilot assessment and for the sim i combined the info from the brief package and the pilot assessment information, then i made 3 simulator sessions in my own country, i didn’t on the Ryanair recommended places, but all the other guys made on the recommended places.
I got a positive result in the days after.
I wish the best luck for you all.

By pilot assessment information you mean the pilotassessments.com website right?

Feedback
Hi guys, just want to give feedback.
i got my license in the last few months of 2022 I applied in early December and uploaded all documents.
They emailed me a link to the online assessment same evening and I paid €60 for it.
I did it few days later and then I got invited to sim in Dublin in mid Jan.
I did 4 hour sim prep at Upilot at Dublin. Good place, but the sim is not accurate to the real sim. The trim did not work when I was there. But they help you lot with theory as well.
I did the assesment/interview. My HR/tech interview was surprisingly short, around 8 minutes.
that kind made me feel bad, as I thought I might have put them off and they were not interested in me.
I later googled and felt better as it said it might be because they already know all they needed to know, so no point continuing further.
then came the sim assesment. PF and PM, not Liverpool Pol4T SID. All good.
then steep turns.
then emergnecy
and Radar vectored ILS back at Liverpool.
Flew the ILS like a champ.
no go around.
Top tip: know the pitch and power settings at 60 tons, and it really is price of cake.
few days later I got the good news.
for emergency one of us had fwd cargo fire
the other had passenger with health emergency
Use T DODAR or similar. Show CRM, always talk and communicate with partner.
it’s really chilled environment. They do really make you feel comfortable. Just be yourself guys. Dress up smart.
You will meet other cadets all over Europe.
all the best guys.

Hi guys,
I know for many it will sounds funny but I just wouldn’t want to waste my chance because of that, also I couldn’t find answer for that.
I know they want from you 2 reference letters. I see you can bring one from someone you know for more than 5 years and I will bring from my very best friend that I know for like 12 years but I don’t know what about with other one. They don’t want you to bring reference from relatives as a someone who you know for 5 years but what about if I worked in 2 companies of my father and getting reference from him as my employer/boss. When it comes to one from the school it’s also not that easy as it’s hundreds of kilometers ride and also I would have to translate it. Thought about getting one from my flight instructor but I’m not sure if it’s ,,educational body”. Or simply just bring two reference letters from someone I know for 5 years would that be a problem? Thank you

As I thought unfortunately. What about company of a relative? For someone with short life experience as me it is not that easy to find good reference especially if you worked for 2 companies and both were more or less from someone from your family. Anyone has been in similar situation and knows solve for this?

Anyone here who did their ATPL exams through Austro Control? I have a 'Licence Results Overview' which has all my ATPL exam results on, but it doesn't state how many attempts it took to sit each exam (all were passed 1st time). On the list of items to bring to the interview it says I need to bring my ATPL exam results and it must state how many attempts I took per exam. Any advice or anyone had similar problem having sat exams with Austro? I've emailed them to see if they can issue me a document showing my exam results and that they were all passed on first attempt, or if they can just confirm this by email and I can take that with me as confirmation, but not sure if that wil suffice?
