TR course
 

Anybody knows the difference between LGW and CAE courses?

TR February 23rd
 

Hi there!

Anybody else on the type rating course starting 23rd February 2015?

Which school?
 

Hi Guys/ Gals,

For those of you who have been successful would you mind stating which school you trained at. I'm studying for my ATPLs as we speak so looking at schools for next summer.

@m1cdu
Congratulations! For how long you've been waiting for the magic call? And what is your background if I may ask?

Anybody else?

Thanks

Hi Joseph!

I got the call pretty quick, I applied 3 weeks ago on CAE website.
My backround: I'm 20 years old from sweden, I studied my ATPL at SPU in sweden, then ME/IR/CPL at Diamond Flight Academy Scandinavia and MCC at CAE Stockholm. I'm still waiting for the next call with a date to the assessment day, but at least they told me I passed the first telephone interview and the will get back shortly:cool:

Hello everybody:) i have my Assessment 5.11 in Dublin. Anybody else?

I passed the phone interview yesterday and today got the call to confirm assessment in Dublin on Tuesday 4rd November.

Anyone else?

What we have to do after the sim and personal interview? We have to pay the full 737 Type Rating or is there any possibility to pay the TR with a reduced salary or something like this?

Thank you guys!

Hello C!
I'm glad you made it! We were on the same MCC course! The guy from Crete! No phone call yet despite a positive feedback from CAE MCC. I just hope that Ryanair is indeed an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate me for my age (38) ;-)
Well done again and wish you to make it to the Boeing 737 NG cockpit soon!
Can't wait to get a chance!
All the best!

They called me a while ago and gave me an assessment date on 5/11 in Dublin!
I will be in DUB from 3/11. Would be nice to meet up somewhere to grab a dinner and a beer and get to know each other.

Type Rating
 

Hello,

anyone who got the call to start type rating; did they email you the inforamtion about it straight away? I got the good news call but have no extra info apart from a date.

Thank you

It should come through in a day or two once you have done the telephone interview, and CAE give you an assessment date.

Got it. It didn't come through to my iPhone inbox I had to log onto a pc and sign into my emails.

Is there anyone who has had more than one atpl resit and got offered an assessment, lately?

Ryanair is recruiting! - Pilot Flight Training School UK - FTA

Is this number reasonable?

Assessment 28th
 

Hi guys, I have the assessment on the 28th in Dublin. PM me if you want to meet

Got a call on wednesday from CAE about my application (i guess the phone interview?) but as bad luck always strikes me, I was in a meeting at that moment and couldn't answer the phone (i didn't know who was calling at that time either)

They left a message saying that there was no need to call them back, that they would get in touch with me the next day.
However I'm yet to receive a call and it's friday afternoon.

Should I just wait or try and give them a call?

Hi all,

Anybody doing there assessment 3rd November in Dublin?

Send me a PM be good to have a chat before then!

Hi everybody,

I had my assessment in Dublin the 16 october and got a positive reply today.

So I've read a lot of feedback and I've to say that it's exactly like the others described it.

For the interview, questions about myself, about my instructors, my MCC, why RYR, they asked me which bases i would prefer, and for the technical was just about what is the PFD, MCP, and the FMA. Thats it.

For the sim it was Dublin Liffy 4A departure climb 4000 ft, then some NDB evolutions, they asked us where are we, which QDM, and then we had an emergency a bomb when i was PF and a fire when i was PM, then we were cleared for ILS 28 in DUB and were told that the GS might have some issues, so we check with the DME distance if we were on slope and at the end GS was working perfectly.

So if I had any advice, keep cool, smile, and relax they are no tricks, they are really funny they joked, really a good moment.

That's it good luck to everybody !!

I've heard the language deficiency is the major one which could influence other factor such as CRM

I got an email now saying congratulations I passed the assessment, so that's nice.
I was given a choice of 4 different type rating start dates in that email, and to list my order of preference.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get your course date confirmed after you send your order of preference?

Hi All,

I am booked onto the Assessment on 3rd November in Dublin.

I booked a sim refresher with Simtech the night before 2/11 from 6-8pm. I received an email from Simtech saying that another person is booked 8-10pm.

I believe the plan is that we are going to be PM for each others session. If this is you that has booked the 8-10pm session, send me a PM and we can make contact before next week.

Ryanair ATPL requirements
 

Does anyone know the ATPL exam requirements for Ryanair?

At BA I think you need atleast 85% and no more than 3 fails,
At Easyjet I think you need 90% and no fails?

If any of the above is not true please correct me, it would be interesting to know if Ryanair have a certain level of criteria for the employment of cadets.

Friend of my went through the process last month. He said it was no more than 1 failed subject(passed on first re-sit) and 80%+ average.

I am shocked BA would accept 3 fails!!
Djknight93, just out of curiosity around how much is a 2hr SIM with Simtech these days?

If anyone is in the type rating course "CAE1418" starting March 9th 2015, they are welcome to join the Facebook group I created.

If you want an invite, send me a PM here with your facebook account name, and I will add you.

Just for getting together about accommodations, training, etc :)

Well done to all who just got accepted and I wish you all good luck in your type ratings and future careers. Could you just briefly post age, atpl average and flight exam results just to help others who are in the situation you were not so long ago, think it would benefit all here!!Thanks guys

Hello everyone First time on here


I have a assessment on the 12th November in Dublin, would someone who has recently attended the Dublin assessment be kind enough to forward me the Ryanair briefing pack ? They will not send it to you until Friday/Saturday before the assessment day.A friend has kindly given me his, he has been with Ryanair a few years and its dated 29/09/2009 and it would be nice to get a updated version to get ahead of the game.


I was looking at the interview preparation online 2 companies seem to offer it, latest pilot jobs and flight deck friend any feedback on which is the best to purchase would be awesome !!


Another BIG ask can the guys/girls who have attended the Dublin assessment in the past couple of months be kind enough to give some feedback on the Tech questions asked.


Had my Telephone interview today, very relaxed asked me for the expire dates of my medical (any restrictions on it)& ME/IR , have I completed MCC, do I have my licence and what is it JAR/EASA, Did I pass all my exams first time and what was my average, did I pass my CPL&IR first time, my TT, date of last flight and date of last sim session. After that the lady read a paragraph to me twice and asked me 3 questions about it can't remember exact words but it was about a fire (un-contained) on board a a/c and how deadly the smoke/fumes are. The questions were 1,was the fire contained or un-contained 2,what is the most dangerous thing about the fire 3, what would cause the most harm to people. please be aware this is not the exact wording.


If someone is kind enough to forward a briefing pack please message me on he for private email.




Male 32 English
1900hrs TT mostly SEP
First Time passes in ATPL Exams 92% Average
First Times Passes in CPL/IR

Thank you @speed alive rotate :) Good luck !!

Hello!

Nice to hear that so many are getting through to the assessments!

I finished my MCC one weak ago and applied to RA on wednesday 22/10.
Today they contacted me by email saying they wanted my CV and also to answer some questions.

They also said that it is important that i have my certificates(got my CPL/ME/IR this summer) and that I have completed the MCC, do anyone know if I have to wait for my new license to arrive(including the MCC) or if it is enough with a "MCC diploma" from my flightschool?

Im 23 years old
160h TT
95% average first pass on ATPL

It states clearly that you need to have your licences issued, they will also confirm this on the phone.

To those waiting, they employ a mixed group, from 30yr+ instructors with 1000 hours to fresh cadets with min hours, all nationalities (maybe not irish). There are no answers to be found in what hours everyone has and where they went to school. I felt exactly the same way as you all do, but from what i can gather you either hear or you don't. The question is, what can you do to improve your chance of an application with your name on it being selected?

They need 600 pilots, they are expanding and they seem pretty keen on getting new cadets on board.

Keep going

Hey @elmore81, where do you get your figure of 600 pilots? Is that per year or over the next few years?? Also you have obviously heard something regarding the non hiring of Irish pilots? Regards SAR

I saw an internal email via a friend

I haven't heard anything apart from what i see on here, i was speaking to an irish guy who swears that they won't take on irish guys, but unless someone tells you that from HR its all hear say.

I remember not so long ago that everyone was saying that ryr wouldn't hire 30+ yr olds, but thats clearly not true either.

Yeah very true elmore81, think there opinion on 30+ has changed altogether, seems plenty of guys even up to mid 30s are now being hired. However the Irish thing still seems to crop up, what a shame considering it is an Irish Airline.

Could someone please let me know the address of the Dublin Assessment Centre so I can book the relevant accommodation PM is fine.

Dear all,

excuse me to disturb you in your conversation,


as per the requirements to apply we must hold valid JAR or CPL, ATPL, IR, MCC...
But can I apply if I have all of these licences but issued in the US ?


Thanks!
Good look all for your interviews
