I’m not sure what rock you’ve been living under but Upilot are extremely highly regarded amongst people who have gone for ryanair assessments, including myself and a significant number of my colleagues. If you can’t fly the upilot sim then you shouldn’t be flying, end of story. The feel system in upilots sim has very little to do with how you perform in the ryanair assessment.

Even this thread alone, if you look back over it for the past number of years you will see the large number of recommendations and referrals from pilots who have used upilot for their assessment prep sessions and who have subsequently been successful at the ryanair assessment.

Hi everyone,

Anyone going to the assessment on the 11th of April?

You keep recommending them which makes me think that you probably work there? If not, apologies!

I went to uPilot and didn't pass the assessment, my friends also went there and they did pass the assessment. Extremely helpful and friendly guy who knows a lot about the Ryanair assessment and I would go there again.

Read carefully, I did not pass the assessment yet I still suggest people visit him for the sim preparation because it does help.

I keep recommending because I hold them in such high esteem for ryanair preparation, as do many of my colleagues, as I have already mentioned.

As I’ve said already, it’s not the upilot sim that causes pilots to fail the ryanair assessment, it’s the candidates ability and performance on the day of their assessment. Bear in mind that lots of pilots pass the assessment with ryanair having completed their training anything up to five or six years previously, and have done very little flying in the meantime bar their renewals, and they pass the assessment having had no prep sessions beforehand. Which brings me back to my previous statement, it’s not the upilot sim that caused you or you or friends to fail the assessment, it’s your performance on the day of your assessment, and that performance is a reflection on your ability and how good of a pilot you are.

Hi can’t send a PM... is there a FR1808 group somewhere? FB? whatsapp?
Can’t wait to start!

Simulator:



Me and my partner were the last in the simulator. I started as PM and we flew a modified SID out of Liverpool RWY 27 (Straight ahead to 3 DME from IBQ then right turn to 360 climb and maintain 5000 ft.) A bit of airwork (climbs, descends, turns) nothing special. Then a full procedure for ILS RWY 27 go around, and then reposition on 10 nm final for a full stop.



When i was PF the simulator kind of broke down, and i had to fly the ”whole” simulator part without autothrust, heading bug, altitude bug or flight directors. I think i flew 15 minutes with no emergencies only a take-off, some airwork and then reposition on 10 nm final for full stop landing.



Good luck out there guys!

guys, as someone who was very close to this until recently, Simtech is a much better option where you will at least be prepped by a real pilot, in realistic conditions, Upilot prepped candidates have a much lower pass rate and it is real shame for cadets who are already paying €350 for the assessment, that they are not getting the prep expected. if you are thinking of wasting €400 going into something similar to microsoft flight sim, you are better off setting something up in your bedroom !

so why spunk €400 on a prep course then?

They just called you out of nowhere? No warning about when they will call you beforehand like other guys said?

That’s personal preference, some people choose to do it with no prep, others choose not to.

Dear friends,

I am B737 classic rated, only SIM Time, what kind of technical questions I can expect?

And what about the SIM, what they are expecting to see?

I will have an interview for cadet position.
Thank you for the help.

Best regards,

Fayaz Rasac

Hey,

When did you apply?

2/03/2018

Phone call 28.03.2018

I can't send you a pm, are you going at 8 or 12?

I had the same.. I also struggled with assessment, the day before I did upilot.. I must admit it was great training but without feedback on the yokes, I found out a day later that the Ryanair sim was too heavy... I did my assessment October 2017

Has anyone attended the assessment for the 2nd time? How did you managed to get a second chance?

Does creating another account bans you from the process? If so, how is it possible to delete it?

Thanks!
