Hi Fancy Navigator,
I start my Induction on the 11th of Dec at East Mids, break for Xmas and then out to CAE on the 1st of Jan to start the TR.
So far Ryanair have been prompt, friendly and provided all information, contract, joining instructions etc..... I have emailed them a couple of times with questions and both times have had very prompt responses.
Will let you know how it goes!!
All the best to those with assessments coming up.
Dan

I too passed the sim this week, my start date is 9, Jan '07.That same day I got another offer of interview for a Jet job!!.....nothing for 16 months, then two in the same week!Good luck to everyone. Pm me for any info on FR sim asse'.:ok:

Can anyone tell me if they have had to pay for the assesment at Ryanair, I to have an assessment coming up and they want to charge me for it? I just thought that this practice had stopped some time ago?

727. I did'nt pay for assessment either, I was invited as a result of attending their recruitment day in August, however the other eleven, all via CAE, did !


Tablet. I think people may be allocated earlier TR slots due to cancellations, its probably easier to fill cancellations from the last batch of interviewees than re-schedule ones already in the system! However if you want an earlier slot why not give them a ring, someone could have cancelled just this morning ;)

Hi Dan 98,

Thank you very much for your input. It was very clear and useful. All the best with the course!!!;)

Cheers,

Embraer 195

So.. I just got a call from Scandinavian Aviation Academy, and I am going to attend in a pre assessment day, the 19th November at SAS Flight Academy in Stockholm. It only took me 2 weeks to get an answer :ooh: .

Is there anyone that have experience from this?

It seems like we will get some ATPL questions and also a english test, after that it will be a interview.

What type of ATPL questions can I expect?

Cheers :)

hi david check your pm

Hello everybody,

I have my assessment in December in EMA. I'm type rated B737 so I would like to know what kind of questions I could expect with my interview.
Someone who can help me with this?? That would be great!!!!!

Thanks already!!

B737_FL410

Hi all,just a short question..I have sent my application to CAE some weeks ago, but how long does it usually takes to get an answer?Do you know if there will be assessment days soon? For your info, I've just finished my ab initio training in Italy.Thanks

Hi,

I've been waiting 10 months before being called by CAE. Some others waited only a few weeks.

And yes, they're hiring intensively.

Good luck

final app,
have you chased them up?

Ryanair Assessment
 

Hi all,

I had the assessment at East Mids yesterday thurs 16th. I went in sim at 10 and interview at 12. Had an email waiting for me when I got home to essex and IT SAID I PASSED AND HAVE GOT THE JOB. Aaaaaaaaahhhh. Scarey as first job and only 21!!!!! 203hrs TT. Start CAE t/r 1st Jan. Cant wait. If anyone is up 4 assessment then you can PM me. Biggest tip, Fly the profiles on ms flight sim using the wilco 737-300 set at 40,000kg and just try to ignor N1 instead of EPR settings.

Regards,

RJELLISUK:ok:

Does the B737-200 sim in East Midlands have the 300 MCP? Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS :ok:

Ryanair Assessment
 

Hiya,

The answer is yes, It is extremely similar. Also there is an ADF needle on the actuall HSI so it maked tracking very easy as you can put the CDI on the required TRK. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/711494/L/
This link shows a 732 very similar. You have 2 course selectors on the mcp, one for both sides, 1 hdg sel which moves both bugs, and the speed window which moves the orange bug on the ASI. Also you use the mcp alt window so you get alt alert +- 1000ft.
Hope that helps

RJELLISUK:oh:

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0771310/L/
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0991579/L/

Actually these are more accurate as they show the red ADF needle on the HSI and the correct spherical ADI as used.

RJELLISUK:mad:

Looks great :) , thanks for the info. I may have some questions later when I am about to do the assessment in East Mids (if I pass the tests now on sunday), so be prepared for a PM :}

Ryanair Assessment
 

Look forward to hearing from you.
Good luck Sunday,

Regards,

RJELLISUK:ok:

Congratulations RJELLISUK and good luck David_Lid Air.

Actually see you out in CAE RJELLISUK! :ok:

After checking the posting age of some of the successful candidates, has anyone the wrong side of 30 been successful or even got as far as the assessment days? No, I thought not :ugh:

Good luck to all the 'lucky' candidates!

And also Bertie friend of mine is 32 and starts TR early december so not all doom and gloom!

Bertie,

38yr old, modular via various schools, part time ppl instructor and no contacts in Ryan. After eight years from trial lesson to recent success,
all I can say is, if you really want it, stick at it!!

Avadoo, EGAC_Ramper and tablet,

Thanks, the replies provide a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for all the great info so far.:D
Does anyone have any copy of the plates of Luton apt. Ex. CLN 6B and the app for RWY26. And I need the power settings and flight profile as well if someone has it please pass it to me.
Is there a panel interview with 2-3 interviewers or is there only one interview guy?:rolleyes:
:ok: :ok: :ok:

Mac,

Two interviewers, 1 human resources and 1 sim assessor.

Airfield plates can be downloaded if you log onto ' NATS '.

I would recommend at least a one hour session in a 732 sim if possible.
I know some guys have prepared with six hour sim sessions and still been
unsuccessful on the day !!

I agree, I felt much happier having had some B732 sim time. Also you can download the SID & APP' Plates from the uk AIP, website:www.ais.org.uk.

Plates for ryanair sim assessment
 

I downloaded the actual jepp plates free off thomsonfly recritment page as sim assessment the same. The approach plate is the same although thomson fly the ils and we fly the ndb. Just use the FAT and the loc spot heights for the profile. remember it is a full procedual app so learn the enteries for the hold style join.
It is at the botton of the pilot recruitment page,

Regards,

RJELLISUK:ok:

CAE accomodation
 

Gentleman,

Other students at CAE wil help you with accomodation, I have visited some students I know from my ATPL class and saw that they have proper accomodation not to far from CAE.

There also is a school campus next door where students of the Aviation college next to CAE live.

So, don't worry, There is a place to stay.

:) Raceeend :)

Jinster/RJEllis

Did you both not get the email from Latha re accommodation? I have it and can forward it on if you want.

See you both in EMA on 11th!

Andy

I just recieved an email from CAE to breakdown again my Flighthours...GOOD SIGN ???

I think I failed the pre assessment tests :{ , ok I am not that surprised because I was sick and could barely tink that day. But at least they could give me a call and let me know:confused: , the other guys have been told whether they failed or passed, but I have been told nothing :ugh:.

Should I give them a call? I have sent an e-mail but no response :uhoh: , and before I did these tests they replied very fast.

Oh well. I think I need to activate plan b.

I heard from them 20mins after my sim ride by email

Ok :) .. I havent done the sim ride yet. I did some theoretical tests, those who pass those may go to england and do the sim thing :} .. A school here in Sweden provide Ryanair with pilots.

HEllo

How much does the rating cost - and how lon time can you expect to sit and wait for linetraining without pay ??
Asking because I have been accepted on PEgasus Airlines typerating course and 100 hrs linetraining and can be done with all of it in MAy 2007 so dont wanna pay more to Ryan and sit around waiting for 6 months to start linetraining

Jannik

Well there is problems I can see here Jannik,
If you do the type rating with Pegasus, and want to join Ryanair afterwards, you will need 500 hours on a 737 3-900, If you only have 100 hours you will need to re-do a Ryanair Type Rating. No exceptions.

Hi Cojack

To be honest I would try to steer clear of Ryanair if possible after all the bad things I have headr. But since I applied to them over 2½ yrs ago I finally got a reply 2 days ago (took them 2½ yrs to get back to me)

If I have the rating and 100 hrs I should be able to get a job with another 737 carrier no problem - so would definitly not go for Ryanair if I have the rating and 100 hrs.
But dont think I will go to their assesemnt as its 2500£ + travel etc more thant the PEgasus course which includes linetraining and I probably wont hear from Ryan again bofore sometime next year and Im scheduealed to start rating early January with Pegasus so wont bail out ion Pegasus to fail Ryan assesments and the have nothing.

Good luck to all ryanair applicants - hope you will get a reply within 2½ yrs

Jannik

Yet I havent been notified if I passed the tests or not, but now it doesnt matter to me anymore, I just got another offer that I will take. So Ryanair, congratulations you just lost a good pilot candidate :}.

If they only where a little bit faster they would have had me. But of course there are so many pilots out there who wants to join RYR so I actually, dont think that they will cry because I gave up on them :).
