1st
 
Dont know exactly think it might be the wet training and admin type stuff. Brookfield told me not to worry about half the forms for the BAA airside pass as they will be going through it with us in EMA. But im not sure what the story is?

RJELLISUK 28th Nov 2006 16:29

1st
 
Well im on a ryanair contract not brookfields so have not recieved the forms yet, i do have the broookfields ones tho as they offered me a contract 2, i presume they are the same as the pass has 2 b4 ryanair weather ur direct or contract!!:ok:

EGAC_Ramper 28th Nov 2006 18:14

For those wondering what happens at EMA.

Just finished and basically first day was admin, recieving training files etc.
Then this is all followed by 2 days of CRM and 3 days of SEP. The SEp days included secuirty,safety etc with trip to the pool for a few lengths. Also a go on the cabin trainer with escape slide and overwing exit, aswell as this at some god forsaken hour an aircraft visit to have a nosey round and open/close the doors. Finally also included a quick blast in the fire simulator donning personal breathing equipment and putting fires out.

Scandinavian Aviation Academy
 
Please, any feedback about the SAA?
How is the Ryanair assesment? and the MCC?
Among CAE, SAA makes this short of assesments for Ryan SSTR cadets.

Is there a pilot pool after the complection of the process?
Because on Ryanair´s webpage, says this:

(is there a difference between copilots and cadets?)



Pilot Recruitment Update - CO - PILOTS

Our First Officer training courses for 2006 are now fully subscribed. Our next First Officer training courses will commence in April 2007. We are currently inviting applications from 737 type rated First Officers looking to commence training courses from April 2007 onwards.

We have just 25 places left on courses for Captains this year. If you are interested in applying as a Captain please forward your CV to Applications are dealt with on a first come, first served basis. Type rating on the 737-800 is a decided advantage.Courses for cadets will commence in January 2007 at Ryanair approved schools. Applications should be made directly to the schools.


thanks in advance, and good luck!!!

Hey everybody

I have a question (of course :hmm: )
Recently I have been contacted bij CAE to do the assesment for ryanair. First I've got a day in Amsterdam for ATPL theory questions (MC) and an English test (multiple choice) and the day after a Sim grading on the Boeing 737-300 at CAE Brussel.
My question is, does anybody have an idea what to expect from the ATPL questions and the 733 ride? A lot of my school mates (CAE/NLS) also got invitations but for januari, they will recieve the technical assesment and the ride on the 732. So my way is a bit different. Anybody out there with experience concerning the ATPL and 733?
Thanks a lot!

Jinkster 29th Nov 2006 16:35

I'm offski to EMA on 11th Dec and then to CAE on 2nd Jan.

Cannot wait!!! :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:

HighLow 30th Nov 2006 21:40

Hi Guys and Girl
i have been spending time practising CLN 2B , and just have a question with regard to the plate at Luton.

Published Inbound NDB DME Track is 257degrees,
Everytime I track 257 on FS the Runway appears to my right when reaching MDA. For the people who have completed the assessment at EMA, did you find the same situation.

The magnetic track from the NDB to the runway on FS is actually 259...
tracking the 257 inbound on the East Midlands Sim, will this produce a similar result....

cheers

HighLow

Jinkster 30th Nov 2006 21:49

High Low,

When i did it in the sim - the runway appeared at 12 o'clock!!

I was pretty chuffed with that.

Perhaps FS2k4 isnt as accurate as the real thing - i wouldnt imagine that the sim at EMA is based on FS2k4!

Jinkster

piloto2006 13th Dec 2006 19:02

Where can I find a 737-200 simulator?
 
Please, Can you help me?
I have my assestment the 24th of January, and I don´t know where can I pactice.
What plate do you think that I´m going to perform?
Can you say me more or less the POWER SETTINGS?


Thank you!!

Fr Sim

Hi Piloto2006,
Scroll back a few pages, alot of your questions have been covered. Below is a post I made in response to someone else asking a similar question. They will give you all the power settings on the day, but the main one you need is about 1.25 EPR for level flight 230kts and about 4 degrees nose up attitude. Lots of guys go to Parc or rather Sim Tech in Dublin and use the sim there, i used Real aviation in Yorkshire http://www.realsimulation.co.uk/
Hope it helps.
Dan

Hi Embraer 195 & others,
I did the assessment at the end of Sept. The profile was the CLN 6B out of Luton on RWY 26. Establish onto the VOR at 4,000ft. Some general handling nothing too complicated. I got smoke in the toilet my sim partner got pax with a heart attack. Don't get to hung up on the check lists, what they are looking for is good comms between the PF & PNF and with the crew. NITS brief etc.... Remember to squawk 7700 etc.... and radio calls. Back into land on an NDB. I had no single engine stuff but did have to fly the hold and an entry. I know others who didn't. Just be prepared for doing it. If you're not familiar with the 737 get yourself in a sim. The sim at East Mids has an MCP like like you get on a 737-300, it will really help if you're familiar with this for the PNF role, as they look at your performance in both roles.
With regards to tech questions, these were based around aircraft flown: Seneca etc... And some basic stuff on NDB's and a couple of Met questions.
The instructors were all really friendly and relaxed, and I can honestly say I actually quite enjoyed it, better than being sat at home anyway!!
Good luck

piloto2006 13th Dec 2006 21:24

Do you know the other simulator addresses?
I preffer to go to Dublin because I´m from Spain and I think that is very dificult to me go to North Yorkshire, is there any airport near?

Do you Know where can I find the normal procedures of boeing 737-200 for the assessment?

Thank you very much.

easyflybywire 13th Dec 2006 22:31

Hi Piloto,

You can also find a 737-200 simulator in Belgium @ Brussels
Have a look at www.sfa.be and ask them.

Good luck

Change of SID
 
Hi all,

I had the assessment the 8th of Dec. Before I went I checked PPRuNe all time for the latest info.

Since it had been a great help for me, I want to continue the tradition. I must say that the posts here reflex pretty much what is done in EMA so nothing to add on that really.

The SID was different tough. It was a Compton 3B (CPT 3B). It starts the same as the CLN 6B. The climb was to 5000' and as a PNF I got a pax with a hardattack. As a PF I got bagage wich was not ok, so had to turn back to Luton. The approach was the same: to LUT, entry and then get established for the NDB/DME rwy 26.

Fortunatily it was good enough and I passed the assessment. I can start the course the 19th of Feb.

I you have a Q about it, I'll be happy to try and answer them.

Good luck for those that are awaiting and congrets for those who already made it.

Greetz Dutch

piloto2006 14th Dec 2006 05:30

Where do you perform the Sim training before to go to the assessment?
Where Can I find the normal procedures?
how was the interviews?

thank you very much!!

Parc Aviation Dublin
 
Piloto2006,
http://www.parcaviation.aero/
They have a 737-200 sim, contact them and they will give you a contact of someone at Sim Tech, who will sort you out. One word of warning, they will probably tell you that you need 4hrs etc... I personally think this is a little over kill at 250Euro's an hour. couple of hours should be sufficent unless yo are really struggling.
Also check your PM.

Dan98

PAPI-74 14th Dec 2006 18:38

Be very careful with Parc. Don't trust them as far as you could throw them. I did my MCC there and they (the instructors) fed me all sorts of Bull about potential sim rides and the majority of students have 20hrs on their sim prior to the Ryan Air Check.
One of their guys owns part of the sim, so it is a pocket lining exercise. All you need to be able to do is a SID, ILS and a few emergencies, maybe a hold. 20hrs my arse.
In fact, pay for a TR with no job at the end (happened to a mate of mine who paid for their TR 737), my arse. They claim to place 100% of their TR Grads. Phaww! what's that smell?

If you play the game of paying for it, be prepared to loose it. Do it the old fashioned way and instruct first, than the natural progression of TP. Why is everyone so keen to go straight to Jets and engage the Auto-pilot?
Enjoy those years working your way up the ladder. There are plenty of years to sit fat and happy watching a computer at work, so why spend another 25k getting there, or has FO changed to MUG these days.

Let me have it!!!!

Ryanair Sim Prep
 
Hi there
i was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find a sim to prepare for FR Sim Assesment?

Dublin one is no longer used ...so maybe anyone has a different idea?

Is there a chance to use the one in EMA ?

Cheers

Avadoo 20th Dec 2006 15:12

There's a 200 sim at 'realsimulation.co.uk' approx 1 1/2 hrs north of EMA
- by car that is!
The people there seem to do a good job preparing candidates for Ryan.

Good Luck.

A couple of Q's
 
Hi guys been reading this post with interest and was wondering if any of the luck could answer a few questions I have.

How long was it between you submitting your application through CAE and receiving a phone call for an interview. Have submitted about three weeks ago and still no news, although I do suspect that over the holiday season not much will be done.

Do hours have a bearing on how fast you are called up e.g I have 1300 hours with plenty of charter airline experience?

Any help or tips of advice most appreciated.

Regards

Rhodes13

Thank you

Hi

Does anyone know when you actually start getting PAID ?

Is it when you start line training or when you are cleared to line?

TJ

airbusito 30th Dec 2006 11:29

ei dudes! I have the interview on january, but I have some questions about it!
I know that the sim check is in Luton, but what charts do they use, Jeppesen, Atlas, the Aip??? how is the weather, i mean, wind? clouds? In the ndb app how is the visibility?? do you see the rwy on the minimuns or before?

In the technical assessment I know that they ask about the last airplane I´ve flown, but for example the last multi engine I flew was a Seneca two months ago, but since then, I´ve done a lot of single engine hours working, so what should I study, the Seneca or the SE??

And, to conclude, what kind of questiones do the ask in the interview?? Please tell me what they asked you exactly because I´ve never done any interview before so I dont know how to start preparing it...


Thank you very much

I am a First Officer in Ryanair and here is exactly how I am being payed in the first 12 months:

Type rating (4-6 WEEKS):

No pay

You then wait 2-4 weeks for base training without pay. After base training you are on the training contract basic rate for 6 months. This is an annual rate of 8700 pounds. However, you do not start getting payed this until after line training. Line training takes 2-3 months so you are therefore only payed on this rate for 3-4 months. Sounds complicated? It is purposely so.Not only that, but the company reduces this initial rate by 1000 pounds every year or so without notice. Next year you might therefore expect the rate to be 7700 pounds.

So, from the start of type rating until conclusion of line training you will only have earned about 750 pounds (half sector pay after safety pilot release and no basic salary yet).

About 3.5 months now remain until you finish your training contract. On the annual rate of 8700 (remember this will reduce eventually) you will earn 2530 basic in this time. Also, you will earn 2800 sector pay.

To sum up so far:

Day 1 to completion of line check ( 4 months) = 750 pounds

Line check to end of training contract (3.5 months) = 5330 pounds

Total after 7.5 months with the company = 6080 pounds.

It will now have been 6 months since base check. You will now go on the basic second officer terms. This amounts to a basic annual rate of 14000 pounds and half sector pay for a further 6 months.

In these 6 months you will therefore earn 7000 pounds basic and about 4800 pounds sector pay. This basic rate is also being reduced annually without notice.

Ok, here are the final figures (before tax) for the first 12 months after the base check:

Basic pay: 9530 pounds

Sector pay: 8350 pounds

Total: 17880 Pounds.

You can expect to remain on second officer pay scale for 18 months after line check. This will probably increase to a greater time period as time goes by.

737 200 sim sharing for ryaniar selection
 
Hi. To any of you guys with an impending selection day at ryanair. I am arranging a sim detail, probably at yorkshire simulation sometime in early feb. My selection is on 13th Feb. It costs £259 per hour. Do any of you want to pair up with me? We pay for an hour each and get the benefit of an hour's non handling time effectively for free? Can you post your response on this forum please. Cheers

nuclear weapon 19th Jan 2007 19:59

How did you fund the rating.
 
To those that have managed to get through the assesment which bank is very familier with this scheme or which local HSBC is good to talk to around london. Does ryanair give you a contract letter you can take to the bank.

Glyndo 19th Jan 2007 20:38

Cathay.
I would be happy to share with you. I've actually already booked a sim. Check your pm.
