Last week assessment
 

Hello chaps, just did the assessment... hope it might help:

HR interview

• How did u get interested in aviation?
• Why are you here?
• Talk me trough your resume
• Why do you want to work with/for us? (HR dude is going to ask you this one!)
• Can you tell me some RYR routes out of London?
• How do you see yourself in 5/6 years from now?

Technical interview:

• Advantages and disadvantages of a swept wing
• Why swept wing has low lifting capability @ low speed and how do we solve this issue?
• Why do we fly high and fast? What is engine efficiency?
• Coffin corner/At constant TAS what happen to IAS/CAS in a climb?
• Why don't we fly fast all the way down the RWY?
• How many seats RYR 737?
• Do we have Winglets? Are they useful?
• Electrical system of your last multi flown
• What's an INS? What's the differences with a GPS?
• Basic principle of a turbofan engine and basics differences compared to a gas turbine engine
• Explosive decompression and TUC

If there's anything else I can remember I will update the lists. It has been underlined several time, each candidate will have a different set of questions, especially as far as the technical interview is concerned.

Sim session:

• Out of RWY 27 EGGP/LPL on WAL2T
• On level off, turning climb/turning decent/accelerations/decelerations
• Climb out @ 1000 ft/min 240kts and decent @ 1000 ft/min 240kts
• Smoke in the cabin degenerate in fire
• Steep turns
• Procedural/vectored NDB/DME rwy 27 EGGP and go around as per missed app. brief strip
• Procedural/vectored ILS app (possible go-around)
• Visual land

Sim session is pretty standard, speaking of emergency you can have either the smoke or the engine failure.
Good luck!!
Cheers

I'd take a rain check on this gig....

Buttering sandwiches at 4am 5 days in a row....fly 8 hrs in a space just about large enough to squeeze out your tea bag.

Yea your right

average 4200euro over 12 months as F/O, month off, 4 days off every 5 on with maybe only 3 or 4 actuly flying! then another 10 days off as and when, safe aircraft, nice young girls to cook the dinner I had to buy or cook so I know whats in it, very large network to fly home for free on should you not be based by your house, sucks! :ok:

green and brown grass all over, we can all bleet the brown and forget the green, not very accurate though is it! :=

Yeah a lot of people say the same......4000-6000 gross a month as F/O is normal I accept. But do the maths.....you are paid for scheduled block time.

You're not paid a penny for the 1 month off and the extra 10 ad hoc days off. You're not paid a penny for the 4 days off after working 5 on.

you can easily do 12 hours if you're in the crew room at 4.30 to be off block at 6....but you land at 3 and leave the crewroom at 4. It's often about 12 hours 5 days a week which means your working 60 hours a week.

Now you have no pension which is huge, also if you break your leg skiing you won't get a penny until it mends. If you get diabetes you'll never see another check.

You can have private loss of license and pension but if you take the price away from your 4200 you'll have nothing left.

Hmmm,what is it?:p

Well an early start is standard in this industry and the 738 cockpit is actually not too bad compared to some, have you seen a learjet one?

8 hours flying 5 days in a row!!! which base are you in? i must get a transfer!

RYR Selection
 

blackred and the other haters will be how can i put it delighted....

Has anyone who attended any of the Ryanair assessments last week ending the 30th April received a call regarding their results?

Just wanting to gauge the time it takes for them to call back with the news.

Thanks

Hi

Yes I went to Stansted last week (29th).

And today I received a phone call to say that I passed the assessment and I'm starting the 5th of July in EMA and the Type rating the 19th of July in AMS.

Regards

Congrats mate you won't regret it. PM me if you need any info. I am a happy F/O in RYR !

I applied via CAE and SAA about 4 weeks ago, how long does it take for a reponse if any?

I've applied 6 months ago and still nothing.....:confused::(

Think after 6months you can class your application as dead!

did you call them to follow up? if not, just apply again to CAE or something.

I guess it all depend on your experience! There are pretty experience pilots without a job applying for cadet program!

"Think after 6months you can class your application as dead!

did you call them to follow up? if not, just apply again to CAE or something. "

I'm afraid that you are right. I applied via OAA Stockholm and CAE
Lady from OAA told me that i need to wait 12 months to reaply for the programme. She will not tell anything else.(Claims that she does not know).
The worst thing is that i went MCC at OAA and I can not say that they are willing to help. On the contrary. :ugh:

Anyone shed any light on this comment? I cant find this information on cae or saa....

• A maximum of 1 failure of all flight tests, (only 1 repeat of any of the flight tests)
• A maximum of 1 failure of all ATPL written exams, (only 1 repeat of any of ATPL written exams)
• No re assessments for Cadets

Taken directly from a service provider training cadets for RYR

Never heard that before, I know your ATPL results say how many attempts you have had on them but where does if ever say you failed a flight test?

I have failed a couple in the past on FAA and would never be able to prove this unless I told someone I think?
