For the assessment procedure the paperwork states for a go-around:
# Call ‘Go-around, Flaps Fifteen’ (GA, F15o). The PM will select the Flaps to 15o # Push the Thrust Levers towards maximum thrust (full arm length action required on the Thrust levers). # Then immediately put both hands on the control column. The PM will set the Thrust to 90% N1. # Pitch up and fly 140 knots minimum. (VflyF30o=V2 F15o). On a Boeing “the speed you fly in is the speed you fly out” (assuming Flaps are re-configured) # Next call ‘Gear Up’. The PM will select the Gear up. # Maintain 140knots & F15o until levelling off. The Flap retraction schedule is the opposite to the extension schedule (above)…..at 150 knots call ‘Flaps 5o’…at 170 knots, call ‘Flaps 1’o and at 190 knots call ‘Flaps up’. Once you call for ‘Flaps up’ you are responsible for the Thrust Levers. Does anyone have any experience of how this happens in the assessment? Cheers! |
Single push of TOGA commands a 2000fpm climb on the flight directors and autothrottle. Push twice and you get full welly. Often confuses people who wonder why they've apparently not got full thrust and then try and push the thrust levers up. Let them do their stuff.

Thanks 'driver - I'm aware of what happens for a standard NG G-A but I was specifically asking about the RyanAir assessment. ie No FDs, MP selects 90% after an initial 'extended arm' from the HP, but then - it appears from the blurb sent out prior to the assessment - that the thrust is not moved from this position until 'flaps up' is called.
If this is true then I would expect that, for a 2000' level off eg Liverpool, it would be very difficult to level off and subsequently raise the flaps to Flap 1 without shooting through 220kts if you were not supposed to touch the power before calling 'flaps up'. Does anyone know if this IS exactly how they expect people to fly it - or is some thrust reduction prior to this point considered reasonable? Thanks |
LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT FROM ALL YOU GUYS LOOKING AT HANDING OVER €27500 plus costs
Two posts from a Ryanair thread ----------- Uk based FO doing 4 flights in November on Brookfield contract and wondering how I'm going to pay my bills! I suppose it might suit the young free and single but the prospect of a base move or another winter like last fills me with dread. I'd love a salary and a bit of security don't know about the rest of you? Nick --------------- Here here Nick, same up here in Scandinavia, 4 days work in November. The December paycheck is going to be interesting, thanks for a bumper xmas FR ! ps. 5 new cadets started in the last few weeks, just as the reduced winter schedule kicked in, nothing against these cadets, but wtf ? better get cracking on that EK app.... |
Anyone going to the FR assessment on the 18th November? If so PM me.

Hi guys!
Just got the call from SAA. Anyone going to the assessment on 17th november? bye! |
17th
me on the 17th.....where do you going to stay?
|
Can anyone on this thread please tell me where they did there MCC. I am wondering whether it is worth the while trekking over to Sweden's Bfsaa/CAE route. In the hope of getting an interview on the back of the course or to just sit tight. Complete an MCC at a cheaper school on something like a King Air and practice later on a jet sim nearer to an assessment?
Thanks P.s I have thoroughly searched this site and have found many posted touching upon this subject but nothing of any use... -J |

I heard that new cadets have to pose for the RyanAir calendar in addition to the flight attendants. Is this part of the new contract? Can anyone substantiate this rumour?
|
Thanks JiffaJaffa
When going through this procedure in the Sim it all appeared to happen quite quickly from level off to 220kts (as the breifing say's fly at 220kts unless told otherwise) and I would have thought it prudent to reduce power as the level off is commenced - however, as you say, the 'keep both hands on the control column until flaps up' instruction is quite clear. Thanks again. LC |
My recent assessment with RYR was very fair and straight forward compared to other assessment practice I have seen.
No computer games, no psychologists who try to argue with you and not inviting 100 guys while at the end accepting 2. Very positive impressions remain from Ryanair in contrast to what is being bashed on them on this forum from time to time. The interview puts focus on ATPL knowledge as well as english level and personal questions. The sim session was well briefed beforehand and the chief pilot was very helpful explaining what he wanted to see and assisting those unfamiliar with the 738. The session lasted long enough to perfom an SID, an ndb appr, an ils appr (both ended up with go arounds at minimum) and a visual approach (they let me do it single engine). At some point a problem arised in the cabin that would promt a nits briefing and a max rate descent / return back to the airport in due time. The "flight attendent" will ask the "captain" for the actions - forwarding the problem to the PM will not work.. Some TCAS action is possible too. You can choose from which seat you want to be the PF. There wont be any comments on how you performed at the end. Its been 2 weeks now and I havent heard from them yet - but as they said it may take some time. Good luck for your assessment ... |
