You can use paper and pencil ONLY for the maths problem test!
I used the DLR CBT for one month, every day, one time for exercise... and for the MIC another software... it was not easy but when you will go for the test, for sure you'll be more self-confident!!!
I agree with sun shines every day, you have to find your way in order to make each exercise comfortable for you!

Good luck

Thanks for those very nice informations! I am preparing with Skytest everyday around 90min.

I feel more confident reading this and hope that I will be called soon!

Thank guys . If anyone is going for the sim assessment please let us know and would be nice if share the feedback .

Question regarding the DLR test. In the Skytest app they make us practice calculations of different type that doesn't look really important for a Pilot. Are those type of calculations asked at the real DLR test?

They are not part of the DLR GU test. Unless you are not bothered doing them just to refresh some old school stuff. Mental Arithmetics are very important, though, where the majority of people struggle the most.

Good Luck and keep on practicing. I am in the same boat as you.

Ok ok !

Yes best of luck for you too !

HI ,

I'm not sure if you can help me with this one but is there a trick behind the cube folding test ? :ugh:

In my test I didn't have this exercise!

I hope so hehe.

I have an invitation to the Eurowings "Basic Testing" next month, but it's quite difficult to find a lot of information about it.
From the DLR preparation downloads that are provided I assume that it's the normal DLR GU? But then again I wodner why they'd rename it to "Basic Testing" in that case.

@Fieldins
You said that cube folding (PPT) was not part of your test, however, the test is in the preparation folder? Or maybe they did another kind of testing back then, right now I'm a little confused as in what tests to actually expect.

@Aves88 In my test I had all of the ex in the cbt except PPT. Plus ATPL and CRM questions!

Hey everyone! I got my invitation 😃. Anyone else invited to the 21st of April selection (Basic Testing)? Does anyone know how many phases of selection there are, and what the timespan is? I read in a 2015 post 4 phases. Is it still up-to-date?

@Aves88: when did you send your DLR Affirmation form?

For dlr physics you can use vimana software,
for rest use skytest and dlr cbts together,
at first few days your scores will be low but after the first week they rise quite high.
Preperation is the key, do all the modules at least once every day.
If you like the terrible translations of google translate and need some tactics, you can check "http://forum.airporthaber.com/forumdisplay.php?f=291".
Very good tactics to score high for the modules of dlr1.

I also believe dlr 2 is about preperation.
I would suggest you to ask questions to yourself as if you were from human resources.
Ask questions as much as possible.
Try to find solid reasons to possible questions.

@Fieldins
You mentioned your test was in English though, right? Did everyone have the tests in English or could you choose?

@Inverted21
From what I read it's still 4 phases.
1) DLR GU (or similar)
2) Sim-Screening
3) Single (and possible group) tests plus that bridge loading test.
4) Interview

3) and 4) should be in consecutive days though. So theoretically you could count as either 3 or 4 phases.

@Miambin
A week or two before christmas I think. I applied back in September 2015.

@Ihatemondays
I don't think there's a physics test. Normally the physics test is substituted by the general ATPL test for ready entries.

Yep, you can choose. HAM for the English test, ZRH and VIE only German!

Is there anyone of you already flying for EWE?

If yes, any further Information would be highly appreciated. E.g. Is ID-Travel possible, How many sectors do you guys fly per month in average... ?

Thanks :)

@Aves88, Thanks!
You said "next month" in march, so I will probably see you in HAM on the 12th of April?

Also regarding flyhigh788: what was your timespan from DLR GU until starting date?

Hi! Is there anyone that went the last FEB. to DLR ASSESMENT that can give us a good feedback?

Also any of you know if in MENTAL ARITHMETIC is possible to use pen and paper? Or just only in MATHEMATICS?
Thanks in advanced!

MENTAL ARITHMETIC is Mental! ;) no paper no pen! (like for ALL the tests) you have on the desk, the monitor (touch screen) and a joystick! On your side, you will have the headphones (to use ONLY when they'll tell you).
The only test with paper (2 and you can request more if you need) and pencil (they will give you) is Mathematics (RAG)and you will have this test after the lunch break (in my case).

The day has been like this:

ATPL questions
SKT
VLR

10 mins

ROT
RMS
Psyco Question

10 min

VMC
CRM
KRN

Lunch (1h)

RAG
ENS
OWT
MIC

Finish at 16:15

Good luck guys!
