Also, the discontinued approach climb gradiënt is 2.1 %.

So which one should be used for this exercise (and why)?

The 2,5% I think since it's the standard climb gradient

Today I heard that I passed the interview. Next week I have my simulator session. Does somebody have some valuable information and tips what I can expect maybe? Would be really appriciated 😃

It's straight forward, you are on the runway , normal take-off with level off on the axis, then downwind base and final ILS followed by a go-around engine out level off.

It's a good atmosphere, they just wanna see your scan and how you handle the 737.

Have fun ! The Full Motion system is amazing :)

Hi, regarding the Sim, I have a question about the aircraft : if it is possible to fully configure before glide/loc capture to slow down things and ease the approach ? Would you do so ?
Thanks :)

You aren't expected to know how to do a low drag/low noise approach, that's more something for the line training. You will get a short but extensive briefing on power and pitch values and suggested configuration changes. There will be no surprise in the sim and they will do their best to make you feel at ease so you can give your best. Good luck.

As far as I can see here there is no reply for the psychotest.

The test occurs in Maastricht, expect full day ( 6 hrs ) , a lot of personal questions to start with followed by an interview with a Psy.
Then kind of IQ test : Spatial orientation, Planning , Math & Logical sequences ...
You end up the day with a communication skills' test ( talking to the cpt about your personnal feeling of the last flights ).

Cheers

Hello all, I went through the test in Maastricht recently.
I confirm what riegercar stated above.
For the communication test it is all about you, the decision is not what they are looking for but really how you come to this decision.This exercise takes 10min.
I was surprised by the level of difficulty of some psychometrics tests. Some are really doable (orientation : you have a map and have to tell where is a town located according to another location. Or you have a PFD and you have to find the corresponding aircraft attitude).
But then the capacity tests (IQ tests) were hard times for me.. Maybe I will be rejected because of that.. Did it happen to one of you ?

Then they grade every results, and write a summery of your performance. they send the report to you first to ask you for the authorisation to transmit it to ASL.
The report come with a recommandation for ASL to wich degree you can fit into an FO position (for instrance Favorable, neutral, defavorable).

Hope it helps.

Waiting for feedback
 

Hello zztyled, thanks for your reply.
I am surprised with your situation, it must be hard to wait all this time, I can't imagine 1 mounth and no feedback :( . You maybe have to check with them again by phone : when I was doing the interview in Maastricht I was told that the report should be available at the latest one week later.

For those wondering why the process takes a while. I personnally had to wait 3 weeks after having completed all stages before finally getting the news. Bear in mind that the boarding has to go through your entire report before making a final decision. Lots of candidates are being screened at the moment hence the long waiting time. Best of luck to everyone running for the job.

Hello. After the selection process, do ASLB declines a lot of people among those who passed the 4 steps ?
Or is there a waiting list for those who passed the tests but were not prefered for immediate employment ?
Cheers

Hello,

Anyone knows if they still hold interviews?
I applied mid/end December.

I dont't know for sure but I doubt it for the following mounth. What I can tell you is that in the moment the do not seem in a hurry to call for pilots.
Do someone here got recently offered a job at ASLB ?

How about this month?

Recruitment stopped, now there is an excess of FO's to cover upcoming upgrades and fleet transfers.

Dare I ask for any prospects regarding the near future, maybe the rest of this year? Next year? Any info on that, if you have it?

Thank you
