I did the assessment today. It's basically what you see in that link. Always worth to have a few practice sessions.
Also doubles up as good practice for Ryanair as it's the same, just no math

Guys and girls,
What are interview questions? Look forward to hearing from you

First part: 1 test

Questionnaire of 241 questions about your behavior, your life style, how you interact with people and how they interact with you. No time limit, no wrong or right answers just be yourself, being as honest as possible.

Second part: 10 tests

Verbal Reasoning: you are given with different statements about a industry company and you have to say if the statement is true, false, or cannot say. 49 statements, in 12 minutes, of course nobody can complete all 49 in that time limit.

Applied Numeracy: You are given 4 sets of 5 questions divided by topic. First topic is Unit Conversion, second topic is Rules of Three with simple calculation if you know basic formulae of geometry and physics, third topic is Percentage Calculation where you have to calculate percentage, and I don’t remember the fourth topic. You can use non programmable calculator, don’t worry.

Spatial Orientation: Very nice one, didn’t miss one I think. You have a gyro compass and an ADF pointer. The gyro is indicating your heading and the ADF is oriented on the north. You need to understand how the aircraft is oriented in respect to the station. Don’t worry, the heading normally is N S W or E, in order to reflect the 4 choice buttons. Then you have 8 positions around the station and you have to press the one that reflects your position. I think 3 minutes time limit.

Situational Behavior: No time limit, no right or wrong answers. How do you behave in different situations. You must assign dots to the statements.

Work related behavior: No time limit, no right or wrong answer How do you behave in a working environment. Questions about teamwork. With these kind of questionnaire try to be as much as coherent you can be.

Multitasking: Three task to complete at the same time. 5 minutes time limit. You have different figures and if you see a triangle pointing left or right you must press on the left or right arrow respectively. In the meanwhile you have to say if the Mathematical equation Is correct or not and if the sequence of numbers below the equation has any repeating number or not.

Complex Control: Flying through a tunnel with increasing speed. Requires a good mouse and fluidity of the frame rate.

Reaction Time: you are given two figures changing every second. When both figures are the same you need to click. Didn’t miss any actually, 5 minutes time limit.

Logical Reasoning: I think the most difficult one. You have columns and lines with different figures and you need to understand what is the missing figure in the grill. It is like a sudoku but with images.

Video Interview: 5 standard questions, you have one minute preparation time and 3 minutes recording, you can try the recording three times, not more. Questions were like difficult situations to cope, teamwork, priority of tasks.

hope to have been helpful guys!

In the Logical Reasoning part, Did all of them have the same dimensions I mean they were all 4x4 or 5x5, or there were a mix of all of them?
Also in the applied numeracy, they said you can have your own calculator, or is in the system? and can you have a paper to write something on it?

Regards and Thank you so much!

As long as they ask us to perform it at the home I can consider we can use whatever we need calculator or sth else, they are not spying on us through the webcam I hope :)

I see your point, but if you look at the application criteria for direct entry, it says previous Multi Crew experience or 500hr+, hence its called Direct Entry Recruitment

Actually, when they brought their roadshow to my ATO, they said they specifically want low hours to apply as they like to mould you into the type of pilot they want you to be. I know plenty of guys fresh out of their Integrated courses who got selected in the last recruitment drive. Better yet, if you’re a female.

I also did the test today using the link above (Airline Assessment Prep) which contains all the tests. It was very helpful.

I used a calculator for the Math Test.

Overall, not too hard but worth practicing a little bit beforehand.

Interview Questions

Has anyone got the video interview questions??

Flexone - I tried sending you a PM. Your inbox is full so it won't let me send the message. Clear your inbox and I'll send it to you! :ok:

==============================

Until you have a posting history you don't have access to private messaging and adding urls.

Hi guys and girls, please I need your feedback on these 2 points:
- we have 7 days to complete the online assessment, I received the mail on monday afternoon so I can do it on next monday morning or only until sunday? how do you count the 7 days?
- for those who already took the test : is it possible to split the test into 2 : for ex today the personality test and tomorrow the other stage? In the mail they wrote " if possible you should complete them in one sitting". If in total it takes more than 2 hours I would need to split it....
Thanks a lot and good luck !!

Before you submit the videos, you get a practice recording to make sure everything is set up right and that you are happy with how it works. You can use this time to have a go at talking into the camera and getting yourself used to it.

You can also fill in the blanks in the symbol-sudoku. Meaning you don't even have to use paper. I found some of them quite challenging.

1) I can't say for sure but I'd advise to do it the safer way, like our profession teaches us to.
2) You may split part1 and part2 indeed. So do the psychological test one day (taking approximately 30mins) and the cut e another (took me about two hours but I took 5mins break often)

Good luck! Hoping to see you guys in Dublin!

Do you know how many pilots they are looking for?

Any feedback about the video interview? What are the questions like?

It was 5 questions
Tell me about a time you were under a stressful situation and how you behaved.
One was when you were working or project alone (didn't specify how alone)
One when you were under stress and had to cope with someone else
How you prioritize tasks
And another one that was with working in a team but I don't remember exactly the wording

While I'd love to work for them I'm pretty realistic that these positions are for the ex-tcx or some airline experienced folks (rated or NTR)
Are Lingus is a seniority airline, everyone with 200hrs total or 2000 Airbus hours starts at the same level.

It's one question and you have to speak for at least 3 min of each one? making a total on 15min ? they tell you if they need to be aviation related or it doesn't matter?

Doesn't have to be aviation related. There's a maximum of 3 min on these questions, but you can stop the recording after the minimum time for answer has elapsed (something like 1 min 10 sec or so). Good luck!
