CX expects you to do a sim practice before you come in for the interview? Its ok if you are used to big jets, but if a GA guy it can be tuff.
Do a search on it plenty of info!

I have to confirm the last post, if you have jet time follow the profile, if you don't a practice is absolutely essential.

From memory flaps 1 and 5 can run out at 275kts. I'm pretty sure gear speeds are placarded somewhere in the cockpit, I can't remember them, but gear goes down one dot high on the G/S so your speed has to be back by then anyway.

There is a huge cockpit picture in the briefing room where you can read all the placards before you get in.

Good luck - the big jet was great fun.

The exact profile should be in your package you receive from CX by Fedex.

An exact profile on T/O, speeds, flaps, etc !

good luck !
