HK CX Sim Eval.
 

Hello everyone,

Well I have been selected for a second interview in HK. Can anyone tell me if the sim eval. is done from the right or left seat of the 747. I have some time comming up and would like to know which seat it's done in to practice properly.
The picture given in the information booklet show's the panel of the 747-200 from the right seat. Does this mean that all the rides are from this side?

Thanks in advance,

PUDDY

You will generally be given a choice. I suggest you sit in the seat you are most comfortable with. Ask the sim instructor on the day.

404 is correct. The choice is entirely up to you!

Yup your choice.

Before you go up know all those speeds/ profiles and calls inside and out ...verbatum.. practice practice practice, drive your workmates nuts as you are flying by calling them out while on dep/ app also practice rawdata hand flown ILS's as often as you can before your interview.

All these hints will help free up your metal capacity so you can concetrate on the flying of the sim, Its new its big and it does handle differently.

Best of luck

in the sim profile they send out the V2 speeds and Vref are not given. what are these speeds for the sim ride?
what are Cathay's standard calls/breifings?

Cathay's Attitude to practise Sim
 

It seems a practise sim is a good idea. As someone who would love to get even a first round interview with Cathay, I would suggest those of you who are lucky enough to go to HK... spend the money. Think about it this way... "if it was free.. would I do it"

In these matters. money shouldnt be a consideration.

One question though, What is the Cathay Recruitment Departments take on this. Do they ask you in the interview if you did the sim, should you volunteer the info anyway (to show you are keen). Do they view it as cheating??

Any info please..

Sim Profile...
 

Hello all...

Just wandering if any of you has a copy of the sim profile
on the 747-200.
And if so, would you be kind enough to forward a copy?

Thanx
