[move-in-on-up]

Anybody done this yet to give us a heads up?

The first day seems str8 forward enough, usual bull!

Grateful for a heads up on the sim check though it seems veiled in secrecy, cloaks and dagger stuff!

Regards

Fear not!

I attended the selection recently. I'm in the middle of writing a detailed document explaining various aspects of the day. I will of course post it here when I've completed it...

Cheers,

Lucky enough to get through day one! It was just as advertised on wannabes, thanks to the nice person who wrote that article. Does anyone know the profile for the loft exercise in the sim above and beyond the pitch/power settings and checks they give you? Much obliged!

Thanks for that expedite-climb! How long is it they did not say at The Rivers? What are they looking for, iIs it a chop ride or is it something else?

Havent time to write a full report on it now I'm afraid.

If you have done day one, you'll have the list of qualities they are looking for. Fairly obvious really, someone who can get on with someone they don't know in a cockpit to produce a safe outcome of an unusual situation, manual handling is just one of many things.

All in, including the briefing it lasts around 3 1/2 hrs, so prob 2 hrs (1 each) in the box.
