BTW,

DLR is one day long for ready entry pilots. If you see references to the two day variation, this is the BU which is for Lufthansa cadets with no prior experience.

@KT

thanks, did you do the DLR for LHI, so yes, when?

And a question about KRN-Mental Arithmetic, do you receive a pen and paper, or is it 100% mental?

Did the GU for CLH (Lufthansa Cityline) in 2008. On that day we had no mental arithmetic but did have a simple applied maths test. I think we did have pen and paper for that.

As far as I know, DLR put together batches of test for each client. Can't imagine LHI will be significantly different to any other within the group and a pass at one is normally recognised by the other companies within LH (Sadly the same goes for a fail too!).

Just in case anyone has failed to get the message, the DLR is a ONCE ONLY test for ready entries (although, if you fail the BU you can have one other try as a ready entry).

Thanks KT for the replies, I tried the pencil thing and it seems to be working

Any chance you know what the average score for the cue rotation is? The level 2 and 3 seems very difficult to keep up with, as the pace of her voice is just too quick. In addition how strict were they on the hand gestures rule? can you twiddle your thumbs under the desk, lets say

Can anybody please inform us (who has been very recently) if there was Maths and Physics tested.

Any info on what are "good" scores would be great. Although, I assume everybody is just guessing.

My scores vary from 100% on some tests (level one) to about 70% on some tests (level 3). Running memory is about 25% (an average of about 4 digits).

If you are looking for actual information go to Pilotenboard.de :: DLR-Test, Lufthansa, AUA, ... :: Infos, Ausbildung, Erfahrungsberichte :: Index. This is a site dedicated to the LH selection at all its stages!

Don't waste time asking what a good score is etc. The only people who know for sure aren't going to tell you. On the day you will have no idea what tests you are going to get. We had at least two which were supposedly obsolescent. DLR also use the tests as a research tool and it is quite possible you will have tests that aren't even assessed but run in parallel until they establish a fair pass mark. Just relax and stay flexible.

hi,

solved the problem extracting the file.
Just go to the parent directory, until you get on the web page, then choose coaching portal and follow the link on top of the page:

If your DLR assessment is conducted in English language, please click here for appropriate coaching material.

You have it then under Lufthansa.

Cheers,
a

Hey all,

The LH Italia HR people contacted me today. They were looking for a copy of my second level school diploma and a copy of my university degree.
Just wondering if this is routine? Have any of you been asked for this and then offered a selection place?
Thanks,
M85

Did you guys get more info regarding the ATPL quizz? I've got the Ace book but there's a lot of things in it.

I waited for 9 months before i received my invitation. The day I applied Italian was mandatory, i am not sure if that's still mandatory or if they prefer it.

Hello,

For those who went recently to the DLR test, is it permitted to use pen and paper for the mental calculations?

Kind regards

You are not given a pen and paper for any part of the LHI DLR.

@Tarzanboy.

I'm the first to admit that DLR is far from perfect but during our induction week (LH Regional) we were shown a slide with the results of a study into the outcomes of pilots according the various criteria.

Basically the study looked at at how various factors were related to success, as measured by achieving satisfactory recurrent check grades.

Top of the list were aptitude tests with a 50% effectiveness. This compared with hours flown which was only a 10% predictor of success. Interviews were also quite low in the list.

I'm afraid I see absolutely no evidence to suggest that the DLR test is irrelevant, in fact quite the opposite.
