The sim screening lasts around 2 hrs, the first part is around 1h15' and you'll be flying raw data IFR, the second part (after a 10' break) is an MCC exercise that lasts 20-30'.
Part 1: IFR departure, general handling to get used to the aircraft (turns, climbs descents), then you'll be told to join the hold somewhere. After you enter the hold you'll be performing an ILS approach to go around followed by radar vectors for a non precision approach to land.
Everything is flown a/p off, a/thr off and f/d off, with rose NAV/ILS.
There will be no failure, but if you are B737 rated you'll be doing a non precision followed by an ILS with circle to land instead.
LHI will give you LIDO approach plates and sim profiles before the sim screening (including pitch/power settings), however the plates are only to get used to them, they might not reflect the actual airport used in the sim detail. (In my case it was HAM).
The sim partner (a LH trainer) will seat on the other seat and will act as a robot, he will only do what you tell him to (example: atc tells you to change freq, he will reply but not change freq unless you tell him to).
The brefing will explain how everything works, and they will be playing no tricks.
Part 2: it will be a LOFT scenarios, the sim partner will become human and you'll be using all the automations you want (they don't expect you to be proficient flying the a/c, it is all about decision making and crew co-operation).
You'll find yourself crusing at FL 300-340 over nothern Italy, something will happen (non tech, most likely a medical emergency) that requires you to divert. Wx at en-route diversions is not the best, some airfield will have CB, others will require a circle to land...
They want you to enter a decision making process with the sim partner, go through a briefing and descend towards the airfield (the sim will stop before you get there, once the decision to divert is made).
In my case the captain was trying to test my decision making, for example:
once we were told by a cabin crew that the SCCM collapsed in the front galley, he told me that it was likely to be nothing serious, just too many drinks the night before (my reply: yes, most likely, but let's ask if there is a doctor onboard,and let's get some wx for diversion....just in case!)..doctor found and diversion needed.
Then we planned for a circle to land, he said he hasn't done one in ages and felt most confident landing with tailwind....with 15 kts tailwind! Obviously can't do it and I tried to reassure him that I was more than happy to fly a circling since I am used to them.
This second part of the sim, as I said, is all about making a decision together about the best course of action... but expect to be questioned by your sim partner if you still think that's a good idea.... it's test after all!
Best of luck
Ricky

Hi Speedbrakesdeployed,
I've been contacted by Ms Doris last month (by phone then email) for an assessment on 15th of October (for direct entry FO A319). I am still not sure about the content of the first day. According to previous threads of this topic, I expect only the following:
ENS-English
KRN-Mental Arithmetic
OWT-Perceptual Speed
RMS-Running Memory Span
ROT-Cube Rotation
SKT-Concentration
VLR-Spatial Orientation
MEK-Visual Memory (new test)
Could you please confirm the program of this first day (somebody who had recently passed this assessment for LHI)?

Other comment about RMS (Running Memory Span), I heard the required score is about 80%. My top score is stuck at about 20%. I really doubt that someone can memorize up to 25 digits and restore them in opposite order (by using memory only).
If yes, I'll give them my pilot job because they are really amazing people!

VMC/MEK
the RMS standar average is something above 4,8 numbers per round.
a total of 25% is a "humble" average score to pass.
ricky-godf:
thank you very much for your information!!! may i pm you to ask you some doubts i still have in my mind?
by the way...did you pass the sim screening?
thanks!!!

Thank you IMRPOVED CLIMB,
My mistake about Visual Memory... So to summarize the content of DLR Day 1 for LHI this year (sept-oct 2010):
ENS-English
KRN-Mental Arithmetic
OWT-Perceptual Speed
RMS-Running Memory Span
ROT-Cube Rotation
SKT-Concentration
VLR-Spatial Orientation
VMC-Visual Memory (new test)
No RAG, no TVT (reserved for ab-initio only) and MEK replaced by VMC.
I suppose there are some ATPL questions (for Direct Entry), could you confirm IMRPOVED CLIMB?

I would be surprised that there is no RAG and no TVT as those exams are in the training CBT. I think it has been some confusion about it due to the coment of AZdriver who passed the DLR last year, and as he said, last year there was no RAG and TVT.
Nobody, so far, has given any feedback about the DLR 2010 and it would be very nice to have one.
Thanks

I can confirm from a very recent assessment for LHI that there is no TVT or RAG only mental arithmetic. There is a 39 question ATPL test though, not too hard, suggest reading through Ace the technical pilot most of it in there.

CBT Problems
Hi guys.
Am I the only on who is having problems extracting the CBT? I can't extract ENS, SKT, RMS and KRN. Everything else is no problem. Tried both winzip and winrar, says the files are corrupted.

Hi Alkor,
For me, it took more than 1 year. In fact, I applyed for the first time at LHI last year.
And last month, I was invited for an assessment in next october for direct entry (already type rating on A320 and speaking a basic Italian)

crc error
hi again,
anyone solved the problem extracting files.
and one more question, have you considered your stay in Hamburg. I guess the
best option would be airport Hotel.
Cheers,
a

I've tried to contact DLR through their homepage but that doesn't seem to work either. Anyone had some luck with these files?
The airport hotel seems to be the closest so probably a good choice.
