EasyJet 747 400 sim and tech questions
 

Someone out there that would be so kind to give me some advise on what act.lly takes place during the sim test and what airports are used.
I also have no idea on the technical questions. I would be gratefull if someone could help me out. :ugh:

Have easyJet got Boeing 747-400s? I don't think so.

There was a good April fools joke going around a few years back that U2 would wet lease a 747 classic.

easyJet use the 747-400 sim at Burgess Hill for their sim assessments as it can be flown 'raw data' with all of the computer thinks switched off.

I believe that it follows the standard sim assessment profile. Raw data take-off and clean-up. Raw data handling. Procedural approach and raw data ILS and go-around. You will be sent the power settings, attitudes, checklists and calls prior to the detail.

Good Luck

Use only Thrust levers 2 & 3 to make it more realistic.

Any sim can be used in raw data!!! Why does it have to be a B747? However, it is good fun to try, for whatever a/c you are being recruited on. A pilot is a pilot. I'm sure any PPL has dreamed of the day of hearing the PA; "is there a pilot on board".

You'll get a full brief, in enough time to learn all you need to know, before the assessment.

Otherwise, as mentioned, just a generic check-out of basic flying and non-technical skills - you ought to be able to recognise which are under more scrutiny here!

Tech quiz is multi-choice and fairly generic for airline interviews - a moderate amount of basic prep on tech subjects should set you up for the quiz, however there is a technical aspect to the interview so learning the 'questions' beforehand won't help there.

There are no tricks or traps, it may be cliche but the best advice really is valid - just be yourself.

I do apologise; I had no idea that easyJet would have the pretention to use a Boeing 744 simulator for folks destined to fly twin-engined medium jets.

BA now also use their 744 sims to test out pilots for their twin-engined medium jets, (the BAC 1-11 has gone!)

There is a good chance of LPL sids, as they stop a 4k to keep the px on from the 3 clean up. Fly the atitudes carefully, rough set the thrust and use your p2 for fine tuning. work well as a team, help each other out. Aim to improve over the session. It will be over in a flash.

Get the CX books for tech question advice.

The number of engines has nothing to do with the assesment you are only being asessed on your raw flying skills, therefore the a/c type and number of engines is irrelavent.

Quite right; silly me; I consider myself well and truly b*llocked. I have learned nothing in the last 50 years.

By the way, the word you are striving for is "irrelevant".

But really tho... they are looking for basic flying skills and good crm. What difference does it make to fly a 747 or a Dash 8, back on the stick is up, forward on the stick is down, left and right is self explanatory.

Its a bloody simulator and its no harder to fly a 747 rawdata than a friggin 1-11

Cheers, if I could spell I'd have a real job doing something usefull!
