KLM - Ready Entry
 

The old KLM thread has unfortunately been closed over some meaningless discussion so I hope to open a new more constructive one.

Is there any information what fleet to expect as a new joining ready entry FO at KLM at the moment? Their job offering just says "experienced pilot". No mention of long haul or short haul.

Any information what one may expect is highly appreciated.

Whatever they have open training slots for around your estimated starting date.

Latest additions to the seniority list have been a complete mix of FO Embraer Cityhopper, FO 737, FO A321N, SO 777/787 and SO A330. All those positions have the same basic pay, but obviously different schedules.

If you are lucky they may offer a choice because multiple training slots for different types are open, or you just get assigned one. You can bid for another fleet as soon as 6 months after joining I think though (it might be 12 months, not 100% sure).

Thank you for the heads-up! Do you know if there is a chance to retake the assessment in case of failure at some stage after some time or is it a one shot thing?

In the past it used to be “one shot only”, but now you can re-take the assesment after two years as far as I know.

Interview preparation
 

Anyone knows or has a website where I can prepare for the interview ?

Or at least the first part, online assessment ?

They are apparently using an AON Assessment.

Can someone help ?

www.mytarget.nl is a captain B737 that has courses to prepare for the interview, good luck!

Thank you very much !

Any other tips are welcome. Maybe which website more or less has the same AON online Assesment ?

Hi, did you receive the invite for AON already?
I'm still awaiting mine...

I prepared AON for a different airline with PASS pilot assessments and it was very accurate.

How about the Dutch language requirement? How strict are they?

If you apply as a non-Dutch speaker it is clearly described on the job advert. They expect you to learn A2 after joining and B1 is required for a possible captain upgrade.
If you apply as a Dutch speaker you will do the selections in Dutch I think. And good luck with passing any pilot selection in a foreign language you are not fluent in.

They closed the non-dutch vacancy a long time ago, so with the current vacancy they do require you B1 dutch level. If you applied to the non-dutch speaking vacancy in the past then indeed there is no requirement to speak dutch. However they offer classes to learn dutch and for the captain upgrade B1 dutch is required.

Is there ayone who applied as non-Dutch speaking this January and got any news?

I did, they asked to send some more documents and gave a timeframe of 4-6 months for the next steps

https://www.pilootselectietraining.nl/ I can recommend! I used it for my preparation for the entire assessment which was very accurate for a fair price.

messaged you with some questions :)

Hey together,
i wanted to asked you if someone already passed the KLM process and have some informations about it.
I saw on pilot assessment.com as well a preparation for the process but you all recommend the website which was posted here?
Thanks!

I passed the selection last year so let me know if you have any questions! Regarding the preparation I used both www.pilotassessments.com and www.pilootselectietraining.nl and what I noticed is that pilotassessments.com is quite basic for the KLM module and does not have a lot of practice materials nor explanations for the AMC. While pilootselectietraining.nl is quite detailed and offers a complete preparation for the capacity tests (syllogism, analogies, number series, figure series) and mathematics, it offers explanations with a lot of practice questions plus a very handy role play / interview module which pilotassesments.com doesn't have.

I was called to undergo assessment last month. I had applied as non-Dutch speaker almost 1.5 years ago, Boeing fleet.

I passed the AON assessment and I am now invited to schedule an appointment in Amsterdam with AMC. Does anyone have any details about the AMC phase of the assessment? How many days will we be there and what will the assessment consist of.

AMC is one day where you will make some computer tests while they call you in for interview and role play exercise.

For me PASS pilotassessments contained all for the online and AMC assessment including role play, reasoning, math and COVA interview.
It was this prep: https://pilotassessments.com/klm-roy...ot-assessment/

I passed the assessment, so I can highly recommend it and now doing the type rating.

Any questions, feel free to ask!
