Is there anyone who has done one recently who wouldnt mind filling me in on what to expect in terms of :
type of questions asked
type of questions on exam

Thanks.

Hi,

I had one a few years back, mostly tell me about a time where/when... type of questions and also had a technical exam with ATPL exam type of questions. Don't know if they still do it that way, best of luck.

Thanks to everyone for their pm's.

If anyone has any updates on FA including Sim Eval, I would appreciate it. Feel free to pm if you wish.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what they do in the sim evaluation?

[flyinggirl]

Mine was in the 737. I acted as PIC and also as the non-flying pilot for another candidate. They gave a sheet of paper with basic speeds and engine power settings. They wanted to see CRM and basic sop's. I cant remember exactly but I think I did some straight and level, steep turns, a hold and an ILS. Really basic with expectations not on how to fly the sim perfect, but rather how to communicate, basic ifr skills and basic memory on the speeds and power settings.
Hope that helps.

I believe they have been doing interviews and sim evals off and on since xmas. I think they've done one large round just after xmas and another small round just last month. They have either just finished or are just finishing an ATR course. Hope this helps.

Anyone know when the next round of interviews are going to be? I originally heard early May, but I don't think it happened.
