hi everyone,
I'm in need of some advice. I'm in the search for my first job and have been in contact with a couple companies, one of which is going to do a Sim evaluation on the candidates that meet the requirements for entry ground staff and FO's. He mentioned that the Sim would be to evaluate the IFR skills. Now I have my multi ifr and everything but just enough to get the rating which was about a month ago. It's all pretty fresh still but I really want to do good in the Sim if I'm at least chosen to participate.
I have Microsoft flight Sim and do a lot of procedures/ approaches/ holds as much as I can. (i just grab an approach plate from wherever and do as many as I can) I also rent a 172 which I take once and awhile and do some simulated IFR stuff. Also, I read the RAC occasionally and try to stay as current as possible.
Is there anything else that can help me out or material I can look at.

Re: Sim Evaluation
Depends on the company and what kind of type you will be flying, but some companies are looking for crew co-ordination in the sim eval as well. How well do you communicate with the other pilot? You probably won't know the company SOP's but make sure you talk things through ex. Approach and hold briefs. I'd also expect some kind of emergancy and/or engine failure.
The other thing to consider is jumping in a sim for an hour, ya its gonna cost you but wouldn't you kick yourself if you didn't get the job for a $60 sim session.
And like the other post said...relax...I'm gonna guess that the company is just trying to see how you can handle a plane, ands how you get along with the other person in the seat beside you... Best-o-luck
