based on short and long term memory ,visual reaction, fast learning, they want you to be as fast as you can but avoid mistake, concentrate, do what you can, and remember that AC pilot are not astronauts, even if they think they are.....

I'm Jose Jimenez I want to be an astonaut

Whatever happened to a good ol sim eval?? I know some ppl who must have been pretty darned cognative because they sure couldn't fly but got hired....

The sim eval should still exist. I know of a couple of pilots that were terrible to fly with that got nipped by the sim evals at different airlines. Wiithout it, there seems to be a lot of square heads getting in.

Too bad for AC!

Any dress code for the cog test??

Are you serious?!

The cog test will most likely take place on the same day as your interview so I would imagine you are already dressed appropriately.

I agree that a sim eval is much better..
I thinkI may have messed up the COG test.. I got a "nasty gram" Please don't start saying that I'm mad at the company or anything. I accept responsibility for the fact that I didn't meet the company's standards... but I found the test a very poor instrument.. when I did it the light pen didn't even work.. had many problems witht he hardware.. I told the recruiter this and she told me that "she would note that"...
Anyway, just my opinion.. I'll never know why I didn't get on with AC.. but I thought my interview went very well, and I have, (I think) lots of time?? 4000 hours, 1600 PIC, 750 Turbine PIC, captain time, and some EMB time.. who knows..
Anyway, just my opinion about the cog test.. I would have rather had the chance to show them that I could fly in the sim.. but I know how expensive that is!

Sorry to hear about the Letter...Just to let you know I "heard" the Pen
Not working is part of the test...all the best!!

T-bone. Sorry to hear about your "nasty-gram" I agree that the cog test doesn't seem to be a good indication of your flying ability. I'm not sure that flying hrs really makes much of difference although 4000hrs probably wouldn't be considered "lots". I know guys with 8000-10000hrs that got the same letter.

4000 hrs is lot's of time everywhere but Canada.
