The aim for
this course is to provide guidance and feedback in order to prepare for a
simulator assessment. This assessment is required for successful recruitment
into an airline pilot position.
The course is flexible and may
also be used by an individual with a professional licence who wishes to hone
their skills after being away from flying for a while.
Simulator coaching aims to assist the candidate(s) to operate the simulator
in accordance with a typical airline’s SOP's. With the relevant training,
coaching and refinement of their skill, this course will provide the
candidate with the highest possible opportunity to secure their prospect of
passing their "real" check. We can provide training on various types at
various locations. The most typical is the B737 or A320, however please fill
in the form to book, or contact us via email for information on the type you
require.
Note: You do not need an offer of
interview to utilise this course. You can keep your skills and knowledge current
for the future at any time. In fact it is better to book a course early, as the
blocks each month are taken quickly by airlines training their own pilots.
Structure
Split into 3 parts:
Pre Flight Brief lasting 30 minutes - You can discuss a
particular profile, which you have received from an airline that is
interviewing, or run with a generic one provided by your instructor. Explain to
your instructor exactly what you want to work on and they will oblige.
Session - This can last between 1 and 4 hours.
Please note that it is normal to book a 2-hour session to begin with. This is
easier to book at short notice with the simulator training facility, as well as
to find a relevant instructor and also provides enough time to go through a
typical profile twice, as well as leave a few minutes to concentrate on any
errors or points that you would like to practice again.
Debrief - Your instructor will cover all
aspects of the session and advise on areas to improve or concentrate on.
Dependent on timing, this may be done whilst you are in the simulator.
Instructors
Aviac shall, where possible, evaluate and
match the content of the course to the requirements of the candidate. Here
we shall match an instructor who is flying on the type requested and one who
is current with SOP's with the airline that the candidate may have an
interview with*. All instructors are current line pilots who ‘know’ their
aircraft well and will be able to answer any of your technical questions if
required.
*Please note that this matching process shall depend upon
the availability of the instructors.
