Is there any score for the written? And it's hard?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a passing score but why someone posted they said the average was in the 70's.

It took them over 4 weeks to let me know, so just because they didn't tell you anything after the interview doesn't really mean anything. I know it sucks sitting around waiting and it's allot of anxiety but just hang in there man, more than likely than Jan class had already been filled when they interviewed you and I'll bet dollars for doughnuts you will get a call in the next week or 2 for the Feb class.

As far as the hold, do they want a lap around? Setting timers and all or do you just give the entry? Is it acceptable to make the evaluator do everything for you? ie. "center needle with a too indication," set course this, set bug that?

They PM will perform checklist, set altitudes, heading bug and courses as long as you call for them. The PM will do everything but fly the airplane for you...

The sim is a simple HSI. Just use a basic 6 pack scan. Its like flying a 172 with more power. Yes, they are evaluating your CRM skills, so use the other guy to your advantage, but if you cant fly a simple hold entry by putting the courses in he HSI yourself, well....good luck...
