Does your bose work in other airplanes? I was flying a beech duchess and the intercom installed blew out my entire headset... was kinda upset about that one but I sent it back to bose and they repaired it for free.

Is anyone headed up to interview on May 4th?

In the Eagle interview do they ask about company info? Like CEO director of training company history?

samballs

Hey I saw you wanted a gouge for your interview, I just interviewed on April 27th, send me a PM with any questions you may have. I used the gouges on will fly for food and other places, it was pretty much like it said in the gouges. Everyone was very professional and very classy. 10 of us started the interview but only 5 got an offer at the end. One guy got sent home because of the paperwork before 9AM, the others got sent home after their sim. It was very basic, same profile in the gouges with LAX ILS 24R. Either way good luck!

Man, so 4/10 sent home after the SIM?! Seems like a lot for being a simple profile...wonder what is going wrong?

well i would have to say no speed control, poor altitude hold, poor instrument scanning and that all time favorite, behind the aircraft.

3 out of the 4 said they had not flown an airplane in over a year, a couple of them had CRJ type ratings and such. 1 of the guys for sure messed up the entry. Here is the sim profile:

• Call for TO checklist
• Takeoff runway 24R at LAX fly runway heading 3000'
• "Positive rate, gear up"
• Acceleration altitude - Call for Climb Check
• Fly radar vector to join radial 230 to the Santa Monica VOR (050 course inbound on HSI)
• Level off at 3000', 160 KIAS
• Call out for cruise check
• Advise when ready to copy holding instructions (Exchange flight controls with Sim instructor, he pauses sim and you take your time briefing the hold)
• If you brief the hold correctly they don't make you hold most of the time, although mine was a direct entry so he did make me do the entry (Entries were different for everyone!)
• Radar Vectors for ILS 24R with the Flight Director
• Call for Approach Checklist
• Join LOC at 2200' until established, cleared for ILS 24R LAX at 120 KIAS
• ILS to a missed
• Execute missed as pusblished, eventually vectored for another ILS 24R this time without the flight director

All in all it took about 15 minutes at most. It was a G1000 baron frasca, but in my opinion it was fairly good, at least compared to the sims my school uses (Fidelity Motus)

They told us the standards are not hardcore as long as you are correcting and you are doing a reasonable job with everything. I think they were interested in the CRM more so than the flying.

When I did the sim we were crunched for time (lots interviewed that day) so we only got one approach to a landing. I forgot to even touch the throttle until I started the approach. I zoomed around thru the hold and all at about 195kts. I somehow managed to figure out the approach and entry quickly so I didn't shoot over the VOR while I was doing, still no bells in my head had gone off yet! I thought if I called for the cruise checklist he would have adjusted to cruise power but he didn't, I guess I needed to touch it first lol. Anyways all my procedures were solid, I made all the corrections and my scan was just a little rusty. I talked a lot so he could tell what my brain was thinking. I know one in our group was sent home because he messed up the hold, turned and it never intercepted. They expect you to be a little nervous, but you do have to figure out your hold and entry on the fly and execute it correctly. Everyone gets a different hold. If you are worried about it, have someone read you holds while you sit in a chair and figure them out in your lap. The sim flies pretty nice for a sim, very stable. Don't forget your checklists and CRM either - use the NFP for everything you can, they want to see this! He will set bugs and radios and courses and everything!
