Sim Tips & Expectations:

• Expect speed restrictions on climb out. If you or your sim partner overspeed, call it out and correct it.

• Expect steep turns in each direction.

• You will be asked to return to the airport, most frequent reason is the passenger forgot something in their car.

• One applicant will perform a go-around either flying down to minimums, or sometimes an animal comes onto the runway. The other pilot will land.

• Focus on good CRM throughout: communicate clearly, keep everyone in the loop, make sound decisions, and anticipate potential issues.

HR focuses on cultural fit, pilot/senior leader interviews test consistency and judgment, and the Columbus sim day tests operational skill, and CRM.
