BOEING 737 SIMULATOR
PAGE 2
Dear Candidate,
We would like to congratulate you for being selected for an assessment with LOT Crew.
This document will explain all the details concerning simulator part of the selection process. Read
it carefully before the screening date. Should any questions arise, do not hesitate to ask your assessor
before the session begins.
The assessment will take place at LOT Flight Academy headquarters in Warsaw, Jutrzenki St.
99/101. Have in mind that there is limited parking space available around the office. When in the building,
wait at the reception desk for the recruitment team member who will meet you at settled hour.

INTRODUCTION
The simulator assessment is the part of the selection process. The assessor will be checking if the applicant can
demonstrate the expected level of competence with regard to flying the aircraft and the ability to use CRM
principles in areas of situational awareness, leadership, team building, decision making and effective
communication.
The simulator type used for the assessment will be Boeing 737 MAX.
The candidate will be given a briefing incorporating equipment available in the simulator being used. It will
also brief Thrust Lever Settings and Pitch & Thrust settings as appropriate.
Autopilot (A/P) or Autothrust (A/T) will not be available during the session.
Vref will be provided by the assessor and inserted into FMC.
There might be some differences from defined scenarios which lie on assessor decision with the session
progress.
The operating procedures that crews will be expected to use are those detailed below. The procedures are
deliberately designed to be general and applicants will be expected to familiarize themselves with them prior to
the assessment exercise. Adoption of these procedures will be evaluated.
Take-off briefing
Applicants are expected to perform a standard takeoff briefing.
Checklists
The applicant will be expected to call for normal checklist. Checklists should be accomplished from panel on steering
wheel with challenge – response way.
1.4. DEBRIEFING
There will be no debriefing after session. The assessors will not provide any information regarding your
performance during the check ride.

AGL, acceleration 3000 feet AGL.
Prior to OKC VOR, ATC directs aircraft to fly to OKC VOR to perform holding.
Hold over OKC, prepare for ILS Z 33.
Raw data ILS Z 33 down to CAT I minimums.
The exercise is completed after touchdown.

Whenever a change is made to the respective MCP speed, heading, altitude or vertical speed window, the pilot
manipulating the MCP shall announce this to the other crewmember. The other crew member must verify the
action and call “CHECKED”. When pilot flying is flying with NO AUTOPILOT engaged, all the changes should be
requested with callout and made on MCP by PM.

At height of 1000ft AGL and 500ft AGL the approach stabilization criteria must be met according to criteria
presented below:
Any deviation from stabilized approach criteria must be called by PM in the following way:

1.8. APPROACH PROFILE
PAGE 13
1.9. RAW DATA GUIDANCE
ILS deviation is displayed on the attitude display. ILS deviation may also be displayed on the navigation display by
selecting an ILS mode on the EFIS Control Panel. The localizer course deviation scale on the attitude indicator
remains normal scale during the approach. Continue to crosscheck the map display against the attitude indicator
raw data.
The magnetic course/bearing information from the VOR/ADF pointers on the navigation display may be used to
supplement the attitude display localizer deviation indication during initial course interception. It is recommended
to set flaps 1 and 5 before localizer capture. Begin the turn to the inbound localizer heading at the first movement
of the localizer pointer.
After course intercept, the track line and read-out on the navigation display may be used to assist in applying proper
drift correction and maintaining desired course. Bank as needed to keep the localizer pointer centered and the
track line over the course line. This method automatically corrects for wind drift with very little reference to actual
heading required.
Large bank angles are rarely required while tracking inbound on the localizer. Use 5° to 10° of bank angle.
When the glide slope pointer begins to move (glide slope alive), lower the landing gear, extend flaps 15, and
decelerate to flaps 15 speed. Intercepting the glide slope, extend landing flaps and establish the final approach
speed. When established on the glide slope, preset the missed approach altitude in the altitude window. On final
approach, maintain VREF + 5 knots or an appropriate correction for headwind component. Check altitude crossing
the FAF. To stabilize on the final approach speed as early as possible, it is necessary to exercise precise speed control
during the glide slope intercept phase of the approach. The rate of descent varies with the glide slope angle and
ground speed. Expeditious and smooth corrections should be made based on the localizer course and glide slope
indications. Apply corrections at approximately the same rate and amount as the flight path deviations.
