Emirates Interview & Assessment GuideEmirates Pilots Assessment in Dubai After your online application successfully past the screening, you will be invited for the Emirates Pilot Assessment in Dubai. The assessment process for direct entry captains and first officers is the same, except the “Simulator LOFT Screening’ after day 3 (Stage 2) which is only required for direct entry captains. In the beginning all applicants will be split up into groups of three or four people. The main reason is the order in which you will go to the simulator. Day 1 (Stage 1) + Welcome briefing with information about Emirates + Simulator briefing and screening + Advanced Compass Test * 30 Multiple-Choice ATPL-Questions At the end of the day, all candidates will be notified ifthey have successfully past the “First Stage” of the assessment. Day 2 + Psychometric tests + HR-briefing about terms and conditions of working for Emirates and the process of joining the company Day 3 (Stage 2) + Assessment centre exercises + Personal interview At the end of the day, all candidates will be notified if they have successfully past the “Second Stage” of the assessment. Day 4 (Stage 3) * Applicants will undergo a pre-arranged medical appointment at the Emirates Clinic and City Hospital.Day 1 (Stage 1) - Emirates Simulator Screening Example SIM-Session (Time 20-30 Minutes): 1.
