1.) Introduction about the company.
2.) Sim is at their discretion. There were people that got the sim frasca 142 that had prior airline experience and current and also there were people that were not current and no airline experience that got the sim also. I would suggest getting some frasca time before going. People say it was hard. -The profile is Takeoff ZeroFlaps Rotate at 90kts, Positive Rate Gear Up, climb at 130kts, cruise 160kts and 30 inches of manifold pressure. Decent 130kts 25 map. Procedure turn Inbound/Base Leg Flaps 60 Degrees. Its about 10degrees per second, Final approach speed 130kts, Gear down at 1 dot below. Don’t get below 120kts. The sim is very pitch sensitive. You will take off out of Burbank runway 8. You will get a clearance to direct to the Vor and hold. He will ask what kind of entry and then give you different holding instruction and ask again what is the new hold entry. You will start the hold and finish. Then he will give you a clearance to fly direct to the VOR and cleared for the ILS 8 Burbank at that point you are to fly the approach and contact tower inbound.

They will brief you by telling you that you are flying along at cruise altitude just prior to your decent with 1 hour of fuel remaining and 25-30 minutes from landing. You will be given 7 minutes. Timer Starts ATC calls you and says DEN has extreme windshear. Company airplanes and United Heavys are all going around. Then you get a smoke in the back lavatory. Then ATC calls you again and now there is t-storms heading towards the airport and still all the airplanes are going around and 1 diverted. We never even landed by the time the time ran out.
