When given the hold, I gave the correct entry, and my ILS was fairly good, it was not perfect, liitle high on glide slope, but good on localizer.
Do any PSA people here think I did OK enough to pass and get the offer? I know it's hard to tell without being there, but just looking for opinions. Thanks everyone.
All depends on who your sim examiner was. But in general they know you will not do a terrific job, it would be foolish of anyone to expect that. They want to just see that you correct your mistakes ...........did you blow through your altitude by more than a 1000ft? if so that may be a different story. Otherwise if you were climbing and started to level off at 10k and you hit 10.4k but made an adjustment to get back down immediatly, then you may be ok. You have to understand that the guy who was testing you may end up being one of your sim instructors and wants to see that you are trainable and that if he gets you as a student that he won't have to keep going over things many times.
Also the HR part is a big thing also, that only you know how you did.
If you feel relatively good about the experience, then you probably got it. If you are down about it, then you may not have. But that works on all interviews. Good Luck!
