It was configured like a Baron but was very straight forward. T/O... climb out then direct to a VOR for a hold... couple turns in holding... then direct to the OM for the full procedure turn ILS followed by a missed ....engine failure on the missed.... eval over.
They will more than likely ask you during your 2 on 1 interview that IF you were offered a job which crew base would be your choice. I was NEVER asked out right which certificate ....just base.
The tests are straightforward. Have your info for the PRIA paper work ready. Our whole group was done by 10 minutes till 1 in the afternoon. I was the last to go to the sim eval and the last to do the HR/Pilot interview. They called me while I was still at the airport with the offer.
Good luck.
I was the first of the 6 to get the SIM and I had 121 experience. Everything you said is true. When I got to the interview, they said the guy who called me made a mistake and I didn't have to do the SIM. Oh well. haha, it took me 20 seconds to realize the engine failed after the go-around. They are looking for procedures. As soon as I did my mixture, prop, throttle, gear up, flaps up, ident, verify, feather, and call atc and tell them what I wanted he said "done." Just looking for procedures.

Obviously you can't finish them all but I would suggest getting through at least 25 of them. One dude who said he was on #19 when the timer went off went home after testing. 25 question technical test, easy. Get gouges of aviationinterviews.com and its pretty spot on. Good luck.
I got 44
