I was at the last interview session in LGA and only 3/35, yeah that's not an exaggeration, passed the sim evaluation. I wasn't one of them. Procedures and instrument skills are not the problem, but being expected to fly a beech 1900 full motion sim having no experience in anything like that is a hell of a challenge. Went 3/4 scale deflection on the approach and that was that. If you're going there for an interview, I would highly recommend trying to get some sim practice in ahead of time. Luckily I already have another job and I was just trying to keep my options open, but good luck to the rest of you who go!

If you can get yourself into a a cheap flight school sim you can practice. Find the fastest plane (at your flight school it may be a baron) and fly the approach at 150 knots or so.
In the sim during the interview take control of the situation and configure early and be at ref by the marker. It is much easier to fly an approach at around 110 than it is to fly it at 180.
