One to One Airline Interview Preparation - a vital step in getting your airline career
21/09/2011
For many newly qualified pilots, the months getting experience, building hours and gaining licences can come to nothing if they fail at the interview hurdles in getting their first airline place. Most airlines will use psychometric testing, simulator checks and a panel interview when selecting potential direct entry candidates; many fail at this stage on simple errors in technical information or failing to handle a few searching questions. In response to this challenge Simtech Aviation asked experienced recruitment coach Brendan Colclough to develop a one to one coaching session to assist pilots at all levels in navigating the interview and selection process and in the last year this intervention has resulted in many successful interviews for Simtech Clients. The session includes video feedback and analysis of participants and their answers and lots of personal feedback. For more information and to arrange a session contact Simtech Aviation at 01-8448073.

Record numbers at Air Spectacular Bray
26/07/2011
Organisers estimate that 80,000 people attended the Air Spectacular in Bray today (July 24), smashing all previous records in the event’s six year history.
Part of Bray Summerfest, the 150 minute show was the largest aviation event of its kind in the country and was opened by the Defence Forces, with a parachute drop onto Bray seafront by the Black Knights Display Team.
The tens of thousands of spectators, who had travelled from all over the island of Ireland to the County Wicklow seaside town, were treated to extreme formation aerobatics, search and rescue demonstrations at sea and displays of Irish and US military aircraft.
Five-time Irish Aerobatic Champion, Eddie Goggins, thrilled the crowds with smoke-filled spins, stalls and salmon leaps; the Irish Coast Guard staged a search and rescue demonstration and the Irish Air Corps flew a selection of army helicopters, turbo-prop planes and a maritime patrol plane. The United States Air Force took part in the show again this year, flying a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft along the east coast.
Aer Lingus marked their 75th anniversary year by displaying the iconic ‘Iolar’ aircraft as well as their ‘RetroJet’ Airbus. CityJet also took part in the air show for the first time this year, which also featured top Irish pilots Gerry Humphreys and Dave Bruton. The high-energy aerobatic displays from the Blades and the RV8Tors from the UK were among the display highlights.
Speaking after the air show, Sé Pardy, the Display Director from Simtech Aviation, said: “This was our most ambitious programme to date and broke all previous spectator records. By staging these world-class air shows, Ireland is strengthening its reputation for aviation excellence around the world.”
Meanwhile back on the ground, plenty of attractions and activities kept spectators entertained before the air show. The Irish Army organized a ground display, alongside the National Microlight Association and Kildare Helicopters.
Bray Summerfest continues until August 7th and the full programme of events is downloadable from www.braysummerfest.com

Bray Air Spectacular Press Release
28/05/2010
100 years of Irish aviation will be celebrated at Ireland’s largest free air spectacular on Sunday, July 25th, as part of Bray Summerfest.
Award-winning aerobatic pilots will thrill tens of thousands of spectators, who are expected to line Bray seafont for a bird’s eye view of aerobatic loops, pirouette spins, and nose-down spiral descents.
Now the only free air display event taking place in Ireland, this is the fifth consecutive year of the Bray Summerfest Air Spectacular, which is now firmly established as the nation’s most popular air event.
Bray Summerfest and the Simtech organising team are planning a two-hour ‘centenary celebration’ display to mark this year’s 100th anniversary of Irish aviation which will feature aerobatics, search and rescue demonstrations and parachuting from Irish and international acts.
Sé Pardy, the Display Director for Bray Summerfest Air Spectacular 2010, is promising a fun-filled afternoon of aerial entertainment for families at Bray Seafront: “Five time Irish Aerobatic Champion Eddie Goggins is guaranteed to put on a daring display again this year with his knife edge rolls, flat spins and corkscrew maneuvers. We’re also looking forward to seeing the Red Bull Matadors, Gerry Humphreys, Angelo Cunningham and the Twister Duo take to the skies in Bray on July 25th.”
As part of An Garda Síochana’s traffic management plan, spectators are strongly advised to arrive in Bray early and to use the DART or other public transport services to Bray. Further information about the Air Spectacular in Bray, which starts at 3:30pm, is available at www.airspectacular.com.
The Air Spectacular 2010 is one of the main highlights of Bray Summerfest, Ireland’s largest free family festival. Running across six weeks from early July to mid August, the Bray Summerfest programme includes live music, arts, fireworks, funfairs, garden parties, Irish and international crafts and food markets, beach sports and much more. Full details are available at www.braysummerfest.com.

Mechtronix ATR 72-500 Full Flight Simulator
15/03/2010
Simtech are delighted to announce installation and certification of first Mechtronix ATR 72-500 Full Flight Simulator
Mechtronix Systems Inc., an MWC company, is a Canadian top leader in the global flight simulation and training market specializing in the design and manufacture of flight simulation training devices (FSTD) for commercial, general and business aviation.
Mechtronix's method of building and operating a simulator differs dramatically from what had been the industry's norm.
"The classic way was that you stimulated an airplane [through the use of hydraulics] and made the airplane believe it was flying," Xavier Herve said.
"Thus, the pilot in the plane then believed he was flying. We don't create an environment that simulates the plane. We create an environment that truly simulates the plane. The end objective is to make the pilot feel he is flying - whether he is really in a plane or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that pilot feels he is in the plane."
