KLM Ready Entry Phase 3: B737 Simulator Grading

Used as stage 3 of the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Ready Entry pilot selection process, the B737-800 simulator grading evaluates how candidates approach a simulator exercise under assessment conditions. Candidates are expected to demonstrate a disciplined briefing, practical aircraft handling and appropriate pitch-and-power techniques while managing the assigned scenario. Preparation should focus on understanding the exercise format, applying standard operating principles, communicating clearly and staying ahead of the aircraft. Assessment invitations provide the definitive scenario, venue and schedule details.
