CHECK RIDE INFORMATION
Name A330-300 Check Ride (Stage 4)
Check Ride Instructions

Thank you for your interest in the A330 Program. Your check ride for additional ratings or for transfer to the program will test your knowledge and ability to safely handle the aircraft in several stages of flight operations. It will test your ability to:

1. Follow instructions
2. Fly a SID (Standard Instrument Departure) and GPS approach
3. Safely handle the aircraft.
4. Execute a Visual approach

This flight begins with your A330 parked on the ramp at Salt Lake City International’s (KSLC). You may start at Terminal C or D at the gate of your choice if possible. This is not a requirement. Please set your weather to fair skies and no winds. This flight should also be flown with no ATC (Vatsim, IVAO, or FS ATC).

Your flight information is as follows:
Delta Flight #4768
Scheduled Departure Time: 20:05 MT
Scheduled Arrival Time: 21:35 MT
(* Please note that departure and arrival time is at your discretion)
Route: KSLC TCH V21 MLD V21 PIH V269 LKT NOHHA KMSO (GPS-D approach for RWY29)
Please enter the route in ACARS exactly as follows: KSLC TCH KAYZE OGD PERRE CORIN PIMIE MLD PIH JATTS LKT NOHHA VISVE WOJHO KMSO
You may copy and paste the above route and place it in your route window within ACARS
SID: SLC1.TCH
Approach: GPS-D for Runway 29
Cruise Altitude: FL280 – FL360

The departure runway will be RWY 34R. Taxi is at pilot’s discretion.

You should immediately track the TCH VOR after take off. (TCH is only 2-3 miles from the end of RWY 34R) After crossing the TCH VOR track via V21 to MLD. Progress on the flight plan as published. Your approach into Missoula should be well executed. After intercepting the LKT VOR head direct to NOHHA and follow the GPS-D approach for runway 29 at KMSO. Once crossing WOJHO, you will need to execute a right turn to about 360 degrees setting up your base leg to RWY29. Once you have the airfield in sight you are “cleared for the visual approach RWY 29”. This is a very challenging approach and requires you to be ahead of the aircraft at all times. It is strongly suggested that you practice this approach at least once before attempting this check ride.

All segments of your flight will be monitored and reviewed. This flight must be flown on ACARS and please check the "This is a Check Ride" box on ACARS before starting your flight. Again, this flight WILL NOT be flown using VATSIM, IVAO, or MSFS ATC. Additionally, please DO NOT use FSPassengers or any other add on program that may affect the outcome of routing or emergency procedures.

You may use either the fleet A330-300 or one of the pay ware options available that you may have purchased. The use of the PSS A330-300 is not allowed. Whether you use the fleet aircraft or a more complex pay ware option, you will still be expected to handle the aircraft safely and competently.

Fuel planning, weights, balance and aircraft loading will be checked for accuracy based on the flight requirements (startup, taxi, climb, cruise, descent, taxi). We are especially looking for an unsafe aircraft configuration such as overloading or improper fuel balance, which could materially impair safe aircraft operation in flight. Do NOT take off or land your aircraft in an overweight condition. You will be marked down heavily.

Autopilot may be used throughout the flight as you would in a typical flight, but can only be engaged above 5,000 feet AGL during takeoff and must be disengaged prior to reaching 5,000 feet AGL on approach. Use of auto-land is not allowed. Finally, DO NOT end the flight from ACARS until you are at the gate. Do NOT use time acceleration, please use 1X time only throughout the flight. Use of accelerated time will not be accepted. Also keep in mind that your request will be automatically rejected if the required check ride is not completed within 14 days.

Things to remember: (because it could cost a ride failure)

1. If you are unsure about how to fly a SID, STAR, or GPS approach correctly - ask for help.
2. Speeds are to in accordance with the published information. Always maintain 250KTS or less below 10,000 feet.
4. Not flying the published departure, arrival or approach procedure (automatic failure)
5. Aircraft maximum take off and landing weights should not exceed specification. (automatic failure)
6. Improper use of flaps during takeoff/arrival (landing)

Please review your charts carefully and know your waypoints on the SID or STAR.
