Interview experience:

I have had my application online at Skywest since last December. The only reason that I got an interview is because I went to an open house in SLC, on the 22nd of August. There they were doing full interviews, but I choose to just take the written, and come back for the interview at a later date. The written is a 50 question ATP. There are no refer to figure questions. Mostly all regs and weather. There is also a 10 question mechancial aptitude test as well. You must get a 70% to go on tho the next area of the interview. The sim evaluation is real basic. All I had was take off, a few vectors, direct to vor cleared for the ILS approach. The prodedure turn was a holding pattern, so they saw a hold entry. The tech evaluation and HR was pretty basic. Have you ever failed a checkride? Have you ever been scared in an airplane? How did you resond? Have you ever been late? why? Then we went on and was asked about the current plane I was flying. Also, they will ask you questions on what kind of flying you do, Part 91, 135 ect...Tell me all about the engines? What kind of ice can you fly into? Then we went on about ice for a long time. What are the 3 stages of a thunderstorm? What do you need for a thunderstorm? Know windshear. Then we went into the Jepps and enroute charts. Know every symbol on them, and what they mean. When can you decend below DA(H)? What do you need? Know your IFR regs really well. I flew part 91, so thats the stuff I know. If you fly 135, know all of your rules on alternates also. The only way now to get an interview is having lots of turbine time, or going to the open houses. They list them at skywest.com Don't know when I get to go to training, but I can't wait to go. Best of luck. Tailwinds!

SkyWest Airlines Study Guide Questions:

1. If you are assigned higher alt. than the published MDA to intercept GS, where is FAF?
Glide slope intercept at the intercept altitude
Glide slope intercept
2. If you shoot the approach by doing Procedure turn where is FAP?
established inbound on the final approach course
3. If the VOR, which is being used for missed approach segment, is inoperative, is the approach still legal?
Aeronautical Information Manual 5-4-21. Missed Approac e. Some locations may have a preplanned alternate missed approach procedure for use in the event the primary NAVAID used for the missed approach procedure is unavailable. The alternate missed approach may be based on NAVAIDs not used in the approach procedure or the primary missed approach. When the alternate missed approach procedure is implemented by NOTAM, it becomes a mandatory part of the procedure. The NOTAM will specify both the textual instructions and any additional equipment requirements necessary to complete the procedure. Air traffic may also issue instructions for the alternate missed approach when necessary, such as when the primary missed approach NAVAID fails during the approach. Pilots may reject an ATC clearance for an alternate missed approach that requires equipment not necessary for the published approach procedure when the alternate missed approach is issued after beginning the approach. However, when the alternate missed approach is issued prior to beginning the approach the pilot must either accept the entire procedure (including the alternate missed approach), request a different approach procedure, or coordinate with ATC for alternative action to be taken, i.e., proceed to an alternate airport, etc.
Well, that depends on the title of the approach. If the approach was titled VOR or GPS, then you may legally execute the Missed using your approved database as a means to retrieve the way-points necessary to execute the missed.
no
