  3. 3. (Nov 19, 2025) What is the difference between SAT vs TAT?
    • SAT (Static Air Temperature) is the true ambient air temperature, while TAT (Total Air Temperature) is the temperature experienced by an aircraft moving at high speed, which is higher than SAT due to friction and air compression.
  4. 4. (Oct 29, 2025) Why do you measure jet fuel in lbs vs gallons?
    • two reasons: jet fuel expands makes weight and balance easier
    • Jet fuel is measured in pounds because it is more accurate for weight and balance calculations, as fuel's volume changes with temperature while its weight remains constant
  5. 5. (Nov 02, 2025) What is a Hot spot, and where is it located on the chart?
    • A hot spot is an area where frequent mistakes happen on the airport surface. Hot spots are found on the airport diagram

    • JSX has a very great team and family environment as well as the best interest of the passengers safety and the well being of their employees. Regardless of getting hired this is a great company
  7. 7. (Nov 06, 2025) Explain any training/checkride failures.
    • I had 2 failures and they were my fault and as much as it pains me to say this I'm glad I failed them. It taught me how to study better and understand the material even more. I took the failure into a learning experience that has helped me further my career as well as pass that down to my students or peers
  8. 8. (Nov 04, 2025) Describe your aviation experience/history from start through today.
    • My aviation experience has been amazing. I’ve been so fortunate to have mentors and instructors in my life that are professional pilots that showed me how to fly professionally and held me to ATP standards. They truly love aviation and being able to help someone so that’s why I think I caught the bug so fast. I fell in love with aviation because my mentors took their time and poured their heart into each flight to help me. I continued through my ratings through part 61 and thus obtaining my CFI and continued to build time.
  9. 9. (Nov 27, 2025) Tell me about yourself.
  10. 10. (Nov 29, 2025) Tell me about a time that you had a conflict at work/in the cockpit and how you resolved it.
    • I had a student show up for a lesson and noticed that from his body language and demeanor that he was upset and disgruntled from the start. Our lesson that day consisted of pattern work, and since the start of the preflight to our taxi and first take off, his mind was elsewhere. It caused him to miss a few instructions from atc which I had to jump in. He then blamed me for it. I calmed him down by having him focus on each part of the pattern and verbalizing each step in hope of calming him down and focusing on the task at hand. I also gave him more time with a full stop and taxi back so he wasn’t rushed or anxious. It worked well and we finished our lesson better than how we started
