  • Read Page 1 ... TAF and asking about needing a destination alternate. Then we went through a taxi diagram and a STAR and he just asked me what different symbols meant and other info about those charts. Asked what the purpose of a SID/STAR is (reduce pilot workload) and questions about if ATC gave you instructions that differed from the STAR you were on, what would you follow for altitude/airspeed restrictions/lateral guidance. Followed this with an ILS plate and asked me to brief it but keep it 1-1.5 mins as if you were in the airplane and flying it. Then just got asked a ton of different scenarios with that plate to include symbology, how to fly the approach, the missed approach and holding speeds/times at different altitudes and entry type, calculating a VDP and what that means, plus what the FAF is for the ILS versus the LOC approach. He asked more questions...

    I applied cadet program for PSA as a senior because I almost have 1500 Hours. I applied the cadet program when I just got over 1000 hours. If you prepared the cadet interview, those are questions are enough to prepare for everything. Just one thing that I want you guys to say that start to study about Jepp Chart for SID, STAR, airport diagram symbols and ILS LOC approach chart. interviewers's question is pretty straightforward so you guys don't need to worry about it. And study weather...

    Study the material they send you, the questions may not be the exact approach, SIDs, STARs, and taxi diagrams that they send, use them to get used to Jepp plates if you aren’t already. If you study the questions here and learn the 121 rules, you’ll be just fine, ask your mentor too to review with you if you have one. Know systems of current airplane as well. Hot spots, ARP, and beacon on taxi...

    After applying it took about 4 weeks to receive an email to schedule a phone screening. The phone screening consisted of going over all off my hours, making sure I had a valid passport, FCC, medical, etc and then at the end of the call we scheduled the technical interview for 5 days later. The technical interview was with one FO (or captain I am not sure). He started by going over my hours once more and confirming times, and then asked "Why PSA?" and other technical questions,...

    Applied after talking to PSA at a conference online. Within a few days got an email to schedule the HR portion of the interview, which was over the phone and just a logbook/hour review and got asked "Why PSA?", but no other HR questions. Scheduled the technical then and was sent a study guide that mainly had some tips/tricks and a few old Jepp plates, but nothing that was directly used on my interview. My interview was with a current PSA FO and started with a logbook review and...

    Overall a straight forward interview. Started with HR type questions,    Then Technical questions.  (view the study guide of this website).  The end- congratulations you are a cadet. Do not go crazy briefing the whole plate. They know even a monkey can brief SID, STARS, and Approach plates. They care more about your knowledge of the instrument itself. Tiny details rather than just reading what's written on...

    Applied in Fall and hadn't heard until I went to a conference earlier this year and got picked up from there. Got a call from PSA a few weeks later and scheduled the phone screen. On the phone screen, was asked about flight times, licenses, etc. Then asked HR questions, (view the study guide of this website).  After that, scheduled the technical for a week later. The technical was super short and rapid fire. Verified flight times and documentation again. Was then asked to decode a...

    I applied quite a while back. Spoke to some recruiters at the end of last year but did not hear anything until after I talked to them at a recent hiring event. The HR portion is done as a phone screening, then technical is scheduled. I was asked why PSA again and given a scenario about being overweight 3,000lbs. Have your logbook handy because he verified flight time again. Then we proceeded into the technical portion. You are briefing a flight from point a to point b. Mine was DCA to CLT....

    Submitted application after completing ATP written. Attended a conference . Offered an interview 1 week after discussion with recruiter. Was told that counted as the initial HR screening phone interview. Was asked 'Why PSA' and talked with the FO they had there. The gouge on here set me up for the technical questions. It was a one-on-one virtual interview with a senior FO. Laid back conversation that started with review of admin documents that they request you to send in 3 days before the...

    I had my application in for a long time but heard no response. I went to a conference and met with them and they got me set up for the phone screening the next day. Be aware that the phone screening is the HR portion of the interview so makes sure you have answers for “Why PSA” “Tell me 3 qualities about yourself” and other HR questions from the study guide. After that I was scheduled for my technical interview one week out and they gave me a study guide. The links...

  11. I found that the content was highly relevant and well-structured for aviation interviews. What stood out was how closely the questions mirrored what I actually faced in real interviews.
