  • Read Page 1 ... control in a stall, how does a turbofan engine work, what is bypass air, why do we use so much bypass air, what kind of systems does a jet have, what do we use bleed air for, what about hydraulics, what kind of power does the plane have, why do use AC instead of DC, how to you convert between ac and dc (inverters and rectifiers). We talked about anticipated and unanticipated threats, time and no time threats, and discussed how emergencies are usually handled. Asked me what to do if you get a hot start or if a circuit breaker pops. Next we talked about jepp charts, discussed a hot spot, asked me about what markings you would see where and what they look like, mandatory hold short sign, taxiway signs, runway remaining signs, ILS critical area, and displaced thresholds. We went into a scenario flying along and having a small issue...

    Great Experience. Laid back, but very, very thorough - which i liked. Started with "housekeeping" Items, Tell about yourself, about the airline, etc. Then heavy technical, CRM, scenario, etc. At the end was told exceptional candidate, low 30/60/90 totals may hurt, but he doesn't make the decision. Really positive experience. Prepare well and it will be almost...

    Was a good interview that followed the gouge on here. After the basic hrs and HR questions the technical portion was done as a flight Preflight- talk about bleed air, Taxi/Airport diagram, flight- airspeeds, and so one. Interview was a FO and made the flow easy. If you study the information on here you will be...

    Interview lasted about 1.5. I joined waiting room 30 minutes before scheduled time and was pulled in about 15 minutes early. First 30-45 min was HR, him introducing, telling about myself, and TMAT. Went straight into me talking out a METAR and then he gave me a TAF with different ETAs and departure times asking me if we were within mins for both. Went into JEP charts after, this is where the majority of the interview time was. Started with a SID into an enroute into an approach into airport...

    Interview was very straight forward. Heavily scenario based with jepp charts. Overall great experience. Interview lasted about 2hrs. HR section was about 30 minutes, technical was 1 hr, and CRM was about 30 minutes. I had one person conduct the interview while a 20 year captain observed. Know IFR regulations, High altitude aerodynamics, high bypass turbofan engines, went over weather, TS, microburst, TAF, METAR, etc. No ops specs or...

    Really fun interview, super laid back. Each told our individual stories, then jumped right into it. Went through flight times. One or two super basic TMAAT questions. The rest was a scenario, basically standing in the gate and going through what documents I need. Then read the METAR and TAF at the destination, deciding whether we need an alternate. Then we walk around the plane and talk about the swept wing, flaps, slats, the turbofan engine, and APU. Briefly described pros, cons,...

    Interview was with a two year FO. Did not have anything unexpected come up. A few hr questions then about an hour of technical. Taf, runway signs, benky 6 star kord, ils27r, high altitude aerodynamics, turbo fan engine and starting, bleed air. I canâ??t remember what else. Know your jepp charts. Study gouges. I think it went really well. I was nervous the whole time but thatâ??s normal I...

    Started off with intros, moved into a few TMAATs. Tech was all that is covered in this guide (high-bypass turbo fan engine, swept wing advantages and disadvantages and theory, departure apt diagram, IFR alt mins, jep plate breifings, emergency and diversion as captain, etc) Very straight forward interview, was not surprised with any questions that weren't on this guide. Felt very prepared and interview went very well it...

    I recently used AviationInterview.com to prepare for my interview, and honestly, it helped a lot, which made me feel much more prepared and confident going into the interview. The interview started with reading METARs and TAFs, then moved into weather related questions. After that, we covered aerodynamics, basic jet engine concepts and design, and high-altitude operations. Overall, the technical topics were very similar to what I had studied on the website. We ended it with a CRM scenerio...
