  • I was interviewed by a FO and a CAPT who were both very friendly. My technical interview began with the scenario of flying from KDTW to KCLT. I was given a METAR and TAF and asked questions, (view the study guide of this website). I was given the KDTW airport diagram, SID (BAR11 3 DEP), and STAR (PARQR 4 ARR) into KCLT. Given a taxi clearance, I was asked to explain how to taxi from the gate to the runway. I explained how I would navigate to the runway, identifying key points along the way such as hot spots and where clearances to cross runways would be required. I was asked about Jeppesen symbology on the airport diagram such as the location of the airport beacon, airport...

    The team was really great. First asked me general HR questions about my flying experience. My CFI experience, checkride failures, and then asked a couple â??silly questionsâ? to get to know me. Finally they gave me a scenario just to see how my thought process was. Then we jumped in to the technical. It was like a combo of private, commercial and CFI checkride in one. Very scenario based,  we covered basic airworthiness, IFR fuel and equipment requirements, inop equipment (know what...

    Pretty straightforward. As others have said, follow the study guide on this website. Know your Jepp charts, IFR equipment requirements, systems/engine on your current plane, dynamic/static stability, METARS/TAFS, alternate requirements, STARS, SIDS, approaches, RVR to statute miles conversions, fuel requirements, speed limits, holding information, what a turbocharger is, and the ILS components and...

    All the questions I was asked were word for word to the questions provided on this website's study guide. It seems to always start with either with reading a metar/taf or some miscellaneous questions about basic aerodynamics, ifr procedures, and your current aircraft's systems. After reading the metar/taf they ask if you need an alternate and why. Then they ask if there are any concerns about the metar. Read the questions on the study guide and you will know exactly what to expect. We went...

    Super friendly FO and Captain who did interview. Introduced ourselves and how we began flying then got straight to the point. Study guide was very spot on to almost all of the questions asked. Know your Jepp charts very well. Know difficult METARS; VV and P0003. 123 rule for alternates. Read Taf and had to debate on if alternate was needed. (view the study guide of this website).  LOC and ILS...

    Interview went well, the interviewers want to see you succeed. Started with HR items (basically the study guide). Questions asked.  Technical portion (also part of the study guide).  Lots of small questions about the different plates, SID STAR and APP  Most of the technical was based on the plates and given different situations and how you would react to...

    The interview was really straight forward. I only did the technical portion,  and it started with questions, (view the study guide of this website). You will go over a METAR and TAF and have to identify if you need an alternate. We then did the SID, ILS and STAR where they asked random questions. I would look at the study guide in here for more details on that.  If you know everything on the study guide and are familiar with your airplane and work with your mentor on what to expect...

    The interview was pretty much like the questions in the study guide. This was my second attempt for the technical interview and they added some new questions that were different from my first interview. Questions they added were, what's a MEL, what's a turbocharger, what documents you need in the plane to fly, and what IFR equipment you need in the plane to fly. Overall, a good experience and this website covers most of it. Another thing I recommend is to study with your mentor. If you don't...

    Started the interview off with some housekeeping items. (view the study guide of this website). We then got into the HR portion.  We then got into some technical items. We then went into SIDs and STARs. Make sure to know what EVERYTHING means on them. (Speed restrictions, climb via vs descend and maintain, holds, etc.) You then will go over what questions you missed and if you passed or not. Make sure to go over study guide and you will be...

    Started off with the housekeeping stuff, exchanged introductions then straight into the technical stuff Nothing to worry about for HR portion. I was asked a few questions, (view the study guide of this website).  Just be yourself. The interviewers informed me that they have recently changed the format of the test a bit and raised the score to pass as well. The rest was pretty much as expected with questions about Metars, TAFs, and a lot of picking around on Jeppsen charts. Pretty...
