Interview conducted by two captains who began with about 5 HR questions and followed with the technical portion. Very heavy on Jeppesen plates: taxi diagram, approach plates, 10-9 page, SIDs, STARs. You are expected to know how to interpret these plates and answer scenario based questions concerning them. Was shown a METAR and asked to read it and analyze it, meaning what I would be concerned about looking at what the METAR was showing (ex: close temp/dewpoint). Also was asked if I needed a...

Same as everyone else described. METAR and TAF to start. Then taxi diagram, SID, STAR, ILS, and then a couple systems...

The interview started 4 simple HR questions to break the ice, and be ready to prepare checkride failure answers and what you learned. Technical was extensive review basic JEPP symbol and approach plates, know what descend via and cleared via are respectively. Departure alternate minimums are based off the CAT I mins back into the same airport, make sure to say all factors that you would take into account when taxing and know about hot spots. Overall they are very nice and on your side os...

The gouge presented before mine is quite accurate, it helped me mold my studies for certain. The Captain and FO running it were kind and humorous and had no intent to trick or confuse, they expected me to know how to answer the questions though. Here is my general flow: HR interview had some basic filler questions, (view the study guide of this website).  All in all the HR was straighforward. Be honest, be open, and be confident. The technical interview started with reading a METAR...

I had 2 chill FO's. They introduced themselves, I introduced myself. 3 HR questions, took 5 minutes. Then we start with a METAR and a TAF for Detroit. Read the METAR, do not get confused with RVR since this is likely where it will be. What are concerns? I had excessively low ceiling. Talked about temp and dew-point. Based on the METAR we would need a departure alternate. What is a departure alternate and when is it required? After, I was given a taxi route in KDTW. What are concerns? (view...

HR portion, then the technical portion. Technical portion consisted of a lot of IFR charts (arrival, approach, SID). Make sure to know every marking on it and the taxi...

In-person interview was very casual. Everyone showed up prior to the 9 am start time. Take this opportunity to get acquainted with your peers. The rest of the interview was exactly what you’d find on the study guide here, but alot more condensed. They asked probably 30 questions total at random, but nothing surprising or missing from the...

The interview was just as everyone else has described it on here. I was interviewed by a FO and captain who were both incredibly nice and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. The HR portion was about 10 minutes with an ice breaker question and then the "why PSA" questions. We then went into the technical questions which lasted for about 35 minutes or so. As long as you know the study guide questions by heart, you'll have no trouble. They had me read a meter, TAF and...

My PSA interview was in person with two FOs. The vibe was relaxed and laid back. We started with a few HR questions, then moved straight into technicals. It was quick Q&A style — I’m not sure if that’s their normal pace or because I was almost the last slot of the day (after lots of other cadets on the same day). They walked me through an airport diagram, a SID, a STAR, and finished with an approach plate. Random questions on each—no full brief required. When we...

Study guide is very accurate. Only 3 HR questions, then we moved to the technical portion which was centered around a flight from DTW to CLT. Started off looking at METARs and TAFs. Asked if I needed alternates. Looked at the DTW taxi diagram, SIDs, STARs, approaches, etc. Make sure you know your takeoff minimums, alternate requirements, 1-2-3 rule, etc. If you have a mentor, take any help they offer. I did a mock interview with my mentor and it greatly helped my confidence for the...
