Read Page 1 ... off? TO mins, TO alt, arrival alt? Considerations on the METAR/ TAF. Then you’re shows a taxi diagram. ARP, Hotspots, rway length? You’re given taxi instructions and told to walk them through it. Next up is a SID. Restrictions, speeds, top altitudes? Then onto a STAR and an ILS. They just asked a few symbology questions, speeds and altitudes at XYZ. Given the scenario of the airport being congested and given a hold on the STAR. What would you want to do? Asked hold speed and asked if we would want to hold at that...

I had two captains interviewing me. They were very nice- introduced themselves then let me say a little bit about myself. Started with some easy HR questions- hours, failures, accidents/incidents. Next went on to technical questions. STARs, SIDs, ILS plates, They sent all of the plates to me before hand and your mentor should be able to help you as well. I had DTW to CLT. They asked me to read the METAR and see of we could take off with RVR given. Can we land given vis/ceilings on... -

I did the online Microsoft Teams interview, it was about 40 minutes total. We started with an introduction and then onto the HR questions which was super quick. They asked me what organizations I'm passionate about, what fictional character represents me, explaining checkride failures, how many hours do I have, if I could solve one worldwide problem what would it be. I got a scenario of what to do if the aircraft is overfueled. For technical questions it was VERY straight forward, I didn't... -

Study METAR (Manually corrected code). The TAF used to test the 1-2-3 rule was a little hidden. Hold considerations. Was really a conversation after reading the gouge. 40-ish minute long... -

The study guide nailed it for my interview. The HR interview was simple series of questions including the fast vs slow zombie question. This is a simple ice breaker, no wrong answer, but it all about your attitude. Other than confirming you’re legal, the HR interview is determining if you’re someone worth sitting next to. As the presenter said, be a good human and you’ll do fine. They asked one critical thinking question, which is featured in the study guide: if a jump... -

I do not have a ton to add that is not already available here on this website. The study guide published here is very accurate to the types of questions you will be asked in the HR and Technical Interview. My major advice is that if you are going to an in-person interview event, be ready to be there from 9 AM to 5 PM. Snacks, pastries, sodas, coffee, and water were provided, but it was a long day of waiting to be interviewed. Most candidates arrived over 30 minutes early to the venue. After... -

It was very similar to everything on the Study Guide. Was not asked about anything not provided here. Interview was in a large room with other interviews taking place. If you’re not good with background conversation practice in loud environments before going. Be personable and be yourself, there’s no wrong answer to the HR questions. Use it as an opportunity to show the interviewers who you are as a... -

The interview was pretty straightforward: know the symbology of Jepp plates; know 121 takeoff minimums from the 10-9 or 10-9A pages; know how to read that information. Make sure to read the notes. You’ll be given a taxi route, just look at what may concern you, so runway crossings, hotspots. They’ll ask you about the ARP and what it means so you put DFW into your gps it will take you to that point (airport reference point), wind socks, and beacon—know what they look like on... -

The interview itself was surprisingly easy. It lasted about 30 minutes. They started out by asking 5 HR questions such as why PSA, the deserted island question, and if I was over weight would I remove people or fuel. The FO gave me a flight plan from Detroit to Charlotte and I had to brief the departure procedure, STAR of her choice, and approach of her choice. I was given the ILS 18C at CLT. They started off by showing me a METAR and asking what considerations I would have about the... -

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... -
