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...

Interview was fairly relaxed. Interviewer introduced himself, asked me to introduce myself. Quick background information. Began with asking why SkyWestâ?Â, (view the study guide of this website). After that, he moved into my hours. I have my R-ATP, so it was fairly quick and he did not ask to see any logbooks. He asked on a scale of 1-10 how proficient do I feel in my IFR flying skills. Next was weather. Started with a METAR and TAF. Pretty straightforward. TAF had a TEMPO line. He... -
