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...

Honestly my interview was kinda odd. Not as conversational as I was expecting based on what I heard from other peopleâ??s experiences. Started off intros/then CRM, 0-123 rule, jepp charts, 10-9, STAR, METAR/TAF, brief approach, swept wing, Mach tuck, jet engine, electrical system of current aircraft, whatâ??s a circuit breaker? No exemption question, no coffin corner, no Dutch roll, no hot/hung start, Basically just question after question and zero feedback on any answer I gave or... -

Interview went very well. Started off with introductions and how I got into flying. I was then asked a few TMAAT questions. Following that, we went into a few scenario based CRM questions/scenarios. Followed by weather theory, IFR related questions, Jepp charts, high altitude aerodynamics, and systems. We spoke about the aircraft that I mostly fly, including a few questions on systems and operations of the aircraft. The interview ended with a review of hours and a few questions on... -

Interview was very straight forward, started with introductions, went into my logbook and certs for the first bit. We started off with a CRM situation of a passenger in the back having a medical emergency just prior to descent from denver to SLC with 25 mins for the eta. Wanted to hear you play captain and give orders to first officer and FAs, dispatch etc. High altitude operations, electricial system, thunderstorms, METARS, TAFS were all very quick, once they saw you have a good... -

Started off with a really nice captain who retired a couple years ago but still does interviews. He spent almost 28 years at Skywest and started off the interview with his introductions and his story as to why he got into flying we talked a lot about what to expect on the interview including CRM. he was very good at blending general discussions to keep nerves down with technical questions, (view the study guide of this website). We discussed an approach Briefing that he briefed and... -

Interview was with a 20 year captain and overall the experience was great! I felt well prepared and confident going into it, gave myself about 4 weeks, used the study guide, made flashcards, practice talking in front of the camera helps. Started off basic with introductions, what airplane I would want, no tell me about a time questions for me. From there went straight into technical, he was tech heavy, high altitude aerodynamics, swept back, mach tuck, bleeds, how a jet starts, APU, I had no... -

Interviewer was nice and very casual. Started with flight times, then TMAT questions, (view the study guide of this website). Then we went into technical. Understand everything Jepp... We reviewed the taxi diagram â?? displaced threshold, blast pad, and lighting. Then we reviewed SID and STAR. I was asked questions. Be prepared and have fun with the interviewer and you will... -

Super straight forward and relaxed interview. 2 year FO as my interviewer, immediately went in to introducing ourselves then to basic HR questions and required Skywest questions (30/60/90/365/PIC/Multi...). After that we went into technical- Jepp charts were the heaviest part for me, followed by a doozy of a METAR and TAF accompanied with basic weather theory and 121 regs (Part 3585, Derived alternate minimums and Takeoff mins). We then went over turbine theory pretty extensively, so have a... -

Good interview! FO for 2.5 years. Very friendly.CRM, HR, total hours. Technical is straight from the study guide. Not looking for perfection, just trying to see how we manage the risk and make inflight decisions. Study the guide and you will do well. Good... -

Interview was basically as described by other pilots on here. Interview was conducted by a very senior E175 captain. Prior to starting the interview he emailed me 10-9 and 10-9A plates for KCDC, the 11-1 for the ILS RWY 20 into CDC, and an airport signage legend (minus the signage answers, etc). Interview went as follows: Started out with introductions, he introduced himself and his prior experience that led to him flying for Skywest. I then introduced myself and talked about my journey to... -

Interview started at 8am Central (7am MST). We first went over general HR topics like flight time (TT, PIC, XC, Instrument excluding simulator, SIC time, Multi, Night PIC), then was asked if I had any checkride failures. First technical subject we covered was decoding the TAF for KMSP. Make sure you can decode a random TAF real-time under pressure. Next we went into the 10-9 Jepp chart for KMSP. I was asked about a displaced threshold, if there were any on the chart and the definition, then...
