Mar 14, 2023 HR interview is pretty straight forward, all questions listed in the study guide were asked. Recruiter tells you about the company and throws in some qualifications/tell me about a time questions which are all very easy to answer. Technical interview was more difficult than expected. Mine consisted of questions about the G430, some regulations (91.175 in particular) and the structure of the technical was a standard 3 day leg working as a northeast pilot for Tradewind. asked about the TEB4...

Feb 07, 2023 There were 3 parts in the interview process and they were pretty straightforward. The first interview was an HR interview that focused primarily on the company. The interviewer gave a presentation on the company and asked a few yes or no questions during it. The second interview was an IFR technical that was solely IFR. Treat this interview as an IFR checkride, as the interviewer cannot help you answer questions. If you pass this interview, then you will go to a simulator evaluation...

Jan 02, 2023 The interviews went about as smooth as I could’ve hoped for. Almost all the questions asked were listed on this website. First interview was HR only. Second interview was the IFR heavy technical. It’s a points based interview with a fixed number of questions. The study guide will prepare you decently, but also study instrumentation. Be proficient and have a thorough understanding of all things IFR. A very basic understanding of part 135 IFR would help too, but no questions were... Continue reading this interview experience

Dec 21, 2022 This guide was very close to the real thing. HR interview was an overview of the company with some questions about yourself, such as why you chose them over a 121 operation. They really emphasize that you understand their training contract. The technical was straight forward, like a mock instrument checkride. Know how to brief SIDs and instrument approaches using the takeoff minimums/non-standard alternate pages if they apply to your scenario, they let you use either FAA or Jeppesen charts....

Dec 21, 2022 This guide was pretty accurate. HR interview is basically an overview of the company with some questions about yourself. They want to make sure you understand the training contract in order to move forward. The technical was straightforward, like an instrument checkride. Know how to brief depatures and approaches using the takeoff minimums and non-standard alternate minimums if they apply to your scenario. I was asked to brief the TEB4 and ILS 24 at MVY. There were one or two chart symbol... Continue reading this interview experience

Dec 14, 2022 The HR interview was very laid back it was about an hour long discussing and explaining the type of service Tradewind provides and also asking about my experience and qualifications as well as contract terms if i would to work for Tradewind. The technical was schedules few days after and that one was pretty IFR heavy. My interviewer was really nice but the Technical is not for someone who is not prepared, start Prepping for it before once you submit your application. i was asked few VFR...

Dec 08, 2022 The HR interview was pretty straight forward. 75% of it was him going over the company's history, benefits, and the current state of the company. It's basic HR questions so just be yourself and keep a smile. The technical interview is IFR heavy so be on top of your ground knowledge before going into it. Review Star's and Sids, IFR altitudes and approach plate/en route low chart symbology and you'll be just fine. Then Sim, (View the sim/scenario section in the study guide of this...
