Interview questions for a pilot

RATM

Hey guys , me again. Thanks again for the dig out last time

Im just trying to come up with 5-10 sample technical questions that a qualified pilot might expect in a job interview for a major airline for this HR project I have due soon. Im kinda looking for technical questions rather than ones on motivational aspects or leadership qualities.

Ive trawled a load of pilot recruitment and training sites for the last hour without any joy, Im guessing its something they tell you are money has exchanged hands for a training course, etc.

If anyone knows of a site that might have these (or if you know a few off the top of your head) please post a link or reply below.

Hi RATM, you could try become a member of PPRUNE and ask over there.

Hope that helps.

how much fuel do you need for a flight
difference between advection fog and radiation fog
explain the approach ban
what frequencies do ILS lobes transmit
why use stabiliser fuel first
how does a monsoon form
whay is hypoxia
difference between wet V1 and dry V1
why are winglets used
explain de-ice holdover times/de-ice fluid types

I could probably answer eight of those. The others, some I used to know:( and some I never knew.

For RATM. I do believe there are examples on PPRuNe, particularly for Ryanair interviews but others as well.
