1)on Descent, your captain dops below the glide slope. AS F/o, you bring it to his attention. HE doesnt respond to you or take corrective action. What shuould u do?

- Tell him again, inform him you are not happy with the approach and is he ok to continue it.

2)YOu are FO.YOur captain shows up wth what seems to be the smell of liquor on his breath. What would you do? Why? Other options?

- Ask him if he is happy to fly, inform him he should think about going sick, if he says he wants to fly say your feeling ill. Flight doesn't opperate.

3)You are given several complex tasks to perform. How would you approach accomplishing all of them in a reasonable period of time?

-Prioritise, don't rush them, keep calm.

4)Your FO. YOur captain is giving the FE (female) a very hard time. (apporaching sexual harrassment) What should you do?

-Depends what he is giving her a hard time about. If you can, say you will go and sort it. Go into the galley and discuss with FE.

5)YOu notice that your captain is not follwing the checklist. YOu bring it to his attention. He tells you he doesnt need to follow it-he knows it. What would you do? While in cruise, he starts reading a flight magazine. Should you say anything?

-Say that you don't know it, and you would like him to read it out for your benifit.

-As long as he is doing all of the other tasks required then its ok.

6)YOu are the captain. YOu observe a passenger giving a flight attendant a hard time. Woudl you intervene?Would you get involved?

-YES, ask what the problem is, remember you are responsible for the whole aircraft, remind him of this.

7)Passengers were told they could only take bags on board. one passenger were a frequent flyer and refuses to comply witht he rule. HOw would you handle this situation?

-Inform him that it is the policy for all passengers to only bring on bags. This is a safety reason and must not be broken. You appologise if it is not to his liking but rules are rules and must be complied with.

8)Under what circumtances do you feel that FO would be justified in taking control of the aircraft away from the captain?

-Incapacitation. If the captain is ill, or looking ill, or is flying in a very unsafe way.

9) A passenger has a heart attack while the aircraft is in cruise. The nearest arge airport is an hour and a half away. The passenger happens to be our brother. YOu are the captain. What would you do??

- Divert to the nearest airport, ask if theres a doctor aboard. What else can you do?
