Cheers Leigh_logan! Ive finished my essay now, how are you getting on?
They said in the email that the interview will be focusing on technical questions, knowledge of flybe, and motivation to become a pilot with flybe. Though they say it is an extended interview (not sure how long that is) I cant see they will base it all on factual questions, as they could have just given us an exam paper. It will be questions like "why do you want to be a pilot?", "how do you handle pressure?", "Issues facing the industry".
Read the annual report on their website. Know the fleet, just numbers, types, engines, speed, max alt. Number of routes etc.
Technical questions will be things like "how does an ASI work?", "how does an a/c generate lift?"
Im just going over my PPL1 book, as that will be sufficient for the level of knowledge expected.
And just relax, smile, be yourself, and be honest. It is very suprising how much they will affect your chances.
Best of luck mate
