Last week assessment

Hello chaps, just did the assessment... hope it might help:

HR interview
  • How did u get interested in aviation?
  • Why are you here?
  • Talk me trough your resume
  • Why do you want to work with/for us? (HR dude is going to ask you this one!)
  • Can you tell me some RYR routes out of London?
  • How do you see yourself in 5/6 years from now?

Technical interview:
  • Advantages and disadvantages of a swept wing
  • Why swept wing has low lifting capability @ low speed and how do we solve this issue?
  • Why do we fly high and fast? What is engine efficiency?
  • Coffin corner/At constant TAS what happen to IAS/CAS in a climb?
  • Why don't we fly fast all the way down the RWY?
  • How many seats RYR 737?
  • Do we have Winglets? Are they useful?
  • Electrical system of your last multi flown
  • What's an INS? What's the differences with a GPS?
  • Basic principle of a turbofan engine and basics differences compared to a gas turbine engine
  • Explosive decompression and TUC

If there's anything else I can remember I will update the lists. It has been underlined several time, each candidate will have a different set of questions, especially as far as the technical interview is concerned.

Sim session:
  • Out of RWY 27 EGGP/LPL on WAL2T
  • On level off, turning climb/turning decent/accelerations/decelerations
  • Climb out @ 1000 ft/min 240kts and decent @ 1000 ft/min 240kts
  • Smoke in the cabin degenerate in fire
  • Steep turns
  • Procedural/vectored NDB/DME rwy 27 EGGP and go around as per missed app. brief strip
  • Procedural/vectored ILS app (possible go-around)
  • Visual land

Sim session is pretty standard, speaking of emergency you can have either the smoke or the engine failure.
Good luck!!
Cheers
