Wonder what would be considered as the right answer to question 9 ( Below Minimums)
--
A Capt knowingly flying below minimums is dangerous. He may know the approach well and might be confident about being clear of any obstructions.
However, I am going to be veryyy uncomfortable at the time and the Jepp plates and the airline policy is gonna agree with me for it. (But thats just paper)

Co-pilot asks for a go around and risks irritating the Capt. Ask for it twice and aggravate him further.

I know I wouldnt mind arguing with the Capt for it.

Tricky situation though, wonder if all the interviewers will really appreciate a copilot who goes against his seniors judgement.

Same for 14, 15 and 23.


10, 11- I think it would be wise to gain the confidence of some senior Capt around at the base . Then maybe arrange for a ' random BA test".

I'd do that.

But again- a junior reporting against a senior.

I know such honesty is encouraged for the juniors.

But the question is- does it work in the real world scenario?
