Thing is, I'm wondering if anyone here knows whether the FAA FTP written exam questions (done in 2012, and stated twice in this thread) are current and whether it will be applied during the following interviews in Japan?
Thanks.
Just did it the other day.
Stuff like:
- In turbulent jetstream, which way do you go to get out of it if the ambient temp. decreases or increases
- extended over water operations require what equipment?
- define the speed at which point a take off should be continued in order to reach a safe altitude above the departure end of the runway
the rest were like the questions previously posted, but I was told this wasn't graded.
My personal opinion is focus more on the SIM. It's all about the SIM. If you haven't flown wide body or come from a more modern glass cockpit you will have difficulty with the scan for sure! If you want the job I would HIGHLY recommend getting an hour in the sim prior to the assessment.
