Etihad A330 Interview

Hi Folks ,

going to attend Etihad interview in 3 weeks for 3 days in Abu Dhabi for a A330 First Officer position ....
If anybody knows what it consists of or has any feedback .. It would really be welcome ...

On another hand I would like to know if anybody could tell me the formula for A320 and for the A330 to calculate Green Dot according to the Gross Weight and the Altitude ..
many many thanks
Anelka

I believe green dot speed on the 320 is gross weight x2 +80.
So for 65T = 210kts.
Not sure what it is on 330.
Just out of interest what experience do you have?
Good luck.

I don't have a lot lot of experience but am current on the A330 ..
1700 on A330
and 2500 on A320 ..
Thanks for the formula .. I believe that there is a factor to be added above a given altitude ...???
Cheers

A320 from FCOM 3.04.10.......

Green dot speed.
Engine-out operating speed in clean configuration.
(Best lift-to-drag ratio speed).
Also corresponds to the final takeoff speed.
Represented by a green dot on the PFD scale.
Below 20 000 feet equal to 2
× weight (tons) + 80
Above 20 000 feet, add 1 knot per 1000 feet.


A330 from FCOM3.04.10.......


Green dot speed.
Engine-out operating speed in clean configuration.
(Best lift-to-drag ratio speed).
Also corresponds to the final takeoff speed.
Represented by a green dot on the PFD scale.
With all engines running :
– Below 20000 feet equal to 0.6
× weight (tons) + 107 knots
– Above 20000 feet, add 1 knots per 1000 feet.

With at least one engine-out, subtract 10 knots in the above situations
