CFI2766: As far as I know, the early September interviewees (like myself) were the last to get the basic aeronautical knowledge written.

Speaking of, the difficult puzzle in this month's Sky Magazine is kicking my ass. Anybody figure it out?
They're still doing the same aeronautical knowledge test as they've been doing for a long time, they've added the tabular test.

And WTF does this have to do with aviation anyhow? I'm an ASA captain, and would surely fail this test. I'm not a numbers person. Does this mean I should be fired?

I'm in class now, everyone in my class got the 50 question ATP written style test at their interviews.
Flying is, at it's core, an exercise in information management. The user interface to this information is the flight controls and instruments and the goal is to control the airplane...but it's all information management.
Very well respected studies have proven that applicants who do well on tabular speed tests will also do well in the sim and later in the airplane. Conversely, applicants who do poorly on these tests will need more help in the sim and more IOE.
The test is a way to weed out weak applicants.
This is probably important now that they're taking 300 hr applicants who have no actual instrument flying experience, no experience outside of training and little to no decision making experience.
It seemed like a pretty good question to ask the interviewer
