Does anyone recall what some of the questions are on the PSA written? I looked on aviationinterviews, but found no real information.

Does anyone recall what some of the questions are on the PSA written? I looked on aviationinterviews, but found no real information.

Mostly ATP stuff and Approach plate questions. The test was recently changed from what I understand. I am no Air Inc. fan but they have a book called Questions, Questions that reviews all areas such as Aerodynamics, regs, weather and so on. Really good book. It also reviews situational and hr questions that you can review.

Good luck!!

bump.

I dont get it. Why dont you just try studying the atp book rather than depending on a gouge. I never liked gouges cuz people depend on them rather than putting the best foot forward.

just food for thought.

Save that crap for your students, son.

The reason that I don't go study the ATP written is that my sick-and-tired, furloughed ass took the test and had my checkride a long, long, long (and several type ratings) time ago and I have been making my living (barely) as an airline pilot long enough to know that I will not use 95% of that crap in the daily, monthly, or even yearly performance of my duties as a pilot. In other words, I just want to know what answers they are looking for so that I can play the game get in the door to the interview panel where -- hopefully -- they will ask me some pertinent questions.

Space Wrangler.....no one gives a crap what you have done in your past it does not make you exempt to an interview at any airline.... why dont you get your head out of where the sun dont shine and open an FAR/AIM and an ATP book and read through it.......PSA will eat up a cocky person like you at an interview..... PSA pilots are a good group of people and I am sure you would not fit in with an attitude like that...... go work for mesa

I could only remember 18 of 25, so here we go:

Min alt for IFR operations?
Where is windshear found in relation to a TRW?
Important characteristics of windshear?
Icing will accumulate at the highest rate when/where?
Min alt to intercept the ILS 6 g/s at BDL?
Go missed at what alt on the ILS 6/
"Min Fuel" means what?
"Resume own navigation" means what?
"Radar contact" means what?
MEA assures what?
Communication failure while holding re.: EFC?
Circle-to-land maneuver and lose visual on the rwy: turn which way on the missed?
You want to go missed early on an ILS: what do you do?
What is the most dangerous condition when landing behind a heavy re.: wake turbulence?
Techniques to stop hyperventilation?
TCAS II provides what?
How often does a 121 PIC have to have a P.C.?
Does a PIC have to have a line check in each type?

They said that the interviews are going to start being much more technical in nature b/c of some training problems. Mine was with Ken and the DAY C.P....pretty laid back, I'd say.

This will be the quickest upgrade in an RJ in the country IF they stay in business and IF they get all the acft that they're supposed to.

Humpalot -- you dork -- blow me.
