Sample questions and detailed explanations commonly asked during a professional pilot's technical interview.

Ace the Technical Pilot Interview covers 1000 questions (with answers and in-depth explanations) in 71 categories of the type commonly asked during a prospective pilot's job interview; based on research of interviewing processes of several major airlines including United, Delta, American, Cathay Pacific, KLM, Lufthansa, Air Alaska, and others.

From the Introduction: In most pilot interviews you will be asked some technical questions. The scope that may be asked is vast, and obviously a major part of the decision as to who gets hired is based on how well you answer these questions. The degree to which you might be examined also varies considerably. Some operators will ask only one or two questions, whereas other will grill the applicant with questions of increasing difficulty. Fortunately though, the interviewer generally is happy if you can answer an adequate percentage of those questions.
