Airline Pilot Technical Interviews: Prepare for the Questions That Test Your Knowledge

Cover of Airline Pilot Technical Interviews from ASA

An airline interview usually has two halves. One is about who you are: your judgment, your teamwork, how you handled a bad day. The other is technical, and it can catch experienced pilots off guard. A question about a regulation you haven’t looked at since your instrument rating, or a weather chart you haven’t read in years, is hard to answer well under pressure.

Airline Pilot Technical Interviews is an ASA title built for that second half. It helps you rebuild the technical knowledge an interview panel may probe, so the answers come back quickly when you’re sitting across the table.

Quick answer: Airline Pilot Technical Interviews (ASA-ATP-INT-4) is an ASA book for pilots preparing for the technical portion of an airline interview, from regional applicants to experienced pilots changing carriers, available on Skyfarer and at Skyfarer Shop.

How to prepare with it

  1. Start early. Begin a few weeks before the interview so you can work through weak areas instead of cramming.
  2. Answer out loud. Practice explaining answers verbally; a correct answer delivered clearly counts for more than one you have to fish for.
  3. Pair it with your own flying. Tie answers to aircraft and operations you know, which makes them more convincing.
  4. Mock interview. Have a pilot friend quiz you from the book in random order.

Pilot tip: When you don’t know an answer in an interview, say so and explain where you would look it up. Panels generally respect honesty more than a confident guess.
