Ace Your Technical Pilot Interview Course

Meet a certified flight instructor guiding you through ten topic-based questions and answers to ace the airline technical interview. Nine videos cover popular topics from books, blogs, and training departments.

Master the fundamentals of air dynamics and aerodynamics, including lift and drag, airfoils, wing geometry, and high lift devices, through essential pilot interview questions.

Examine how weight and center of gravity shape aircraft performance and stability, detailing effects on takeoff, stall speed, range, descent point, and how fuel, passengers, and cargo shift CG.

Master primary flight controls, including the elevator, ailerons, and rudder, plus spoilers, flaps, leading edge slats, and trim, and learn how hydraulics and artificial feel enhance control surface effectiveness.

Explore propulsion fundamentals for pilot interviews, covering piston engine cycles, ignition, normally aspirated versus turbocharged, variable pitch propellers, jet engine cycles, thrust management, noise, and reduced thrust concepts.

Explore aviation meteorology essentials for pilot interviews, covering density altitude, pressure, temperature effects, lifting actions, weather fronts, thunderstorms, wind shear, icing, and metar terminology.

Explore indicated, calibrated, equivalent, true, and ground speeds, local speed of sound, and Mach numbers, and how altitude and temperature affect performance.

Explore magnetic compass operation and errors, navigation aids including global positioning system, inertial navigation system, vor, ndb/adf, ils, and dme, plus radio and radar navigation concepts.

Delve into performance and flight planning, calculating takeoff and landing distances, speed regimes (v1, v2, vmcg), weight, density altitude, wind, and runway effects to ensure safe, efficient operations.

Ace your technical pilot interview course explains human performance and limitations, including hypoxia at altitude, hyperventilation, visual illusions like the blackhole effect, and safety rules for alcohol and scuba diving.
