This then becomes an added advantage for the Pilot in handling situations.
Pilots are required to be skilled enough to perform all these duties and more, besides these, they are
requested to have salient abilities in multi-tasking with strong concentration power.
It would be best to prove citing examples, that you will be able to keep your mental calmness intact during
such problematic situations and you can with your expertise easily self-control the emergency and assign
tasks for crew members if necessary.
Modification of the flight course is a very vital responsibility and requires close contact with control towers and
attention to detail.
The achievements you gained counts as your big success. Your boss told you that you had done a great
performance. All those achievement cards, rewards & awards will speak about your success.
Your dream is to work for the company and you can cross any hurdle to achieve success in this company too.
14. What lesson have you achieved from mistakes from your
pilot job?
You have to be very honest about such a question. Your answer has to be brief and to the point.
You cannot tell a lie that your career has been flawless. Your answer reflecting a positive aspect where you
have learned from your mistake will add an advantage to your answer.
It is very common that you might fall short somewhere, you may make mistakes its human nature, but not all
employers give a very positive gesture on that. There are people who find a learner in such situations and
help them learn from the mistakes made.
Here your answer would be stronger if you could add examples of your mistakes where you had a positive
take-home effect.
Answer samples:
“I am a constant learner and prefer learning even from my mistakes. My mistakes in my career have made me
more alert and confident in those situations. My knowledge has enhanced and skills sharpened from
mistakes.”
Activities related to positive self-improvement should be mentioned. Most employers look for employees who
are goal-oriented.
Exhibition of readiness for a life-long learning process is desirable. Regardless of what hobbies you choose to
showcase yourself, you must remember that the goal behind everything is to prove yourself as self-sufficient,
good at time management, and highly motivated.
One may frame answers like “I am a person who prefers to learn in a continuous process and also learn
more deeply from my mistakes”.
My learning enhances with discussions with seniors and experienced fellows in the field as well. I prefer to
regularly upgrade myself with new courses and certifications and also attending job-related seminars &
workshops.
If your answer to this question is like “no you do not have one”, the interviewer is assured that you are lying.
A personal weakness description would put you in a false position. A mention of weakness may reveal a point
which might not be beneficial, your employer would put you in stake. So look to mention a flaw that would
reflect your good qualities rather.
For example:
I do not like sitting back idle, I am always into some kind of constant reading and upgrading.
I am not much fluent in communications and like to develop the same with more public speech and
presentations at work.
Here, you have to exhibit those things in your career of which you are proud of. You have to point your key
achievements, people involved, your role and your take-homes. These will definitely work to impress your
interviewer.
If you have not many career-related achievements, try mentioning some of your personal achievements
where you can highlight your social skills like communication, teamwork, presentation.
You may be very good and able in handling stress & pressure, just mention them with examples. How you
handled them, what were your key responsibilities and how you executed.
Your answer would add stars if you mention cases where you were unable to handle such situations, you
even sought expert advice & guidance where from you also learnt lessons, would simply showcase your
inclination towards betterment.
19. What are the 3 most vital things you must report before
entering into a hold?
Expect the further clearance time, the time of arrival at the holding fix and altitude needs to be reported on
time.
20. What does the MSA circle on the approach plate means
and mention its use?
The Lowest altitude that provides at least 1000ft obstruction or terrain clearance within 25 miles of the navaid
it is based off.
This is used for emergency purpose only and does not always adhere to signal coverage.
The ground has the capacity to quickly cool down overnight and the air just above the ground space cools
immediately as well, a presence of moisture in it cools to its dew point thus forming fog.
22. Would you not mind flying fatigue? What are the
countermeasures to avoid in-flight fatigue?
No, I would never fly fatigue. Flying fatigue impacts a lot.
There are a number of new solutions and countermeasures that are prevalent to lower the rate of fatigue in
pilots. They are:
Cockpit napping:
During a 90 minutes flight, a small nap provision of 40 minutes has proven results in better attention and
better Psychomotor Vigilance Test results.
This has resulted in faster response rates and fewer lapses than the control group who has not availed the
napping provision.
In-seat cockpit napping is also a risk management tool but still not employed by most of the airlines.
Activity breaks:
These are another most important technique to counter in-flight fatigue. Higher fatigue rates are seemed to
coincide with the circadian trough where the body temperature gets low.
Science reveals that a higher rate to pilot in-flight fatigue prevails in those who have not taken a walk or any
other activity breaks.
In-flight roistering:
A roistered system in the flight could give a set of well-rested crew team who are alert and are well able to
support in vital in-flight situations.
A proper roister could give enough time for a set of crew to have activity breaks, cockpit napping, bunk sleep,
etc.
Further in-depth research needs to be conducted on the optimal number of crew members sufficient for
properly rested crew members to operate the in-flight operations.
Bunk sleeping:
Another very effective fatigue management technique is bunk sleeping. Based on the time zone from which
the pilot takes off, he can decide and fix a time span when he may feel drowsy. He can assign this time for a
Bunk sleep to keep himself alert when he is in the seat.
Make the most out of the first impression, it really counts. The person on the other side of the table is
competent enough to figure you out in the first few seconds of meeting you.
Your body language at the interview must be open & receptive with eye contact with the interviewer.
Have ample & adequate knowledge about the airline.
You should be properly groomed as a professional pilot, the professional dress code for the industry is
suit & tie, and it should be properly maintained.
Be punctual to arrive at the interview.
A well based technical knowledge and win over the impressing tips will surely help you to crack through the
job of a Pilot.
