I found it to be spot on.


Interview Questions from Captain/Union rep & CP:
Any failed check rides?
Any DUIs?
Any emergencies that you have had.
No TMAAT questions, thank goodness.
Any problem flying multiple leg days with Silver?
No tech questions.
Very low key, non threatening.


Frasca 142 sim was set up like the Beech 1900.
Pitch & bank extremely difficult to keep on target. If you look away more than a few seconds, you will be off altitude & heading. No stability. I got some recent Frasca practice, which helped. Instructor apologized for sim & was not looking for stick & rudder perfection, just procedures. T.O., one hold & one ILS to landing. No failures. I was off a dot high on ILS, due to the sim, but broke out & landed. I thought I could have done better, (don’t we all...) but instructor seemed OK with my performance.


50 question test with some FAR part 91, & 121 regs & ATP type questions.
I studied my Gleim book, which helped, but the questions appear to be created "in house", not directly from a real FAA test.
