Interviews were being held in Daytona Beach, FL instead of their New Hampshire base.

I started with technical questions instead of HR first. The questions were very easy ie. point out the FAF, IAF on an approach. How would you contact ATC to leave this uncontrolled airport in IMC?(There was an FSS frequency that you would use). Where is the missed approach point if you were flying this ILS/LOC? What considerations would you take into account departing this runway?(obstacle departures instructions). You are flying IFR at 4000 feet through Atlanta's class B airspace, what is you max speed limit? What is the max distance from the runway if you were to circle to land?

Next was HR. They were very nice and told me about the company and benefits. Asked a few simple questions about customer service. They are looking for people with good customer relations skills because your flying high end clients. Then they asked me if I had any questions.

Last was the Sim ride. We used a Seminole simulator. They just said treat it like a single and gave me a few power settings that would work on the approach to landings. I had 5 minutes to play with it to get used to its very, very sensitive pitch. They scramble all the NAV freq's so I have to set everything up before take off. After a little practice doing steep turns n stuff they put be on a base leg to Portsmouth, I think ILS 34. I don't remember. Anyhow, they vectored me to the localizer then cleared me for the approach. I went missed at DA and as I was flying to the hold over the NDB they asked what kind of entry. After I told them they froze the sim and said good job.

I hope this helps. Everyone there was very pleasant and the kind of people I would like to work with. It was an enjoyable experience.

I got a call 2 weeks later and was offered a job.
