A few examples. I'm currently on the 747 and am interviewing for that position. When they say tech. questions, do they mean on the 74 or something else. Next, they say that an hour of the process is an interview that is partly tech. and partly personal. How much are we talking about here?

Lastly, is all of the training done in HKG? I am interviewing for the 74 freighter. I am going to get based in the states right?

I know that some of these questions sound pretty basic, but I really don't know much about the place. I'd really appreciate the help.

Best Regards,

Examples from years past:


What happens to specific fuel consumption as you climb higher?

What are the aerodynamic effects of a swept wing?

What is the relationship of altitude and performance of the jet engine?

A forward or aft CG is more efficient in cruise?

Why?

ASDA is TORA plus what?

Describe a fan engine?

Describe how you would design a high speed aircraft wing?

How many feet in a millibar?

How do you prevent spanwise flow on a wing?

What are the effects of compressibility?

How does temperature affect the speed of sound?

and my personal favorite

What is the transport wander of an uncorrected gyro?



If you don't have a degree in aerodynamics then you'd better spend a month preparing for the tech portion of the interview.
