Started by stating we are doing a flight out of CVG. Taxi to runway 27 and then the runway becomes unusable because of disabled aircraft on runway, now you are cleared to, and will depart 08, what things do you need to do, keep in mind for departing different runway. Asked if V1 or Vr would change, no, because they are weight dependent. Asked about wx going below mins outside FAF, can you continue. Shoot the missed, and what altitude will you climb to, what was on the particular chart, 3,000 in this case, i kind of hold entry, what is your holding speed at 3,000. Was asked to read three European METARS, one TAF from Brussels. Pointed to Lat/Lon lines and asked what they were. Asked showed some symbols, which were Cyclones on a chart, the direction of their movement. Asked a little about SLOP, NAT, weather and contiSrngency deviations for NAT. Symbols for Volcanoes somewhere in SE Asia. Different weatherhphu symbols on PROG charts. Pointed to another line, which was an Isobar. What is the MAP on an ILS. That's about all I remember about mine.
Other people were only asked a question or two, and the rest of their was just chatting about life with Atlas. Just have to be prepared for the more extensive one.
HR portion was why Atlas. Can you handle 17 days on the road. TMAAT where you used CRM in an emergency or any other situation. How will you make the transition from whatever you are flying now, to a 747. HR portion is much more tailored to whatever is on your resume, hard to study for. They really wanted to see a passion for intl travel and want to know you can stay on the road for extended periods of time without whining like a little girl.
Those were the notes I took in January. I got the April 4th class.
