Thanks for any info.
There are many interview gouges on the web and they are all pretty spot on. Here are my tips: 1. Study your Jepp charts thoroughly. Most pilots use NOS charts throughout IFR training and aren't familiar with the Jeppesen charts so compare and contrast the two versions to get a good understanding of the differences. 2. Review GPS systems and operations. If offered an interview you will be provided a link to a GPS refresher course and I advise you to take notes. 3. Review basic VFR and IFR stuff such as airspace wx / equipment regs as well as airspeed restrictions. 4. Spend some time in a sim or use a home flight sim software to practice IFR procedures.

The interview was a good experience for me and everyone at Planesense was friendly and welcoming. Study your material and bone up in the sim and you'll be fine. They'll make you feel right at home. One last tip. Make sure you have considered the lifestyle of this job. They will want to make sure that the schedule requirements will mesh well with your home life.

I hope this helps.
