This is the type of info they are looking for. A working knowledge of your A/C. If you show up and say " I dunno, I just fly it!" They will think you are from the shallow end of the gene pool and look to the candidate that spent the time preparing themselves for their potential new employer.
Interviews are a game......luck is when preparation meets opportunity!
Well, you have a valid point there. The funny funny thing that when it comes to regs I was walking FAR/AIM as a CFI. As an airline pilot I figure that I know about 20% of what I used to. I really think that going to an interview straight from a CFI gig requires a lot less study than for someone that flew for the airlines for couple of years. Oh well, gotta go study for my interview. Good luck to you all!
