The only issue is I just started a trip that will take me through the week. Does anyone know if it is possible to properly prepare for this test using only a hotel computer. I wish I was at home with all of my Aviation Books. Any info would be great on how to prepare. Thanks:rolleyes:


A lot of the guys have used the Ace the Technical Pilot Interview...and you can get a pdf version at eBooks.com - Ace the Technical Pilot Interview eBook

Might be worth the $29.95 since you are on a trip...good luck.

Sure it is! I had a six hour window to get prepared so that, if I passed, I would be in line to make a certain interview group. My advice to everyone (besides drink heavily) is to make sure you answer EVERY question, do not leave ANY question unanswered!

Good Luck,

cargo

Thanks for the info. I'm going to download the book. Since my laptop is Tango Uniform, I will see if it can download to my email so I can print it out at the hotel. Wish me luck.

Be-warned about that book. Lots of incorrect things. Check out the reviews

When I spoke to them via phone they asked me if I was in the middle of a trip and when I told them yes she said to not worry about it and to take it when I got home. Did they ask you that or did you let them know that you were on a trip? If so they seemed to be very understanding about it.

I'd agree with the above. Like any good pilot, CRM and the use of ALL available hardware, software, AND liveware is to your benefit when you take that thing.
