Hello everyone!!!
i recently did my phone interview, but at the end she mentioned that she would forward my resume to the chief pilot and depending on his decision, they would contact me further.
I was not told to take any online test. Does this mean i failed my phone interview?
reading from other guys, it seems they were given the link for an online test during their phone interview.

I would gladly be the guinea pig for a new test, or any version of the old. I really appreciate the encouraging words gearcrankr, and will give position reports for any waypoints cleared to.
For now it is gate hold and awaiting a call back from clearance...

Questions look familiar, but there are a few that I'm sure I DIDN'T get (5 days ago), so maybe they already have a bank of more than 50 questions that the test pulls from? That should more than spell out where to target any studying though.

If this is the guy I think it is, check your "pipe" PM's. But I think you answered it here.

My understanding is that there is indeed a large bank of questions and the test rotates among them. One commonality between exams seems to be that the thing is weighted heavily toward esoteric weather questions. It was for mine and has been for most of the folks with which I've spoken since. It's good to have access to METAR and TAF codes available. Also, spend some time on the more obscure markings on the high level prog charts.
See you on line soon!

For all of you, who need help.....here it is, the questions on the test....good luck & Merry Christmas!!
1. Rwy centerline lights last three thousand remaining? ( color)
2. Symbol for moderate icing
3. Symbol for sever squall line
4. On ILS31 JFK max hold speed in the hold
5. Final approach fix on the ILS31 JFK?
6. Final approach fix on the ILS31 G/S INOP JFK?
7. CAT1 approach on short final WX 1600RVR in all zones. Regarding Approach Ban? to continue or go around?
8. FL310, speed 540kts, descending to 16,000ft. How much time?
9. Metar winds reports are true or magnetic?
10. Metar winds if light and variable definition?
12. TAF from what time to what time winds will be XYZ station?
13. TAF from what time to what time it will be MIFG?
14. Balance field lengths? for wet rwy? how much correction can you take to reduce your V1?
14. when you are descending to altitude, you set what? QNE? QNF? QNH?
15. When you are climbing to FL ,you set what? QNH? QNE? QNF?
16. Question about current barometric pressure calculation on a given day?
17. How to find ISA Temp at given altitude.( FL310 temp-40c)
18. symbol "V" means what? verga? Fog? volcanic ash? etc
19. what is screen height? on given rwy?
20. Two engine climb gradient?
21. Given wind speed and direction on approach, want to know if can expect different rwy with wind limit of 10kts tail wind? can you accept?
22. JFK chart (10-9) airport diagram want to know about enroute clearance? (which statement is true) basically you need route clearance before you request for taxi.
23. TAF wind direction is true or magnetic?
24. Jet engine bleed air valves are used for what? pick a statement.
25. On JFK approach chart for ILS31 and asked you are in hold and you lost your radio, when will you depart hold? (two answers are similar) pick the one which says depart hold close to the EFC.
26. On JFK approach chart ask when will you start the approach if given this clearance etc?
27. RVSM airspace separation and flight levels?
28. LRC if you have 50kts head wind what will you do? in order to meet the profile?
29. SLOP what is the deviation on each side and who has the authority?
30. If RVR is in effect what is controlling? Do you need deck ceiling or just vis?
31. Out of Zurich read some TAF forecast vis? ( make sure you pick the one in knots not km)? JAR ops
32. Again another Zurich TAF to find out what will be the weather in certain time window....e.i Becoming, Tempo, etc
33. Ops Spec can you amend your approach mins?
