buy and download the gleim ATP program. It has a searchable database so you can "ctrl+f" quick answers. probably $60 or so.

 

Great posts to get through the test.I took the test Wednesday at around 13:30 and got a phone call from Atlas about an hour and a half later. Spent about thirty five minutes on the phone talking about my resume and my experience, and got invited down to Miami on Tuesday for the interview.

Any ideas how many more classes they'll run this year?

Thx to all who submitted help for the tests on previous posts.

 

Looks like they've changed. It's online now (couldn't find one to download anywhere) and doesn't seem to have a search function. Is pretty useful to practice and helped me validate the gouge I already have. I found a few answers that were marked incorrectly in the Index of /faa_exam/atp site, according to Gleim at least.

 

Got the call this week for an interview next week. Appreciate all the gouge on here. It's been a huge help. Ive looked over the interview gouge, but if anyone has any last minute advice on the technical portion (or, really, anything) it would definitely be welcome!

 

Hey DoomedTX, please PM me...

 

They seem to go over the questions you missed on the test...if you know which ones you missed start taking notes, and finding the right answers. That way it shows that you...

1. Follow through,
2. Care about learning from your mistakes,
3. etc, etc!!

Good luck...relax, and also learn if the Company and the pilot lifestyle can work for you...especially if you end up in the 747 based in ANC for a year or two.

As for class dates, I have heard (and actually it was in a 767 Fleet Manager's update last month) that we are expecting between 8-10 classes (historically we run a class every three weeks of about 10-12 per class) with most being FO newbies, but some will have CA upgrade candidates sprinkled in as well.

 

I took the on-line test 9/24/14, got "the call" on 10/01/14. Answered about 5 questions and accepted an interview date of 10/09/14. Good luck to all of those who are interviewing this week.

 

My info may be a little bit dated, but my technical interview was very laid back. I was basically given a flight plan and wx for a 767 flight from CVG to EHAM on which I was to be the Captain. Questions that I remember were as follows...

1. Read the METAR and TAF for CVG
2. Know all airport signage you would encounter on the taxi route they give you...ie exiting ramp, ILS critical area, hold short lines, runway entrance signage.
3. Jepp charts...Runway distance available, length, width, and lighting.
4. A few V1 questions
5. A few questions about the STAR.
6. Oceanic deviation procedures.
7. A few questions about the SID in EHAM (crossing restrictions...etc.)
8. Max distance you can join localizer
9. Max distance you can join GS
10. Distance avail for landing
11. Appch lighting avail for specified runway

Im sure I left a few out as this is just off the top of my head. Also, he had blown up charts and pictures to read from. Also, for the airport signage, he had blown up charts and the question was multiple choice. IE, what would the sign look like when holding short of runway 27 at CVG, here are 3 choices.

The whole thing was very friendly and very laid back. Just relax and do the best
you can. I did well, but wasn't afraid to admit when I didn't know something.

Good luck to everyone!

 

Got the call to interview tomorrow. See y'all there!

 

Thanks for the response! It actually makes sense to base it on a real world scenario... Copy on the "don't try to BS" it piece...
