Greetings;

First let me introduce myself. I am 24 year old, male, working full time as a mechanical engineering and also studying on my masters degree on automotive engineering.

This summer I've applied my national airline as a first pilot candidate. I am talking about Turkish Airlines. So, there is 4 phases you should pass.

First phase is called DLR1, where you answer physics, mathematics, english knowledge questions and also there are 8 more modules that tests your concentration, attention, hand-eye-ear coordination, speed skills.

Good thing is that I've learnt that I've passed it.

So, next phase in front of me is DLR2, where I will sit in front of a Captain Pilot and 3 German psychologist. We will talk each other 60-70 mins. They will talk about my CV, and 10 questions that I answered about myself in a paper.As I've read from forum, they ask questions about myself a lot and they tend to focus on my negative traits to stress the person out. Also, Captain Pilot asks couple of technical question which I have no idea about what he will ask.

My question is, how should I prepare for this interview. I am not a pilot. I am an engineer who wants to become a pilot at age 24.

Would you give me some advices? How should I prepare and on what topics should I focus on?

Any experiences?

 

There are a few books out there that help with pilot interviews if you have enough time to order the book. "Checklist for success" is a very good one.
Think about your negative traits and how you are working on improving them.
Think about negative experiences you've had (difficulties in classes, failure at something) and how you've used that experience to better yourself. Come up with several different situations to prepare yourself for whatever questions they might ask.
