Default iPad Technical Interview

I recently heard that Horizon is now doing a iPad written test at the start of the interview. Does anyone have any more information on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't pass an instrument check ride today, well, I have bad news for you. Study the red book as well as the ATP oral exam guide. You will need to know both to be a safe pilot, which should be more important to you than knowing the questions to get the job offer. I would rather fly with the former pilot, not the latter.

I don't mind opening myself up to potential ridicule in order to learn something. What is this red book you speak of?

ASA Instrument Pilot Oral Exam Guide... at least that is what my guess would be.

No ridicule for asking good questions. My apologies for being vague. Ty is correct, the Instrument Oral Exam Guide.
Of course, the best materials would be the FAA documents (FAR/AIM, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Procedures Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook, Aviation Weather, and Aviation Weather Services).

Thanks! I suppose I should've picked up on that from context. I did the Mil-Comp for my Commercial/Instrument many moons ago so I didn't spend much time on the civilian study guides. Now that I have my sights on a 121 career (with a 3-year break in flying) I'm getting into all of those FAA references with a little Everything Explained thrown in for good measure. Lots of rust to knock off.

I'm just seeing how relevant this information is. What's the best method to prepare for the iPad test? Sheppard air airline interview version? (they won't sell me the ATP test prep). Aviationinterviews.com? Other kind of test prep?

The Sheppard Interview prep is ok, but not specifically tailored to QX's questions, but I did like the added prep.

The aviationinterviews.com account was the most helpful. Try to make time to read it all. You don't have to memorize everything from there, but at least reading about something they might ask you and have some sort of answer already is better than deer in the headlights.

Edit: if you read through the content on aviationinterviews.com and are totally stumped on a lot of it, you need more prep.
