PSA Interview Questions
 

I have seen the gouge for the PSA interview written test and would like some help on some answers.

1) On a GPS approach how much sensitivity is required at FAWP?
2) A localizers angular area of operational service volume provides from blank to blank degrees either side of the course along a radius of 10 miles.
3)What are the flight time limits for domestic carrier 2 person crew?
4)What altitude do you cross the inner marker?
5)Distance between papallel runways?

1) 0.3 to 1.0 RNP (Required Navigational Performance)
2) 35 DEG
3)
4) DA(H)
5)

These are off of the top of my head...If I am wrong please correct..

4) Altitude at inner marker?

DH for CATII approach. I think

Yeah, IM is the DH for whatever cat approach you are flying CAT I MM and IM are the same if 200 DH. At least that is what I thought!

1)
En route +/- 5.0 N.M.
Terminal +/- 1.0 N.M.
Approach +/- 0.3 N.M.


2)
35 degrees to either side out to 10 N.M.
10 degrees to either side from 10 to 18 N.M.


3)
1000 / year
100 / month
30 / week
8 / day


4)
OM - 1400 AGL
MM - 200 AGL
IM - 100 AGL (CAT II DH)


5)
ILS/PRM approaches - centerline separated by at least 3,400'

o What is Definition of V1
Critical engine failure speed or decision speed. Engine failure below this speed shall result in an aborted takeoff; above this speed the take off run should be continued.
o What is Definition of V2
Take off safety speed which must be attained at the 35-foot height at the end of the required runway distance. The best one-engine inoperative angle of climb.
o What are the minimum cloud and visibility requirements of Class C airspace
500 below, 1000’ above, 2000’ horizontally and 3-SM
o On a GPS approach, how much sensitivity is required at FAWP
0.3 nm
o A Localizers angular area of operational service volume provides from blank to blank degrees either side of the course along a radius of 10 NM?
35 degrees to each side
o What are the legal limits for alcohol and being a crewmember
8 hours before the flight or 0.04/part 121 operators prefer 12 hours
o What are flight time limits for flag carrier for 2 person crew
8 hours in 24-hour period, 32 hours in 7 days, 100 hours in 30 days and 1000 hrs in any calendar year
o What are the flight time limits for domestic carrier 2 person crew
8 hours in 24-hour period, 32 hours in 7 days, 100 hours in 30 days and 1000 hrs in any calendar year
o What are the DH and RVR requirements for Cat I approach
2400 RVR or ½ SM 200’ DA or 1800 RVR ¼ SM with RCL and TDZ lights
o Runway aiming markers are position how far from threshold
o 1000’
o Choose example of what a NOTAM (L) would cover
TAXIWAY CLOSURE,
o You are flying to the station on the360 radial, you have to hold on the 220 radial left (some test have right turns) turns, type of entry
o PARALLEL
o What is the definition of Hypoxia
o Reduced oxygen or not enough oxygen getting to the brain
o Maximum airspeed below 10,000
o 250 KTS
o FAR 121 requires a turbojet to land in what percent of runway at destination and from how high
o 60%
o Alternates required for turbojet,
o 70%
o Characteristics of wind direction in high pressure area
o Downwards, outwards and clockwise
o Type of clouds associated with strong (sever) turbulence
o Comulonimbus, Lenticular, Rotor Clouds (mountain wave)
o How long should inbound leg be flown above 14,000 feet
 Choices: 1 min, 1min 30 sec, 4nm, 6nm
o Category C approach airspeeds
o 121 to 140 KTS
o Category E approach airspeeds
165 KTS OR MORE
o When can you sidestep to another runway
 Choices: DH, FAF, runway environment is in sight, and one other

o Upon arrival at DH, what are the requirements to descend?
 You pick one which doesn’t allow you to descend (beacon)
o At what altitude do you cross middle marker, inner marker
o Middle Marker 200 above the runway elevation, inner marker
o Resume own navigation means
o That you are responsible for your own navigation
o PIC Line check required when
o 6 MONTH
o What does this sign mean (picture of a runway distance remaining sign)
o What is needed to land on a visual approach
 They have you choose the two things
o Runway insight and preceding aircraft
o Range of a terminal VOR
o 25 NM 1000 AGL up to 12,000 AGL
o Range of a Low VOR
o 40 NM 1000 AGL TO 18,000 AGL
o Maximum allowable airspeed below 10,000.
o 250 KTS
o Distance between parallel runways
o 1500’ - 4300’ for PRM

Hey bsh932 are you interviewing this Tuesday? I was invited for this tuesday but I'm not sure if go or no. I've been hired by Pinnacle and I kind of like PSA.

what are your guys times?

I had an interview invite last month but they never got back to me.......

Yeah they send the invites out and the first 15 or so they take...I guess you have to be quick on the reply..I cant make it on Tuesday anyway!
