I have a question regarding the Delta job knowledge test. Sheppard Air provides a gouge on their web site that give some sample question from the Delta knowledge test used by DCI carriers in the interview process. One of the questions is this:
"You are on the XYZ VOR 090° radial at 20 DME. You are instructed to proceed direct to the XYZ VOR 180° radial at 70 DME. The direct, no wind heading is" How is this supposed to be calculated? |

I took that test and I remember that question. I can't remember the answers or the one I chose. Seems pretty stupid or maybe it's a trick. I've been flying for 35 years and I've never heard on SBEJWJDLMNOPQ either. Maybe I need Flight Sim 2015 or something.

It has nothing to do with flying. Just 8th grade math. Answer is heading 196.

When I recently took the knowledge exam, I felt any math problems I encountered were fair questions and none required the use of a calculator. Then again I also was not allowed to use a calculator to begin with. Climb and decent formulas are really the only math I felt was essential for the test. But then again the tests all have different selections of questions pulled from the bank so maybe I got lucky.
