mins if you are going to your alternate and the airport doesn’t have an
instrument approach
- Simulator evaluation

- They provide you with
three approaches. You will only shoot two of them – one non-precision and
one precision
- Review all approaches
for Newark-Heath, OH; Columbus, OH; & Columbus – Ohio State University
before coming to interview
- They provide the approach plates and
checklist in the sim: VOR-A into Newark-heat, ILS 28L Port Columbus.
- Depart 28L from CMH,
engine fails on runway. Call tower, they will reset the sim.
- Then depart and climb
to 3000 ft. and receive vectors
- Steep turn right or
left
- Slow flight
- Power off stall
- Hold west of the IAF (PIRIC
Int) for the LOC Approach at Newark
- While giving the
instructions the attitude indicator failed

- Go missed, on climb
out engine fails.
- Then get vectors for
the ILS CMH 28L
- Shoot the approach
single engine, land and you're done
- Make sure to use the
checklists they provide
- Fly the ILS needles to the DA, then check
for visuals, decide what to do after reaching DA. Fly the needles to the
asphalt - don't attempt a single engine go-around on the ILS. Be a captain
of the sim.
- Get sim prep the day before with a recruiter. It will
teach you every clue they are looking for, and the instructors are the best.
Focus on basic instrument scan, fly the plane first when the engine quits.

Comments
Post your comments on the interview process, the company, or
any other pertinent information
- I interviewed mid February '08, and everything was
*exactly* as described in this gouge - to the letter. I'm invited to class
even though a lot of the interview and sim ride was far from perfect. Thanks!
(2/28/08)
- During the written test, or about 11:30-12:00, they serve lunch. They like
subway, know a menu item you want. Be prepared to talk during lunch, informal
stuff. Know stuff about the Learjet, show a desire to upgrade into it.
They want people who see the benefit of their "five year progression".
They pay for transportation to the interview: bring airline receipt. (2/28/08)
