They asked a few questions about FOI subjects - laws of learning, levels or learning etc. They allowed us to bring in all of our materials and use them during the interview.

Next there was a written test covering a wide variety of areas - required equipment, light gun signals, draw a precision instrument runway, ADM, VOR service volumes etc.

After that there was a 1 on 1 interview with the flight school manager. This was all HR type questions.

Finally there was a sim check ride in their Frasca 142 simulator. It was setup with a Seminole profile, and they had me fly an IFR departure, perform some steep turns on instruments, and then fly an ILS. Nothing tricky - I think it was mostly just to observe our procedures - things like checklists and altitude call outs.

HAI needs to get over themselves.
