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.
All the folks there are very nice (I did my training here so I knew most of the people involved which was nice). Anyway, they called me back and offered me the position today.  |
I know it's kinda off the subject but how's the training in Hillsboro Aviation? I've searched about it but I didn't get much info that I needed.
I'm thinking of getting a PPL, IFR and CPL training at HAI but I don't know if I can finish the training courses on time, on budget. I know some of the schools try to rip you off or have poor aircraft maintanence so that postpones the training. What about HAI?
