I guess it depends on the aircraft. I had to know a lot more for the 727 because of the nature of the systems and the nature of the job of a flight engineer. We pretty much had to 'build the plane' during the oral, but orals that I had for the 737 and MD-88/90 weren't as intense as the 727 FE oral.

But nothing was as wicked as my Beech 1900 FO oral -- a lot of UND grads, at that time, were in the training department so lots of questions about p2.5 valves, speeder springs in the FCU how many rows of axial flow compressors versus centrifugal compressors in the PT-6.

And the fetzer valve... and the flux capacitor!

Isn't there just the one centrifugal compressor rotor in the PT-6? Just joshin ya! Bah, I think I'm thinking of the allison helicopter engine anyway.
