Technical Test Questions I don’t remember the specific questions, but most of them were aerodynamic or engine related. I had a few weather questions, a few rate of descent calculations, a holding question, and a few airport signage questions. The RST 15 day checklist prepared me to answer most of the questions. Some of the answers are very similar. Remember to choose the “best and most complete” answer.

Cog Test As advertised on RST.

Any additional information you would like to add. Remember to keep a positive attitude and try to stay relaxed throughout the interview process. I believe they are evaluating your personality and social skills just as much as they are gauging your knowledge.
Is their anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? Start preparing as early as you can!
