Technical Test Questions Tech Skills Assessment- If you’re unfamiliar with Jepp plates, look online for some familiarization especially with SIDs/STARs. Know the basic rules of climb/descend via. Top altitude of a SID/bottom altitude of a STAR, speed/alt restrictions. Otherwise they choose a profile for you to fly from airport A to airport B. They’ll show you the iPad and help with operating it but otherwise they will let you run the show. You start at the gate and they want a brief- revert to your current job for that (Weather, notams, flight plan, taxi plan, abort/eng fail, SID, clearance etc). Use whatever briefing acronym you are using now. Then you’re at the end of the runway and you pick up with the callouts- know these callouts cold. Enroute there will be a caution message which has you go into their QRH. Mine was a benign issue that when reset, it went away. Then you get assigned the arrival, same as pre-departure- brief everything the way you would in your current airframe. Then you will do the approach callouts and will be sent around prompting missed approach callouts. The airfield will be closed so utilize resources (ATC, dispatch) to find a few divert options and choose the best one based on fuel state/weather. Once you choose which divert option you will use the exercise pretty much stops and you move on to CRM.
CRM is a video where you watch a crew in a certain phase of flight (they have a few they use). Mine was pretty obvious- they are looking for you to come up with what you saw both bad and even good if applicable. It was a very casual discussion and less of a quizzing situation. Overall the technical part is relaxed if you know the callouts and you are comfortable with briefing- just brief the way you do it now and you will be good.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? N/A

Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? ECIC- It helps form your stories and tell them in a non-rambling way. When it won’t help you, is if you do not even have stories. Definitely think back through your entire career and think of 8-10. If you have the stories, ECIC helps you tell them.
