ENDEAVOR AIR INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is your clearance limit when cleared for the approach and then you loose coms? ✅✅correct
answ-The published hold on the missed.
The maximum intensity and or development of a thunderstorm is during the Mature stage?
✅✅correct answ-When rain begins
When do you need an alternate airport? ✅✅correct answ-123 Rule one hour before, to one after
your ETA, 2000 feet agl, or, 1500 above the HAT, whichever is higher, and 3 miles visibility, or 2 miles
above the straight in minimums, whichever is greater.
What is the most dangerous type of precipitation? ✅✅correct answ-Supercooled Water Droplets
What is viscous hydroplaning? ✅✅correct answ-Hydroplaning that requires a very smooth surface
(ie new pavement, rubber coated pavement). Thin layer of water, low tire speed. Anything more
than gentle braking can cause tires to lock
What is maximum speed in class charlie airspace within 4 nm from an airport? ✅✅correct answ-
At or below 2,500 feet AGL within 4 NM of a primary airport of a Class C airspace area, maximum
indicated airspeed is 200 KIAS.
What is the cross in the circle symbol represent in the airport plan view? ✅✅correct answ-Airport
Reference Point ARP.
A crew-member must breathe oxygen above how many feet? ✅✅correct answ-Above 25k when
one pilot leaves his station, one at all times when operating above 41k
What is the airway width communication range guaranteed by MOCA? ✅✅correct answ-airway
width is 4 miles either side totaling 8 miles, navigation range is 22 miles. MOCA does not have any
guarantee on communication.
Define V1 ✅✅correct answ-The speed that splits emergency procedures into two parts: Before
V1- abort takeoff, After V1- continue takeoff
, What helps with Dutch roll? ✅✅correct answ-The Yaw damper if autopilot on and coordinated
opposite rudder if flying manual.
What is coffin corner? ✅✅correct answ-Altitude where Mcr (critical mach) and Vs (stall speed)
become equal. Aircraft very difficult to control.
Explain what critical Mach is. ✅✅correct answ-It is the aircrafts Mach speed at which airflow over
ANY surface of the aircraft first goes sonic. **Don't limit your answer to over the wing as some Tech
Interview books say** On the CRJ the airflow first goes sonic down in front of the wind screen
Runway edge lights are what color (end of runway)? ✅✅correct answ-Runway edge lights are
white, except on instrument runways where amber replaces white on the last 2000ft or half the
runway length, which-ever is less. The amber lights on the last 2000ft (or last half) on an instrument
runway is the caution zone
What does pressing the fire button do? ✅✅correct answ-Activates shutoff valves for fuel and
hydraulics, trips generator off via generator relay, arms fire bottles
What is the DH? ✅✅correct answ-Decision Height. The altitude AGL at which a decision must be
made to continue on an ILS or execute the missed approach.
What would you do if you hear a loud bang and lose power after V1 with over half an 11,000 ft
runway left? ✅✅correct answ-Continue takeoff and treat it as an in air emergency.
What would you do if the Captain continued below minimums? ✅✅correct answ-Call out "below
minimums" and ask him if he has the runway. He may have failed to communicate this, if he doesn't
then call the missed approach and go around
What is exemption 3585? ✅✅correct answ-Exemption 3585 allows operation when forecast's
conditional remarks (BECMG, PROBXX, TEMPO) are below dispatch minimums. The main body of the
forecast must be above dispatch minimums. Other requirements are a Second Alternate,
"Dispatched under Exemption 3583"on dispatch release and the dispatcher must keep crew advised
of weather changes.
