Endeavor Air Interview UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
What is viscous hydroplaning? - CORRECT ANSWER 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
ANSWER 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
ANSWER Airport Reference Point ARP.
A crew-member must breathe oxygen above how many feet? - CORRECT ANSWER Above
25k when one pilot leaves his station, one at all times when operating above 41k
) What is your clearance limit when cleared for the approach and then you loose coms? -
CORRECT ANSWER The published hold on the missed.
The maximum intensity and or development of a thunderstorm is during the Mature stage? -
CORRECT ANSWER When rain begins
When do you need an alternate airport? - CORRECT ANSWER 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 ANSWER Supercooled Water
Droplets
, What is the airway width communication range guaranteed by MOCA? - CORRECT
ANSWER 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 ANSWER The speed that splits emergency procedures into two parts:
Before V1- abort takeoff, After V1- continue takeoff
What helps with Dutch roll? - CORRECT ANSWER The Yaw damper if autopilot on and
coordinated opposite rudder if flying manual.
What is coffin corner? - CORRECT ANSWER Altitude where Mcr (critical mach) and Vs
(stall speed) become equal. Aircraft very difficult to control.
Explain what critical Mach is. - CORRECT ANSWER 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 ANSWER 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 ANSWER Activates shutoff valves for
fuel and hydraulics, trips generator off via generator relay, arms fire bottles
What is the DH? - CORRECT ANSWER 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 ANSWER Continue takeoff and treat it as an in air emergency.
