Endeavor Air Interview Questions And Answers Rated
A+
What is viscous hydroplaning? ANS 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? ANS 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? ANS Airport Reference Point ARP.
A crew-member must breathe oxygen above how many feet? ANS 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? ANS The published hold
on the missed.
The maximum intensity and or development of a thunderstorm is during the Mature stage? ANS When rain
begins
When do you need an alternate airport? ANS 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? ANS Supercooled Water Droplets
What is the airway width communication range guaranteed by MOCA? ANS 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 ANS The speed that splits emergency procedures into two parts: Before V1- abort takeoff, After V1-
continue takeoff
What helps with Dutch roll? ANS The Yaw damper if autopilot on and coordinated opposite rudder if flying
manual.
, What is coffin corner? ANS Altitude where Mcr (critical mach) and Vs (stall speed) become equal. Aircraft very
difficult to control.
Explain what critical Mach is. ANS 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)? ANS 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? ANS Activates shutoff valves for fuel and hydraulics, trips generator off
via generator relay, arms fire bottles
What is the DH? ANS 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? ANS
Continue takeoff and treat it as an in air emergency.
What would you do if the Captain continued below minimums? ANS 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? ANS 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.
Centerline lights are what colors? ANS white with the last 3,000 feet alternating red and white and the last 1,000
feet red
How do you counteract dutch roll? ANS coordinated opposite rudder in the direction of the roll
What type aircraft is susceptible to dutch roll? ANS Swept Wing
