Ace The Technical Pilot Interview 2/E 2nd Edition

Great for prepping for airline interviews, creating questions for CFI ground lessons, or just wanting to brush up on aviation knowledge. This book gives surface level answers for most questions.

Great info! Hghly recommend in addition to any other test preparation you may be using already. Remember, you only get one shot at the job of your dreams in the airline industry. Do what it takes to get the competitive edge!

This edition has improved over the last edition. Some answers have been corrected. However, there are still some answers that are clearly wrong and this reflect fundamental misconception of the author. For example, the notorious "dutch roll" explanation in the first edition has been re-written, the initial part is mostly correct until the author wrote "a marked bank occurs to the point where the outer,upward wing exceeds its critical angle of attack, stalls and lose all lift". Firstly, in Dutch roll the airplane roll back to level position not because the upward wing is stalled, it's because the plane has lateral stability that is TOO GOOD. Secondly, an up-going wing actually will have a SMALLER angle of attack as the relative airflow to the up-going wing has a downward component in it. This example shows the author lack of understanding in this particular area.Still, I must give the author a fairer comment as this book has covered a lot of different aspects in great details despite some consistent annoying typos (e.g. camber => chamber throughout) and occasional overly complicated explanation. I would recommend you to buy this book but do your own research when you are doubtful about the answers and be careful when you quote it. In short, this is definitely a great preparatory book for any technical interview. But for a second edition, i would expect more, at least better proof-reading.

Question and answer divided by chapter and with reference in case the answer will be describe completely in other chapter. Complete general knowledge from basic to advance.

Especial para preparar entrevistas a compañías aéreas.

Good book although downloading it is confusing and not intuitive. Never figured it out so I am reading it on the cloud.

Maybe useful for someone without any jet experience, as a point of start.Much of the information is quite old and has changed. Use with caution.

Good book as a refresher dealing with ATPL questions for an airline interview. It is quite comprehensive and treats various subjects. Nice to have in your presonal library.
