Pilot Interview

I have gone for the Singapore Airline Pilot Interview recently, so I would like to share the questions I have been asked, for others as reference. Overall, it can be like an interrogation and the questions just keep coming to test whether you are able to think on your feet. (Being a teaceher for four years, thinking on our feet is what we do everyday. Because some pupils will ask some queer questions out of the blue. hahaha)

Before the interview, it is highly recommended to doing your homework, meaning go read up about the company (SIA) and the fleet (boeing & airbus) that they have and try to rememeber DETAILS about those planes. I had some help from a friend who send me this website to read abit before the interview. It also has records of other interviewees experience, so it should help you being aware of the process and the situation.

Below is the list of questions that I have been asked, be aware that questions may change according to the interviewers

1. Why are you interested in being a pilot?
2. Is that why you did not apply to be a airforce pilot?
3. What is your favourite fighter jet?
4. What are the characteristic of the fighter jet? Which company made it?
5. What is the thrust of the jet engine? What kind of combat is the plane used for?
6.From Singapore to United States, which ocean is crossed?
7. What is the capital of Australia?
8. What are the SIA planes?
9. Why do you think that SIA only have 5 airbus 340?
10. What is the difference between 747 and 777? 4 engines or 2 engines?
11. What is the engine thrust of the 777?
12. What is the company that made the engines?
13. What is PW (engine of 747)?
14. Where is boeing made?
15. Where is airbus made?


At the end of the day, it is wise to be prepared. Hope to get thru to second round then finally get to be pilot. Hahaha To GOD be the glory.
