Procedures
Flying to Mumbai in monsoon, arrive for preflight and weather is vis 500m, can
you dispatch?
What are the company procedures/requirements for operation on a
contaminated runway?
Performance
What is Vmcg?
What is its relationship to V1? i.e. equal to less than or both??
What is TODA, TORA, ASDA
What is the requirement for obstacles in the clearway? (the Airbus
training tool on Skybook has 26’, he said I was wrong and I showed him the
document, we discussed the symbol for feet vs inches “ or ’ I just stated I can
only go by what is in the company documents but agreed it was a typo as
threshold lights standing at 26’ were a little too obtrusive.
Why isn’t the stopway part of the runway? What requirements must
it meet to be a stopway?
I just stated it must be a hard surface equal width to runway
designated by airport authorities as capable of handling the weight of an
aircraft, I then talked about displaced thresholds/stopways being unusable as
runways due to the requirement for obstacle clearance in approaches
requiring a set angle such as 3 deg glide path thus resulting in a loss of a
portion of the runway, but being available for takeoff or stopping.
General
What happens when the Pitot tube becomes blocked at high altitude and you
descend, what will it indicate?

the other, which one will fly further and why?
What is green dot speed?

Define SA?
I believe they were going to ask What is PCP? So I gave the answer in
my definition of SA
What are the 4 markers for the NOTECH of Leadership and Management?
Limitations
What are the memory Items?
What is the memory item for GPWS?
Final Question was on MEL (not sure what topic it was but I cant seem to
recognize the second technical question)
Can we extend an MEL item after the expiry date?
All up the first three questions will be marked poorly regardless of being right
or not due to the wasted time finding answers I already knew, as for the
Emerg Gen, I will get smashed for that, should have been a 5 but I am sure I
will be lucky to get a 2.
Memory items no worries just didn’t state the ‘Pull up TOGA’ at the start, and I
had to write the 10 memory items on the board as I couldn’t spit out the last
one, then laughed as it was the most obvious TCAS that I missed, after that I
settled into it and it flowed very quickly.
I recited most answers such as SA definition and three of the markers for
Leadership, it took me a few seconds to remember the last one, they did drop
a little hint but I didn’t look it up, there is no doubt they were encouraging me
to not to look it up so they could give a 4 or 5, they are happy for you to look it
up as well.
