Part 1 was personality questions such as tell us about your flying experience.
Part 2 was more technical questions such as, What can you tell us about C208?
Part 3 was more IFR Scenario questions such as what is the difference between DA/MDA.

 

2 - Compass Test

Personality Test

It is almost impossible to prepare for personality test. Best way to answer these questions is to BE YOURSELF and BE HONEST!

Before you answer a personality questionnaire, find out about the organization and decide whether you like its culture and it’s the kind of place you will thrive in. If it is, then apply confident in that knowledge, take time over each question and answer it in a way that shows you as the ideal candidate for the role and company.

Few sample questions below for personality test
Which statements best describes you? (leader, selfish, friendly, etc, etc)
Would you rather (example: clean a room or work within a group)

 
Math Test

This basic test in applied mathematics screens your understanding of the basics: multiplication, division, subtraction as well as speed, distance and time calculations. By taking this test, you can assess your mathematical skills according to the very same standards used in the industry and be thoroughly prepared when applying for a job in aviation.

The math test features a practice section with over 100 questions, each with a detailed explanation of the answer. The test section itself consists of 24 random, time-limited questions with answers.

Short Term Memory

Both short-term memory and tolerance for stress will be assessed in this simulation. You will constantly be confronted with new information about altitude, heading, airspeed and radio frequencies and asked to memorize and reproduce this information.

Short Term Memory features 3 different levels (easy, medium and hard). Each level has time-limited rounds in which you have to memorize the information and answer each question correctly. At the end of the test, a score will be calculated.

 
Spatial Awareness

This is a test to assess your spatial awareness and ability to read instruments. In other words, you need to understand the aircraft's attitude and position in physical space. You will be asked to pick the correct aircraft on the basis of the readings on the cockpit instruments.

The Spatial Awareness test features a practice section with 20 questions, each with a detailed explanation of the answer. The test section features 3 different levels (easy, medium and hard). Each level will have a 10 random, time-limited questions and a exact score will be calculated afterwards.

 
Tracking Test

The purpose of this test is to measure your hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. The goal is to keep the airplane on track at all times. The track itself will constantly be changing direction, so you should always be anticipating the next turn.

Spatial Awareness features 3 different levels (easy, medium and hard). Each level has a time limit. At the end of the test, a score will be provided based on your accuracy in the airplane on track.

 
Flight Control

This is a test that measures your hand-eye-foot coordination. During this test you will need to keep the vertical speed indicator needle (VSI) at zero at all times. At the same time, you must keep the white ball centered inside the two white lines.

The Flight Control has a 5 minute time limit. A score, based on your accuracy in keeping the needle at zero and the ball in the center, will be given in percentages. For optimum results, we recommend the use of a joystick and rudder pedals for this test.

 
Multitasking

This test measures your multitasking skills. You will constantly be receiving information (digits) and you will be asked to enter them in the primary flight display by using the arrows and numbers on your keyboard. At the same time, alert signs will be displayed that need to be eliminated.

The Multitasking test features 3 different levels (easy, medium and hard). Each level is time limited. At the end of the test, a score will be calculated based on how accurately you entered the numbers in the primary flight display and eliminated the alert signs.

3 - Technical Questions with written answers
(THE FIRST WRITTEN TEST)

Technical Questions

Describe Lift?
Answer: Lift is the phenomenon generated by an aerofoil due to pressure differences above and below the aerofoil. An aerofoil is cambered on its topside and flat on its bottom side. Therefore, the airflow over the top of the aerofoil has to travel farther and thus faster than the airflow below the aerofoil. This causes the pressure blow the aerofoil to be greater than above, creating a pressure difference, which results in an upward lift force.

How many Nav lights does a C208 Have?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3 correct answer

The GCU controls the starter-Generator and serves what functions?
A. overspeed protection
B. speed sensor
C. starter cut out
D. Voltage regulation and protection from high voltage + reverse current
E. all of the above correct answer

 
 

Written Exam 2 (Multiply choice answers)

Written Exam 2

Frost covering the upper surface of an airplane wing usually will cause
A. the airplane to stall at an angle of attack that is lower than normal. A is the correct answer
B. the airplane to stall at an angle of attack that is higher than normal.
C. drag factors so large that sufficient speed cannot be obtained for takeoff.

On a wing, the force of lift acts perpendicular to, and the force of drag acts parallel to the
A. flightpath. A is the correct Answer
B. longitudinal axis.
C. chord line.

What will occur if no leaning is made with the mixture control as the flight altitude increases?
A. The density of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel increases.
B. The density of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel remains constant. B is the correct answer
C. The volume of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel decreases.
