What's inside

1. Learning your systems: a method for technical interviews and authority oral exams. Draw it, go button by button, ask what you lose. Method only, no exam content.

2. Answers from real events: worked decision and leadership examples, plus a story bank that turns your own experience into clear, honest answers.

3. The direct-entry captain interview: leading newer pilots, flying demanding approaches and your start date.

4. Wait or move?: a decision worksheet for weighing an upgrade queue against a new airline.

5. Before you apply: published minimums, logbook, licence conversion, medical, notice period and training bonds.

6. Your study plan: short sessions for duty days, longer ones for days off.

What it isn't

- No airline's interview questions, manuals, SOPs or training material

- No authority exam content

- No claims about what assessors look for. I've never sat on an interview panel.

- Not a substitute for your own airline's approved documents

- Not designed for cadet or ab-initio selection
