that the aircraft was refueled with reserves prior to your departure.
In this situation, what would you do? Now, think about your answer. (30’)
8
There is no law banning the operation of very old passenger aircraft. Regulators
believe that even the oldest aircraft is safe as long as it is operated within its
limitations and maintained according to the manual. As a pilot, do you really believe
that a 30-year old passenger jet is as safe as a brand new passenger jet? Why or why
not?
9
Many young aspiring pilots seek advice from professional pilots. Most want to know
which aviation school would best prepare them to become successful airline pilots.
Aviation schools are regulated and employ licensed instructors. Are there any
differences among aviation schools in terms of quality of instruction?

Interviewer: What would you do if you find out midway through a flight that the
navigational charts available in the cockpit are outdated and no longer
applicable?
Interviewer: The airplane has evolved into a comfortable, reliable and dependable
means of travel. Some people, however, are still uncomfortable about
riding in it and try to avoid doing so. Do you think their fear is
unreasonable? Why?

You are on final for landing and you have advised your passengers through the
passenger announce system that you will be touching down very soon. As you initiate
the landing procedures, you hear several loud explosions over the radiotelephone.
Looking out of the window, you see that several airport buildings are on fire. You
contact the Air Traffic Controller to get information but the Control Tower seems to
be one of the affected facilities since you are getting no response.

Immediately after takeoff, the number four engine of your passenger jet suffered an
engine surge. You and your cockpit crews successfully carried out the shutdown
procedure. You made a radio call to base engineers, who advised that continuing the
flight to your destination is an option, but that the final decision lies with you.
As the pilot in command, would you decide to return to the point of origin or continue
with the eight-hour flight to your destination? Now, think about your answer. (30’)

Directions: Listen to the following question. You will have 30 seconds to think about
your answer and 1 minutes to make your response. Now listen to the question.
Some popular television stations are airing documentaries about the deadliest
plane crashes. These documentaries make rich use of re-enactments, plus
memories of survivors. Do you think such TV programs will put a bad image in
commercial aviation? Why or why not?
9
Modern aircraft do not need the services of flight engineers to operate. Two pilots
can perform all the necessary tasks to fly these airplanes safely. Some people still
believe, however, that transport aircraft would be safer if the two pilots are assisted
by a flight engineer. As a pilot, do you think that the services of a flight engineer are
no longer necessary?

PART 2. INTERVIEW

Task 2. Giving Information about Day-to-Day Activities
Interviewer: What airport is your favorite destination? Why?
Interviewer: Tell me what enables you to successfully land your aircraft at night or
when visibility is almost zero?
Interviewer: What would you do if, after takeoff, the landing gears fail to retract
from their deployed position?
Interviewer: Some states and airlines are strictly enforcing the “closed cockpit
door” policy to counter unlawful interference. This means that
whatever happens in the passenger cabin the flight crew should never
open the cockpit door. Do you think this is an effective control
suppression to hijacking? Why?

You are a passenger on a long, international flight. Midway through the flight, you
are awakened by several loud sounds and notice that the airplane is experiencing
moderate vibrations. There is no announcement from the captain but judging from
your observations, the aircraft is experiencing loss of control. You have experienced
this situation as a pilot before and were able to handle it successfully. Now, you
sense that the situation is becoming worse.
1. Will you offer your help to the flight crew or just let them handle the problem? Why
or why not? Now, think about your answer. (15’)

You are the captain of a passenger jet which is now cruising at 39,000 feet. At your
present speed, you still have 6 hours before your next stop. Moments later, an
attendant calls you over the intercom, informing you that the passengers are feeling
very uncomfortable because of the freezing temperature in the cabin. Checking the
instruments, you find that the air conditioning system is not functioning. All other
systems are normal however, including the pressurization system. You tried to reset
and adjust the temperature control but the problem still continue.
If you were in this situation, would you proceed to your destination or do something else?

Aviation authorities approved airline safety programs by including Crew Resource

Management (CRM) as one of the requirements for pilots to renew their licenses. At
present, some airlines require their pilots to take CRM once every two years while
other airlines give the training annually. Do you think CRM has improved airline
safety?

Airlines are badly affected by the ever-increasing cost of fuel so, many of them are
resorting to different measures to save on fuel. Some airlines are now using
turboprop airplanes on routes that used to be served by turbofan airplanes. Do you

Experts have proven, in many crash tests, that the survivability of passengers is

In some countries, it is required for airline pilots to retire at age 55 while in some
other countries, pilots can fly until their 60th birthday. Countries imposing the 55

Imagine that you are the pilot of Cityliner 228. As you taxi to the active runway,
your aircraft’s FMS (Flight Management Computer System) display went blank but
came back after a few seconds. Because of this, you decided to go back to the ramp
for a maintenance check. Then, the tower controller calls you on the radio:

You are the pilot of Dynasty 538. As you climb to cruise altitude after takeoff, you
hear a loud bang from one of your aircraft’s engines and then the aircraft started to
turn sharply to the right in a nose dive attitude. As this is happening, you can hear the
passengers screaming.

While flying at cruise altitude, you briefed your passengers about the weather forecast,
estimated time of arrival at the destination airport, and other pertinent data about the
flight. Moments later, you learn from a flight attendant that they did not hear any
cabin announcement from the flight deck. After some checking and testing, you find
out that the passenger announce system is inoperative.
What would you do now to relay your message to the passengers? Now, think about your
answer. (30’)

The first scenario occurs on a clear weather day in which a problem is caused by a
demand/capacity imbalance at an airport. The second scenario is how severe weather
disrupts a major traffic flow. The third scenario is how severe weather conditions at a
specific airport can have a system-wide effect. Therefore, lost business opportunities
and missed appointments are just some of the ill effects suffered by passengers because
of flight delays. Some consumer welfare groups are demanding compensation from
airlines for flight delays. However, according to the ICAO (International Civil
Aviation Organization) Warsaw Convention, airlines do not have a responsibility to
compensate passengers for flight delays. Do you think this ICAO ruling is unfair?
9
In one aircraft accident, investigators concluded that one of the reasons for the crash
was that both the pilot and co-pilot were not very familiar with the newly-acquired
aircraft. Do you think it would be safer if an airline flew a fleet of only one type of
aircraft rather than a mixture of different aircraft? Why or why not?

stop your aircraft, but the other airplane continues to move in your direction. At the
current rate of approach, you estimate that the other aircraft will impact your airplane
in around 30 seconds. To complicate matters, the taxiway is too narrow to fit both
your aircraft and the other airplane.

The number of low-cost airlines is growing. Because of the lower fares, more and
more passengers are starting to use them. Some people, however, think that these
airlines bring down fares by cutting down on maintenance costs, making them unsafe.
Do you think low-cost airlines are safe?

Imagine that you are the pilot of Orientstar 654, a passenger jet. You are now lined up on the
runway waiting for takeoff clearance. A warning light illuminates, indicating low engine oil
pressure. Because of this, you decide to return to the ramp for a mandatory inspection of the
aircraft. Then the tower calls you on the radio:

You are the pilot of Seastar 440, a passenger jet airliner. While on cruise at flight level 390
over the Indian Ocean, you hear a loud bang and screams coming from the passenger cabin.
Soon after, a flight attendant reports that a large portion of the airplane’s skin has separated,
creating a large opening above the passenger cabin.
2. Now, provide a sample of your radio message to Colombo Control. (60”)
9
listen.
You are the pilot in command of a big passenger jet. Prior to takeoff, you note abnormalities
with the airplane clocks. You are able to correct them, so you proceed with the flight. While
en route, the airplane experiences numerous electrical abnormalities where various warning
lights would illuminate, and then extinguish.

Due to strict security measures being implemented by many airports, passengers are taking
longer to board an airplane. Some say the delay will eventually discourage passengers from
traveling by air, possibly causing them to look for other transport options. Do you think this
will happen? Why or why not?
Now, explain your opinion with as much detail as possible. (90”)

(Audio Only)
Some pilots confess that simulator training is only good for training purposes. According to
them, when an abnormal situation occurs, it happens very quickly. Thus, in situations where
an aircraft is out of control, the pilot will most likely react based on instinct, rather than on
procedures learned from training. Do you agree with this opinion? Why or why not?

PART 2. INTERVIEW

Interviewer: How does it feel to be responsible for the lives of hundreds of passengers
aboard a million dollar airplane?
Interviewer: Prior to takeoff, pilots normally brief passengers about flight details such
as expected weather conditions along the way and estimated arrival time.
Why is this briefing important?
Interviewer: What would you do if you see one of your engines ingest a large bird?
Interviewer: Airline passengers are always asking whether a particular airline is safe or

You are the pilot of PKT 167 and you receive no warning about the weather along your route.
As you descend to your destination, there are green and yellow returns on your weather radar,
left and right of the intended path. You decide to penetrate the clouds. Moments later, heavy
rain and hail are encountered. At FL 180, both engines flame out followed by electrical
power loss. Passengers are screaming in the dark cabin while the airplane is being shaken by
strong turbulence.

You are flying a four-engine passenger airplane. As you descend for a landing, the left
outboard engine goes out of control and over speeds, producing maximum thrust. Because
the other engines are set to lower settings, there is unequal thrust between the left and right
sides of the airplane, resulting in a right yaw movement. You are supposed to intercept the
ILS signal for a landing now.

abnormally long. According to the controller, another pilot from the ground had seen a part of
your aircraft’s rudder separate during the climb. Landing for the second time will surely make
it harder for your airplane in stormy weather like this.

One evening, due to unfavorable weather conditions at your destination airport, you are
diverted to another airport which is unfamiliar to you. You estimate that you have just
enough fuel remaining to reach the alternate airport. 40 miles from the airport, you try to
contact the Approach Control repeatedly but you receive no response. To make things worse,
your navigation receivers are not picking up any signal from the VOR and NDB stations
which are supposed to guide you to the alternate airport.

Many airlines are planning to allow pilots to fly until they reach the age of 60. Some airlines
are even considering letting pilots fly past the age of 60. Is safety really compromised if an
aircraft is flown by a 60 year old pilot?

Due to the rising cost of fuel, airlines are considering several ways to reduce fuel expenses.
One airline is stripping the paint off its entire fleet of aircraft, leaving only the logo of the
company. Do you think this is an effective option?

PART 2. INTERVIEW

Interviewer: What does the first officer usually do?
Interviewer: I know for sure that airplanes don’t fly backward; so what is the thrust
reverser for?
Interviewer: Would you still proceed to your destination if the landing gear in the nose
fails to retract after takeoff?
Interviewer: Do you think it would be better for the passengers aboard an airplane if
flight attendants possessed medical or nursing degrees? Why or why not?

Imagine that you are the pilot of CT 246 and are now en route to your destination. Due to a
sick passenger, you declare an emergency and the ATC of a nearby airport clears you for an
immediate landing. Fortunately, the sick passenger is revived and is now in good condition.
You decide to cancel your emergency call and continue to your destination. The ATC calls
you on the radio:

You are the pilot of Pan Pacific 802. Due to heavy traffic at the destination airport, you are
instructed to hold over a certain fix. After holding for some time, you notice that you are now
low on fuel and cannot hold any longer. You inform the Approach Control about your
situation but he just instructs you to maintain present altitude and to standby. You are afraid
the engines might quit anytime.

listen.
You are the captain of an aircraft. During take off, the landing gears fail to retract and they
stay in their deployed position. You continue to climb however, since the flight will only take
an hour and you are confident that the problem will be corrected before landing. Doing this
will enable you to reach your destination on time. Your first officer, however, thinks
otherwise. According to him, the problem might be more complicated and recommends that
you go back and land at the origin as soon as possible before the situation gets worse.
10
Many people think that cabin crew play a critical role in ensuring the safety of a flight and
they should be required to hold licenses. In your opinion as a pilot, is it necessary for cabin
crew to be licensed and regulated, to improve air safety?

Recently, a passenger aircraft descended below the minimum limit while on approach for a
landing. The pilot in command explained later that the maneuver was intended to emphasize a
lesson to the first officer who was on training. Do you think it is safe for an un-qualified pilot
to fly as first officer during a scheduled flight?

PART 2. INTERVIEW

Interviewer: What steps do you take to follow the noise abatement regulation during
takeoff?
Interviewer: What are the duties and responsibilities of a First Officer?
Interviewer: What would you do if you are about to land and you suddenly see a flock of
birds along your flight path?
Interviewer: Experts say that old airplanes are as safe as new ones. If this is the case,
why do you think airline companies like to replace old airplanes with new
models?

You are the pilot of UMD 273 and are now turning to base for a landing. As you descend,
you receive traffic information from the controller, indicating that a light airplane is
approaching at your 1 o’clock position. You scan the horizon for a while when you suddenly
see the airplane appear out of some clouds to your left. It’s about a mile away and is flying
straight towards you very quickly. It doesn’t seem to have noticed you yet.

You are the pilot of an aircraft that is cruising at FL 370 with autopilot engaged. Suddenly, a
flight attendant reports that the passengers are complaining about a strange odor. You check
the cabin and there is indeed a very strange odor. The instruments are all reading normal
however. You discuss this with your captain.. Your captain suggests that you continue the
flight since there is no indication of any malfunction and there is nothing in the quick
reference manual (QRM) that suggests that the flight should be canceled.

Interviewer: Some delays are avoidable. What do you usually do to avoid flight delays?
Interviewer: Can the autopilot do everything that the pilot does during a flight?
Interviewer: What would you do if an air traffic controller instructs you to execute a
maneuver that is beyond the capability of your aircraft?
Interviewer: Regulations and company policy require pilots to make a 360 degree
inspection around the aircraft. Do you think it would be better if
mechanics make this walk-around inspection?
