Group exercise

Panel interview

- Have you watched the film Sully?

- Daha önceki diğer firmalarda kurul mülakatı soruları derlemesi yaptığımız gibi... başlıklar: İK soruları / Psikolog soruları / Kaptan Pilot soruları / Teknik ve Matematik sorular / Durumsal farkındalık soruları / Kişisel ve motivasyonel sorular / Matematik ve Coğrafya sorular / CRM bazlı sorular / Film soruları — the forum's compiled board-question set is indexed by exactly these nine question families (HR, psychologist, captain-pilot, technical and maths, situational awareness, personal/motivational, maths and geography, CRM-based, film). NOTE: the actual compiled question text sits behind a forum login and could not be read, so only the question-family headings are verifiable here.

Simulator assessment
- Where exactly do you start a missed approach?
- Engine failure in the A320 sim — a 2024 candidate report describes the 2-hour assessment as PF and PM across normal and emergency procedures, looking at "solid A320 handling, good SOPs, and CRM — how you communicate, how you manage workload, how you handle an engine failure. Be current on the type. This is not a raw-data test — they expect Airbus procedures."
- Uçak temizliği sonrası durum — sim tipi: "after cleaning aircraft stay at green dot or you will not match the MCA" (in-sim expectation to leave the aircraft serviceable, otherwise the candidate does not meet company MCA standards)
- Sim exercise: visual traffic pattern, 60-degree step turns and a visual landing, with the instructor helping throughout (older type-rating screening format)
- Sim exercise: 30-minute take-off, one visual circuit, one engine-out, vectored ILS plus go-around, then a new take-off and a visual pattern (older direct-entry screening format)
- What is the let-down procedure? (asked in the sim)
