I'm curious. Have you ever flown a Navejo?

So, as a follow up question:
Why would you study about an airplane you have never flown for an interview instead of studying the Aztec, showing that you know the aircraft you have flown?
That would be like an MEI who has only instructed in a Seminole study about the ERJ in preparation for their Regional interview. In that interview, do you think HR is going to ask that MEI about the Seminole or the ERJ?
It's all well and good to show that you have ambition and excitement for that next step, but you can do that by knowing your most applicable aircraft like the back of your hand. It will show that you will put effort into knowing the aircraft you are going to be hired to fly. IMHO time spent studying Navejo checklists is misdirected energy for your interview.
All that said, it's an easy aircraft to learn. Don't sweat it.

It's a good idea to study for the job you want, not the one you have.
A 121 carrier probably won't be too impressed with my extensive (*snickers*) 135 knowledge.

When I applied for a Cessna Caravan Job, I was given study material on it to prepare for the interview and told to read the famous ASA book, my experience at that point was pretty much just flight instructing on PA28s. Many airlines give you study material on your future airplane too.
It`s also good to know everything on airplanes you have logged time on it. Just in case the person interviewing starts asking questions.
I have a lot of Navajo stuff also PM your e-mail and I will sent you my library on the PA31.

I've never had an interviewer expect me to know all that much about an airplane I've never flown. If they fly a pa31, all you should need to know about it in the interview is it's made by Piper and has 2 TIO-540s. Beyond that... well that's what ground school is for. I have been asked a LOT of questions about airplanes I've flown, especially the one I flew that week. But an interview is not a checkride oral.

Makes sense, but a lot of companies give you material to study on the aircraft you are applying on (flown it or not), I had to do it myself for a Caravan job, I believe Ameriflight gives you a small technical preparation guide on the PA31 to assist you for the interview. I have seen that also with one of the PC12 operators...maybe this is not the case of the OP, but there is nothing wrong with trying to stay ahead of them game...

They do not. They were very much more interested in the 172 which I had just flown that day. Could give a crap less on my systems knowledge of an airplane I've never flown and they're going to spend 4 weeks teaching me anyways.
