Just had the interview today... Not an orthodox interview from my experience, but I know everyone has a way of doing things. Got there at 9:00AM and flew first thing. Went out and did a power-on and a power-off stall then to a local airport for some touch-n-go's and a simulated engine-out in the pattern. Pretty standard I guess. Hold over the OMN VOR (which came up quick, even for a 172 because of it's short distance from the airport we departed...) then shot an approach in. Taxied back and shut down, then back to the offices to take the test. 170 question test with a 1 hour time limit but most of it was pretty basic and it was a mix of everything. Wx, IFR, Commercial, Wx Services, Procedures, etc... Nothing you shouldn't already know but there are some tricky ones on there so be sure to read it carefully. Then the rest of the interview was just a review of the test and the questions you missed and some cross-country flight planning questions over mountainous terrain. I was surprised that there wasn't really any sit down "face-to-face" interviewing with questions about resume and experience. So I don't know if that means that they weren't happy about something previously in the flight and were just going through the motions to get me out the door or if they never planned on that from the get-go but that was the only thing I found strange. Other than that it was all pretty standard and I think most everyone will do fine. Good luck!
