Job Knowledge Test Outline Endeavor Air（工作知识考试大纲努力）.pdf

Job Knowledge Test Outline The Job Knowledge test is administered as part of the pilot interview process and consists of questions in four major knowledge areas essential to piloting a commercial aircraft - aerodynamics, aircraft systems engineering, air navigation and meteorology. The questions test a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of principles and the application of these principles to commercial aircraft operation, with emphasis on application and problem solving. The following details the topics covered by the test, in relation to the four major areas. It is encouraged that you invest time studying, up to a level required for an ATP exam, in order to do well on the test. A list of sample reference sources for preparing for the test is also included below; comparable references may be substituted for those listed.
