You will find tons of physical and aeronautical information including must-know technical terms

This is a very useful book if you have served in the military as a pilot seeking a new life in a civilian airline company, or at least finished your studies in the aviation school with the flight license in your hands, because in the interview they will ask you all the technical questions you can find in this book.

If you are a newbie in the aviation field, however, beseeching an opportunity to get in a civilian airline that provides aviation school education and training programs, you will hardly find any useful interview question examples in this book for you. In that case, you rather wanna prepare to answer why you choose that specific airline among many different companies and how long you are meaning to commit yourself for the company once they spend resources to educate and train you. And if you get accepted, so your company sends you to the aviation school after all, then you could use this book as a reference book for your studies in the school.

All in all the book is intriguing for anyone interested in aviation. In this book you will find a lot of technical terms along with all the important physical and aeronautical information you need to know if you ever wanna fly your plane.

Includes lots of information however sometimes it can be suffocating because too much details has been given for some questions. But It worked for me at Turkish Airlines interview. nice :)

The book is very helpful for everyone wants to attend an assessment, especially years after the ATPL, when informations stored in our brain is very very rusty

I picked up the 2002 edition, got as far as four pages, found an erroneous lift formula (1/2R + V*2 + S + CL), closed the book, and told the librarian, "please don't shelve it, shred it."

Very helpful and sums up more or less all essential topics of ATPL preparation texts.
Read before interview.

Here's a decent compilation of technical questions and has corrected most mistakes found in the previous (2002) edition.
