Stage 1A: Technical Questionnaire

The intent of this questionnaire is to assess a candidate’s ability to comprehend and recall basic aviation knowledge. The questionnaire will also assess motivation and help prepare a basic grounding applicable to future flying training and examinations.

To prepare, candidates should download the following manual:
• Pilot’s handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, which can be downloaded here http://bit.ly/2lqLSzS.
While general knowledge assessment, particularly in the technical Interview will not be restricted to specific areas, in preparing for the written questionnaire candidates should focus their learning on the following chapters:

• Chapter 4 – Principles of Flight
  
• Chapter 5 – Aerodynamics of Flight
  
• Chapter 6 – Flight Controls
  
• Chapter 7 – Aircraft Systems (7-1 to 7-19)
  
• Chapter 12 – Weather Theory
  The questionnaire will consist of multiple-choice questions derived from the above chapters. A section on Cathay Pacific company knowledge will also be included.
