Susi Air Pilot Interview (March 2014)

Hi everyone, I just came back from Indonesia, attended one of my favorite company Susi Air pilot interview.

C208B (Cessna Grand Caravan), 12 seated, single engine, free turbine turboprop aircraft.

The first day took flight from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta Soekarno Hatta International Airport (CGK), directly go to check-in hotel, taxi and hotel covered by my own pocket.
I strongly suggest your hotel close to the interview venue, because Jakarta traffic jam is horrible.

Second day, arrive Jakarta Halim Perdanakusuma Airport about 6a.m morning, take my breakfast and report at the 2nd floor Susi Air lounge. Air ticket (KUL -CGK - KUL), Taxi and meal covered by my own pocket.
We start at 7a.m for the written test and compass test.
Written test is about CPL/IR, C208B and PT6A-114A engine. 42 questions in 60 minutes.
Compass test is about the exam for people who suitable for pilot job or not.
Compass test included :
(1) Controlling
(2) Memory
(3) Multitasking
(4) Spatial Awareness
(5) Math test - 24 questions in 20 minutes
After the written and compass test, there is one more test, which is called Personality Test. 255 questions, no time limit.
All the test took about 4 hours to finish.

Third day, Verbal Interview (Face to Face Interview).
They will ask you some personal background, C208B system, PT6A-114A Engine, and some situation questions.
It take 1 hours in this stage.
If you passed your written test, compass test and verbal interview, you'll going to Pangandaran, which is Susi Air headquarter.
Susi Air provide return air ticket (Jakarta > Pangandaran > Jakarta), meal and hotel.
If the Interviewees fails stage written test and interview, you will not progress to the next stage for simulator check.

Fourth day, early in the morning, we took Susi Air flight from Jakarta Halim Perdanakusuma Airport to Pangandaran. From Nusawiru Airport (Pangandaran) to Susi Air headquarter take 1 hours in the car.
After arrive Susi Air headquarter, a short briefing, then start for simulator check.
