It's an allnight thing so try to plan your sleep accordingly. Jumpseated to CMH on an Airnet Lear. There a three parts to the interview process: 1) Aviation Knowledge test and weight and balance problem 2) Sim ride in a Frasca (or AST) 3) Interview with the Director of Training Craig Washka.

The first part of the process is an aviation knowledge test. No part 135 Q's, just 91 stuff. IFR stuff, WX, alternate mins, multi questions, ect. Then a couple of W&B questions on a Baron 58. Hint: one ques. was what is the max zero fuel weight for the Baron? There is know answer listed in the POH, so I think it may be a trick. You must get 70% or better to pass, very easy.

Then on to the sim. They give you the profile after you finish the written test. Takeoff 28L at CMH, attitude indicator failure on climbout. Declare an emergency and get vectors back to CMH or VFR conditions, if you don't then you will have to fly the rest of the profile without an AI. Vectors to NDB 4 at Bolton Field (2I4). Missed approach, engine failure on climbout. Don't forget to notify ATC. Vector for ILS 28L at CMH (single engine). They mix it up a little, some guys had to do a hold.

Interview is next. Tell me about yourself? What type of multi where you last flying? What did that have for engines? Critical engine? What if you had a landing gear problem? Electrical System? Why Airnet? Tell me about yourself? What are your goals? What has been your high point in aviation? What makes a good freight pilot?

It is pass/fail on those three parts. If you pass, you go on to the next portion of the interview. I blew it on the interview part. If you pass everything, they have you do the psych. evaluation last. From what I've heard it is one the hardest interview proccesses out there. All the pilots seem to be very happy there, seems like a good company to work for.

I arrived to the AirNet HQ at 9pm. I wnet back to the flight department and met with the one secretary. She took me back and gave me a written examination. It was fairly simple, 45 questions on Part 61 and 91, then a few wx questions too. There was also a W&B problem on a Baron. After the quiz I waited till they graded it, that took 5 minutes. They said I passed phase one. Then they had me wait about 30 minutes. I interviewed one on one with the director of training. Easy guy to get a long with. That interview lasted 10 minutes, then onto the sim. The sim profile was handed to me about an hour before I actually got in the sim. The sim ride was not bad at all. Some partial panel, two engine failures, and an ILS. That is it. After the sim I hung out for about 30 minutes and they gave me a class date! All in a nights work. AirNet is really growing! If you want multi PIC time fast, you should consider it.
