2. Can you miss the clearance limit and loose commands from the Air Craft Officer?

Yes, there is a policy and procedure to be followed for the
missing clearance limit, so a Pilot can leave and reach a
different altitude for sometime within the limit and should
come back to the proper clearance limit once things are in
control. This time limit is only as per the procedure in the
manual.

3. Without Air Traffic Control, what is the minimum descent rate can descend the plane?

A Pilot can descend up to 500” bare minimum, without
informing the ATC (Air Traffic Controller) and this is only
during an exceptional cases. However, it's always better to
be in regular touch with the Air Traffic Controller and to
keep him informed about the descent rate. This will not have
any traffic problems during landing in the runway.

4. When pilot is assigned a speed, how much can one deviate from that speed?

Complying and following the actual speed adjustment
policies, a pilot can run and indicate plus or minus 10
knots or 0.02 mach number of specified speed. Its always
better to keep the land air officer in the loop before
adjusting the air speed. Exceptions are always there to meet
the emergency requirement.

5. Explain When can one deviate from any flight rules and regulations?

Chief Pilot in command can deviate from rules and
regulations during emergency period; he can do it to get the
plane back to the normalcy or to meet the expected
requirement of the emergency.

6. Explain What would you do if your Captain is not following the instructions properly?

Refer to your plane manual and discuss the same with your
client and ensure you make him understand the procedures and
rules. If he does not respond, you will call your concerned
aircraft officer at the airport and escalate and make sure
your voice frequency is recorded.

7. Tell me How would you handle if your co-worker is not co-operating with you?

Talk to your co-worker directly and explain him that you are
having a problem working with him and make him understand
the situation, if he is not willing to listen or not
co-operating, then direct the issue to chief pilot.

8. Explain What is the testing done in aerospace engineering?

The testing of small rocket engines and entails development
by researching on aerospace. They are responsible to perform
and experiment on laboratory facility which is dedicated to
aerospace. One should be capable of solving problems by
applying knowledge by solving problem of the research done.
They will be working with technical team of researchers and
they should have ability handle projects alone.

9. Tell me about stress analysis?

People working on these areas as a aerospace engineers
should have familiarity and exposure to NASTRAN and MATLAB
with knowledge on space environment and modeling of flexible
dynamics. These aerospace engineers will be responsible to
conduct stress analysis on metallic and composite
structures. NASTRAN, IDEAD, Oracle and PATRAN proficiency
level is required. Their duties also include on aircraft
which are metallic and composite structures. This includes
and understanding of control surface stiffness and loop
calculations, finite element modeling (FEM), fatigue testing
requirement and analysis.

10. Explain What will be the responsibility of the spacecraft
operations, dynamics and controls?

People working on these areas as a aerospace engineers
should have familiarity and exposure to NASTRAN and MATLAB
with knowledge on space environment and modeling of flexible
dynamics. These aerospace engineers will be responsible to
work in the areas of structural control, momentum control,
line of sight (LOS), spacecraft mission design, control of
space boards payloads, operational engineering.
