stand out by being different. They seek out the truth and make decisions based on fact, not prejudice. The leader I
believe can make a better captain, however a captain also follows procedure.
Which would you rather fly with? An old more experienced captain that everyone likes, but doesn't use a checklist,
or a younger not so experienced captain that uses a checklist? ANS Older Captain. I have a checklist and as the
FO its my job to make sure it gets done.

checklist as I was new (lying) and it would help me become a better pilot for the company.

extremely rough during a procedure with a student, we were below 1,000ft and were not producing anymore
horsepower. Brought the aircraft around to land immediately at a very close by runway.

situation without becoming too stressed. For example, when I deal with an unsatisfied customer, rather than focusing
on feeling stressed, I focus on the task at hand. I believe my ability to communicate effectively with customers
during these moments helps reduce my own stress. I think it also reduces any stress the customer may feel.

written exam and received a low score.
Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a coworker ANS Aircraft at our flight school had previous
accidents which altered the handling characteristics of the aircraft. I did not feel comfortable flying the aircraft and
deemed it unsafe. Our manager argued that maintenance signed off on the airplane so it is safe to fly. Even though I

observation and then do that
