China Southern Airlines pilot interview questions and selection process
How China Southern Airlines selects pilots: 5 selection stages. Use them to practise; they are examples, not official answers.
Selection stages
- Application through an agency
- Screening trip: interview and Chinese medical (EEG, ultrasound, eye exam, stress test over 40)
- Company simulator check
- CAAC ATPL conversion exam (about 100 questions, about 3 hours, 70% to pass)
- CAAC simulator check before training
Tests
- CAAC ATPL conversion exam
Simulator check
About 4 hours of practice over 3 days, then a 4-hour checkride; single-engine raw-data NDB approaches with multiple failures.
By rank
- Captain: Expat captain recruitment; type-rated and non-type-rated.
For practice only: general examples, not official answers. Pilot Jobs International accepts no responsibility for how they are used; prepare your own answers in your own words.
