1、Speaking practice 6 Interview question1.How do you think about a number of unrelated small errors ( events) could lead to major incidents?Example answerAs for airline operation, every factor of the flight operation is equally critical in terms of safety. Even one single error can lead to a chain of

2、mistakes and cause the final air disaster.For example (instance), if a highly stressed pilot may fail to cross check the take off speed miscalculation given by the dispatcher, he might take off with the wrong speed and go into crash.Example 2: wrong take off weight calculation, insufficient refuelin

3、g, misunderstanding of the clearance, using the wrong approach chart, setting a wrong landing minimum, failure to clear the obstacles on the runway, maintenance people change a wrong spare part on the aircraft. Not enough communication among crew members leading to incorrect action in the flight dec

4、k, ignore the warning signal in the cockpit.So not only pilots but also all the other people engaged in the aviation have to pay a great attention to all the details of their work and strictly follow the right procedure. Interview question2.Have you ever experienced any landing gear extension proble

5、m in the flight? How did you deal with it? Have you ever practiced landing gear extension problem in the simulator? What did you do?Example answerYes, I have experienced landing gear extension problem for once, it was probably in May 2003 when I was flying from Hong Kong to Beijing. During the desce

6、nt, I tried to extend the landing gear by using the landing gear lever, but the landing gear indication showed there was no extension at all, so I tried the manual extension. This time the indication showed normal. However in order to ensure that the landing gear was safe for landing , I also contac

7、ted the tower, the tower asked us to fly a low pass over the runway. After observing that our landing gear was fully extended, ATC cleared us to land. Finally we made a safe landing. At later stage, the maintenance people found out it was a mechanical failure in the land gear system.Interview questi

8、on3.Do you have any suggestion for your company to reduce the stress level of the pilots? Example answerFirst of all, give the flight crew more rest timeSecondly, recruit and train more qualified pilots to meet the need of the rapid development of the company.Lastly the company should talk to the AT

9、C and Airport to reduce the delays. Because pilots often have to wait very long time in the aircraft for departures. This has made us very tired all the time. And this situation has expanded our duty time and it is also a waste of time.Interview question4.As a pilot, do you have any suggestion to im

10、prove the communication among the flight crews? (a topic on CRM-crew resource management), including captain, co-pilot, and flight attendants. Or do you have any suggestion for your company to improve the pilot training on people management? (also a topic on CRM)Example answerI think the crew commun

11、ication and coordination is very important in terms of safety, because all crew members should work as a whole team, they should fully understand each other. They should be informed about any abnormal situation if happens. Each crew member should know well about his own responsibilities and others.

12、I think the company should give much more training on crew resource management for all the crew members including captains, co-pilots and flight attendants. Also the company should arrange more emergency training for them. Interview question5. How the changes in aviation ( new technology in aircraft

13、) have helped the pilot to avoid the bad weather enroute? What does this affect you (impact on you)? Example answerNew weather radar, can detect weather in longer distance.Ground to Air data communication system allows pilots receiving weather broadcast information long before the weather.This has r

14、educed the risk of flying into the bad weather or any volcanic ash ahead.Interview question6. How the changes in aviation ( new technology in aircraft) have helped the pilot to find out the malfunctions( failures) in the aircraft in order to improve the safety ? What does this affect you (impact on

15、you)? Example answerActually there are many new technologies in the aircraft that help pilots to find out the malfunctions in the aircraft, for instances, different warnings and sensors for different systems in the aircraft. If any of the parameters is over the limit, pilots can get audio and visual

16、 warnings. For example, if the engine temperature is so high, we may pay attention to the engine, if things go worse, we can carry out the right procedure to prevent the engine damage and take appropriate actions to make sure the safe flight. This has really reduced the work load of pilots in dealin

17、g with abnormal situations.Interview question7. Which is your favorite airport to fly to? Which airport is more efficient in dealing with ( handling) the delays or flights cancellations ? Example answerBeijing Capital International airport is my favorite one. I think it is more efficient in dealing

18、with the flight delays or cancellations, because Beijing is the capital of China, and Beijing airport has the largest traffic volume and the best facilities in China. Terminal 3 opened on March 26, it will provide capacity for large numbers of aircraft on domestic and international flights, and exce

19、llent transfer facilities for passengers as well.Interview question8. Do you have any suggestion to the airlines, manufacturers of the aircraft or airports to reduce delays ?Example answerWe should have a plan to increase capacity and efficiency of the national airspace system and build more runways

20、 at some busy airports in china. To reduce flight delays, CAAC should limit the number of takeoffs and landings during peak periods at the busiest airports. Other options to address delay problems include adding new capacity by building new airports.Interview question9. Have you ever experienced bad

21、 (severe) weather conditions since you began to fly? Which is the most serious one? Tell me about it. What was the impact on your flight? How did you deal with it? How did the passengers feel about it?Example answerYes, I think most of the pilots have experienced bad weather conditions, no matter how serious it was. Last summer, when I was on an evening flight from Beijing to Huhhot, I was advised that the weather appeared to be unsuitable for landing at our destination due to lightning. So, we had to fly to the alternate, Bao
