At 70% N1 you engage N1 for the AT during takeoff. At 1500 you engage FLCH. This will take care of climb thrust....you dont call for it. The exception is the V1 cut, i believe you call for or set (cant remember) MCT after flap retraction. AT and AP should be disengaged whenever the briefing says to disengage them...I have to run to class so I dont have to look at it right now, but will try to later. PLT is both pilots....ie, Altimeters.....CAPT...chkd, FO chkd.
Good luck,

Yes, when you turn off the AP, also turn off the AT. The FD gets turned off at different times on each pattern, and you have to remember when to do and call for it. You never get to flaps up....always stay at FL1 and 190 kts. On the V1 cut, you have to adjust the power at 3000 feet, as the AT kicks off when you loose the engine. The AP will be on however until GS intercept, but you have to manage the thrust the whole pattern. You get to keep the FD on all the way to the ground.
They are looking for your flying ability as much as they ability to know the porfile and all the finer points of it. You get to choose between cross bar and V bar FDs and which seat you want to sit in. Use heading mode to make the turn to final appch and then back to lnav or appch. Make your take off and appch briefs short and to the point.
good luck

Always,
Would you have anymore info about the interview than what is already on the board? I have got an atp test book on the way. I have been reading the far/aim, an aviation weather book and the internet in my preparation. Are you still waiting for results?

If you study the ATP written you will pass the written test. I was done in about 5 or 10 minutes. I was actually asked if I wanted to go over the test. Do not study anything that requires computation, their were none. So all those flight planning chapters ignore.
The interview was straight forward. Why you want to work for ANA, situation questions like what to consider in icing conditions, in the air, landing and taxiing. If you fly the Airbus, you might be asked about the various laws for the flight controls. If you have 767 time, I have been told you better know the systems and limitations. They expect that. Other than that, a really relaxed interview. Each person on the panel asks a couple of questions.
In the sim, have a positive attitude. When they go over the profiles, pay attention and ask questions. Show them you studied the profiles. I had profile cards made up, you can take them and use them in the sim, though that is tough when you are hand flying the plane.
Overall experience was wonderful, unforunately, I did not pass the medical. Just FYI, it can take 3 months to find out that you did not pass the medical. They will not tell you why you flunked the medical, unless life or death. Mine must not be to bad.
I am sorry I did not make it, but the commute would of been hard, but offset by pay. I am lucky I was able to find another job.
Good luck, the handler Jun is a great guy.

Always,
Thanks for the input. Sorry you didn't make it. I flew the 737 for a few years, but haven't flown it for about 15 months. Do you think they would still ask about it? I remember some basic numbers, but that is about it. Checklist(memory items), I don't remember either.
I am glad you found something else.

Don't know of anyone getting asked questions on other aircraft, except 767/airbus. The reason for the Airbus questions is because one of the interviewers was a captain on the aircraft.
Relax during the interview, show them you really want to be their and enjoy yourself. Don't know how they pick you makes it and who does not.
I have only been told that alot wash out on medical. Don't know how many don't make it through the sim.
Good luck.
