In my test there was no geography section and i think general knowledge was of 10 marks rather than 05 marks like this time. Some questions were : A nautical mile is ---- km ? the outer most layer of the earth is called -----? what does control+c do in ms word ? what is application used for writing urdu in windows ? worlds biggest passenger plane ? etc etc. I.Q questions are mostly diagrams and quick sequential maths which is quite easy. and no matter how much you study for general knowledge section it all comes down to luck.
There are alot of ATC Assts. who have given the test for AATCO and i have asked all of them and everyone said that english and analytical were the toughest parts of the test so that is the section to concentrate on since it comprises of 60 marks.

2 & 3 . Deputy Manager air transport is an existing job . I dont know much about it since its in a entirely different department but basicly they are responsible for coordinating with international offices of different airlines who are then granted written permissions to overfly pakistan airspace . They pay for these permissions in $$ so the check and balance will also be done by you.
One thing here to understand is that some flights are SCHEDULE like PIA, Airblue which have daily passenger flights from one place to another. And then there are NON SCHEDULE flights like when PIA has hajj operation. Also there are daily about 100 non schedule flights just overflying pakistan which have all sorts of cargo, hazardous material also air ambulance flights etc etc and to grant them permission is the responsibility of Air Transport Depaprtment.
I dont think there are any incentives or licenses in this post. Salary increments are on annual basis and also every june-july budget the government salaries are revised.
As i said i dont know much about this post so i have no idea what type of questions can be expected in the interview

And yes u will have live with other CAA Officials.
But if u want to move your family then getting the accomodation is a bit difficult and it will cost u your housing allowance which for PG-07 is about 12-14k. and electricity and other utilities will be seperately payed by u.

I'll keep u guys updated as the process continues ...
