Frequently Asked Questions

We get asked a lot of questions about our Airline Assessment Preparation Course as we strive to help pilots join their airline of choice.

Yes! Our easy to use pilot interview and group exercise training techniques are proven to work for any airline assessment process. Our clients have a 99% success rate in passing their airline assessments after attending this course.

Airlines frequently ask questions in the following categories: Getting to know you, scenario based questions, industry and company,  competency based questions and end of the interview. We will train you in techniques to answer questions in all of these categories.

Aside from you having to meet their mandatory entry requirements, they use their assessment process to look for evidence that you have the skills and qualities (known as competencies) that they require from you as both a pilot and as an employee. Our course will train you in these competencies and how to evidence them.

The key to passing a pilot interview is to “evidence competencies”. This is not as difficult as it may sound, but you must do so effectively. Simply stating “I have good communication skills” is not evidencing competencies. Flight Deck Wingman are experts at helping pilots excel during their pilot interviews by training them to evidence competencies.

Thoroughly and in advance! You must start your preparation early and ensure that both you technical knowledge, company knowledge and ability to evidence competencies for the non-technical elements of an interview is sound. We would strongly advise not waiting to be called for an interview before starting your preparation.  A good place to start is the Flight Deck Wingman pilot Interview and Group Exercise eBook. 

A group exercise is a group discussion exercise in which a group of around 3-6 candidates work together to resolve a fictitious problem. The problem may be aviation related, or completely non-aviation related. During the Flight Deck Wingman Airline Assessment Preparation course you will partake in two practical group exercises – one technical and one completely non-technical.

Pilot group exercises make it difficult not to be the “naked you”! We don’t mean you with no clothes on of course! In this context, this means that your natural character will likely show and this could be the key to success, or not… Evidencing key skills like communication and valuing other members of the team are essential to success. Trying to “win” the group exercise as an individual is not likely to result in success. Book onto a Flight Deck Wingman Airline Assessment Preparation course today. You can start your preparation by purchasing a copy of our Interview and Group Exercise eBook here.
