Frequently Asked Questions
Do you want to know more about how our pilot Covering Letter coaching can help you get to the crucial stages of any airline or flight school assessment process?
What are some top tips for creating a pilot covering letter?
A few make a real difference. Keep it concise and well-structured – recruiters read a lot of them, so make yours easy to follow. Tailor it specifically to the airline: show genuine research and explain why them, not just any airline. Focus on what you’d bring to their flight deck rather than what you want from them. Back up your claims with brief evidence rather than empty adjectives, and always proofread carefully, as errors undermine an otherwise strong letter. Above all, make it authentically yours – a generic letter that could have gone to anyone rarely lands.
Should I create a bespoke Cover Letter for every pilot or flight school application?
Definitely! We would strongly recommend creating a bespoke pilot Cover Letter for each and every airline or flight school application. This helps you stand out against the other pilots applying for the role and helps the pilot recruiters more easily recognise why your experience would make you the ideal pilot candidate. Generic covering letters are easily spotted!
How long should my pilot Cover Letter be?
No longer than one page. Make sure that everything you include on your pilot covering letter is relevant and concise – just like a brief in an aircraft.
Can I use AI to write my application?
Using AI as a tool to check your spelling or word count is perfectly sensible but the ideas, examples and writing should always be your own. An application is your chance to show who you are and why you’re a strong candidate, and a generic, AI-generated one rarely does that. Our coaching helps you create something genuinely personal and compelling, which is what recruiters and panels are really looking for.
