Frequently Asked Questions

Do you want to know more about how our pilot CV/Resumé coaching can help you get to the crucial stages of any airline or flight school assessment process?

Definitely! We would strongly recommend creating a bespoke pilot CV 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.

If it’s your own design and template, that’s absolutely fine. What we’d strongly recommend against is using a service that writes your CV for you, or a heavily templated one shared by lots of applicants – recruiters can often spot a CV that isn’t genuinely your own, and it doesn’t create the best impression. The same goes for AI: fine for checking spelling or word count, but the ideas and writing should always be your own. Your CV needs to reflect the real you, because that’s exactly what recruiters are assessing.

Think about the qualities that would make you an asset to any airline – because these are assessed as competencies: the core behaviours that make a safe, effective pilot, such as communication, teamwork, decision-making and professional standards. Alongside these, your technical credentials matter too: your licences, ratings, type experience and relevant hours. The key isn’t simply to list these competencies, but to evidence them – backing each with a real, concrete example that shows it in action. Anyone can claim to be a good team player; what sets a strong CV apart is proving it.

Start by researching the airline properly – their operation, fleet, routes, ethos – so you can tailor everything you submit to reflect what they specifically look for. Then it’s about evidence: rather than simply claiming you’d be a great fit, evidence it, with concrete examples that show the competencies they’re assessing, such as teamwork, decision-making, and communication. Woven consistently through your CV, covering letter and interview answers, this evidence-based picture is what convinces a recruiter you’re the right candidate for their flight deck.
