“I would fully recommend Flight Deck Wingman to any aspiring pilot or anyone with an upcoming assessment. During the day-long session, my Wingman taught extremely useful techniques that made me feel very prepared for my cadet scheme assessment day. Furthermore, he boosted my confidence and the mock interview gave me very valuable advice that I am sure set me apart from other applicants. I would not hesitate to recommend using Flight Deck Wingman and his professional service to help prepare for any upcoming pilot job interview or selection day, and he certainly helped secure me a place on a leading airline cadet program. Furthermore, he’s an extremely friendly and welcoming guy who will make you feel completely at ease, no matter your experience.”

Frequently Asked Questions

We get asked a lot of questions about our Flight School Assessment Preparation Course as we strive to help future airline pilots realise their dream to become an airline pilot.

Yes! Our easy to use pilot interview and group exercise training techniques are proven to work for any flight school assessment process. Our clients have a 99% success rate in passing their flight school assessments with schools that include CAE, Skyborne, Leading Edge, L3 and many more!

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.

Flight schools use an 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 (in the case of tagged sponsorship schemes including the MPL), as an employee. Our course will train you in these competencies and how to evidence them to pass your flight school assessment.

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 flight school pilot interviews by training them to evidence competencies.

Thoroughly and in advance! You must start your preparation early. Carefully consider your motivation for starting flying training and for your future career. 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 Flight School 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 Flight School Assessment Preparation course today. You can start your preparation by purchasing a copy of our Interview and Group Exercise eBook here.
