The first stage is the Basic Qualification, conducted by Interpersonal (ip) in Hamburg. It pairs a series of cognitive tests with the MOZARD psychomotor test, and because Condor accepts no DLR certificate in its place, this day is unavoidable — and therefore worth training for properly.
What the day covers
Cognitive tests: short, strictly timed subtests in the classic pilot-selection families — mental arithmetic, logical sequences, spatial orientation, memory and sustained attention — where the difficulty is speed and endurance rather than complexity.
The MOZARD psychomotor test: a computer-based coordination assessment in which you control tasks with hands (and feet) while responding to additional stimuli, measuring tracking accuracy, choice reaction and how your performance holds as tasks stack up.
How to prepare
Train the cognitive families little and often: the full maths and full sequences games on this platform keep arithmetic and pattern logic fast, the spatial awareness game covers orientation, and the focused sustained attention game builds the concentration endurance a full testing day demands. For the MOZARD, the hand-eye-foot coordination, complex choice reaction and multitasking games train exactly the layered-workload skills it measures — practise them in longer sessions, because your performance in the final third of a session is the best predictor of how you will hold up in Hamburg. Arrive rested: psychomotor scores are the first casualty of a short night.
