Clear the online stage and you are invited to an in-person day, typically with four elements; the exact order and content vary between sittings, so treat the list below as the shape of the day rather than a fixed timetable.
The ATPL test
A short written test of around ten questions drawn from general ATPL theory — the airline-transport-pilot ground-school syllabus spanning subjects like meteorology, air law, navigation, aircraft general knowledge and human performance. Many versions of the test circulate, so it samples broad familiarity rather than deep memorisation of any single area. If you already hold or are studying for ATPL theory you are well placed; if not, the Aviation Knowledge game on this platform is an ATPL-lite check across exactly these subjects, and a general skim of the subject areas covers the rest.
The group business case
You are put in a group and given a business case — a scenario that varies between sessions — and the group must reach one shared decision together. Note what this is not: it is not a survival-style ranking task, but a business problem the group has to work through to a single agreed outcome. Assessors watch how you contribute, not whether your answer is 'right': the strongest candidates structure the discussion, bring quieter members in, and move the group toward a decision without dominating it.
The flight-planning case study
A case study in which you are given roughly twenty minutes to prepare a flight, then discuss or present your plan. It rewards calm, structured thinking under a clock — reading the brief, prioritising, and organising a plan you can defend — which is the same demand trained by the Planning test on this platform. A little familiarity with basic flight-planning logic (route, fuel, weather, alternates) helps you spend the twenty minutes deciding rather than deciphering.
The HR interview
A conversation about your motivation, your background and your fit for the airline and the profession. Prepare concrete stories from your own life for the classic competencies — teamwork, handling setbacks, responsibility — and stay consistent with the personality questionnaire you completed online. Understanding the Psychological Evaluation covers motivation, competencies and questionnaire consistency in depth, and the Big Five test helps you know your own profile before you are asked about it.
