Candidates who progress face a simulator assessment flown on a Boeing 737 MAX. You are not expected to fly like a type-rated pilot — the assessment looks at raw aptitude: how you handle the controls, how quickly you build a mental picture of what the aircraft is doing, how you take and apply instructions, and whether your performance holds together as the task load rises.
What it measures
The core skills are hand-eye-foot coordination and workload management: keeping the aircraft where it should be while listening, deciding and communicating at the same time. Assessors care less about a perfect result than about trainability — smooth, correcting inputs, situational awareness, and graceful recovery when something slips rather than fixation or freezing.
How to prepare
You cannot replicate a full-motion simulator at home, but you can train the underlying coordination and tracking. On the practice page, the Hand-Eye-Foot Coordination Test and Path Following build the steer-and-track reflex the sim rewards; practise them with a physical joystick where possible, since continuous analogue control is closer to the real task than a keyboard. Just as valuable is arriving rested and calm: fine motor control and divided attention are the first things a bad night's sleep destroys.
