PILOT SELECTION
How do I prepare for the pilot selection?
Whether you are a current pilot or applying for one of our new pilot “Ab Initio” programs, there is a series of standards you will need to pass.
Preparing for these is like preparing for any other test; look at the literature on the topics, practice taking similar tests, read up on professional knowledge, etcetera. Remember to practice your English if it is not your native language.
For all categories, we will evaluate:
- Educational background
- Work experience
- Aptitude - Testing your aptitude for the role
- Personality - Assuring that acceptable personal traits are displayed
- Medical - You must be able to obtain a class 1 medical certificate
- Technical - Evaluating technical aptitude for new pilots and technical tests and/or interview for experienced pilots
- Behavior - Behavioral interviews and group exercises will test motivation and competence level

A candidate profile is your profile in AAP Aviation's database. It is (and always will be) free to create a candidate profile and once you have completed your profile you can easily apply for jobs through AAP Aviation.
You can set up your own preferences and choose if you only want to receive job alerts or if you also want to subscribe to our newsletter.
