Pilot Assessment

NEW HIRE OR COMMAND UPGRADE? WE ASSESS YOUR PILOTS TO ENSURE THEY ARE READY FOR THEIR NEW ROLE

Selection Procedure for the Cockpit Crew

NEUTRAL ASSESSMENT OF PILOTS

Whether a pilot has what it takes to join your airline, whether a first officer is ready for a command upgrade, or whether a seasoned pilot would also make a great instructor – we’ll find out for you as part of our Pilot Assessment. Our experienced instructors independently evaluate pilots with regard to their suitability for a new role with your airline. You can then make an informed decision based on our experts’ recommendation.

The one-day Pilot Assessment sessions take place at one of our 12 Lufthansa Aviation Training locations. They are carried out by a licensed instructor; each consist of three modules:

Personal impression
Theoretical test
Practical test in the full flight simulator for all common aircraft models from the Airbus, Boeing, and Bombardier families.

The precise procedure for the Pilot Assessment depends on the role in question and the experience level of the candidate. We will naturally tailor the assessment to your individual needs.

Pilot Assessment for New Hires

Hiring a new candidate, whether on a temporary or permanent basis, always includes a level of uncertainty. Minimize your risk by letting us provide an independent assessment of potential first officers or pilots in command.

PILOT ASSESSMENT FOR COMMAND UPGRADES

If one of your first officers is preparing to take the step to becoming a captain, let us independently assess if your candidate is ready and suitable for a command upgrade.

PILOT ASSESSMENT FOR INSTRUCTORS

Great pilots don’t necessarily make amazing instructors. We assess whether your first officers or pilots in command have the potential to teach what they have learned as instructors.
