Pilot Assessment
In All Degrees

PILOT-360 is the most efficient and cost effective way to ensure the psychometric ability of a candidate for successful training and a successful airline career.

Competency Based Pilot Assessment

The pilot competencies, developed by EASA and ICAO, that every professional pilot, regardless of his or her role, should develop during training and deploy throughout this professional career are:

Application of
Knowledge

Application of procedures and compliance with regulations

Communication

Aeroplane flight path management, automation

Aeroplane flight path management, manual control

Leadership and
teamwork

Problem solving and decision making

Situation awareness and management of information

Workload
management

When measuring pilot aptitude, PILOT-360 uses the following measuring dimensions, which are all directly related to the nine pilot competencies listed above.

1
Basic mental abilities

Components are: memory capacity, speed and accuracy of information processing, spatial abilities, technical comprehension, reasoning, math, physics, logic abilities and long-term concentration.

2
Composite mental abilities

Components are: allocation of attention, multi-tasking, psycho motor abilities and spatial abilities.

3
Operational abilities

Components are: problem solving and decision-making, workload management, situation awareness and management of information.

4
Math and physics

Math and Physics are vital for pilots as they enable accurate calculations, understanding of flight dynamics, navigation, and the application of physical principles necessary for making precise and safe operational decisions.

5
English language proficiency

English language proficiency is essential for a pilot as it ensures clear and effective communication with air traffic control, crew, and other pilots, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and enhancing flight safety globally.

6
ATPL

ATPL knowledge is crucial for a pilot as it provides the comprehensive theoretical foundation needed to safely operate complex aircraft, make informed decisions, and handle a wide range of flight scenarios in both normal and emergency situations.

Why PILOT-360?

PILOT-360 is highly effective and cost efficient. When correctly implemented, PILOT-360 can contribute to cost savings for the flight school or airline while selecting the most suitable candidates. Experience has shown that the costs associated with implementing a pilot aptitude testing system are significantly lower than the consequences of high failure rates resulting from immature selection or screening processes.

About PILOT-360

Safety is our industry’s number one priority, and accident prevention critical. Being a professional pilot is a very demanding role and is directly linked to the safety of an airline’s passengers and its financial health. To increase operational safety, the civil aviation training community has globally started to shift from the traditional task-based training to competency-based training and assessment. This is where PILOT-360 was formed.
