Pilot Interview Preparation Course

Airlines hire on attitude and train to competency. During an airline pilot interview process, pilots need to prove to recruiters that they are the right person for the job.

The IAANZ Pilot Interview Preparation Course covers simulator sessions and ground modules which are specially designed to help pilots build the skills that airline recruiters are looking for.

The instructors running the course are senior industry professionals with years of experience as airline pilots. They will provide first-hand information on what it is like to work for an airline and take you through the interview process to help you present yourself in a manner that draws the interviewers attention.

The course includes technical problem solving, a simulator assessment and a personal interview. The course also includes Multi- Crew Non-Technical Skills (NTS) featuring leadership, teamwork, workload management, problem solving, decision making and threat and error management. Aspects important in flying a jet aircraft are covered prior to finishing the course with an hour-long simulator session per pilot in the Pacific Simulator EuroJet PS4.5 fixed base simulator modelled on the A320.

Was really valuable to spend the day with an industry veteran to discuss the workings of an airline, how they interview and how to go about planning exercises. The simulator part of the course was a lot of fun and valuable as well to get some knowledge around flying a simulator.

I found the course very professional and helpful. It gave me a good insight into what to expect for my Air NZ interview. I would definitely recommend it to other potential interviewees.
