Frequently Asked Questions
Do you want to learn more about the ways in which our Techniques Not Tips Offs training methodology can help you with your pilot recruitment journey?
What is the Wingman Academy?
The Wingman Academy brings expert pilot recruitment training into a flexible online format, designed to help you excel at any stage of your journey – from your initial application right through to interviews and group exercises. Every course features in-depth video lessons, downloadable training aids and quizzes to check your understanding as you go, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit anything as often as you need throughout your access period.
What sets the Academy apart is that it’s genuinely human-led. Every lesson is developed and delivered by Wingman Andrew – a current airline pilot, former military fast-jet pilot and experienced recruiter – not generated by AI or pieced together from generic content. You’re learning the process from someone who has sat on both sides of it, distilled into one of the most comprehensive eLearning courses in the airline prep market.
How does your pilot airline assessment prep work?
Our training is built around the same competency-based principles that airlines and operators now use to select, train and assess their pilots – the approach underpinning Evidence-Based Training (EBT) and modern competency-based selection. Rather than teaching you to second-guess or “game” an assessment, we focus on the core competencies recruiters are genuinely looking for, so you can demonstrate them naturally under pressure.
In practice, that means we break the process down stage by stage – application, interview, group exercise and simulator assessment – and coach you in clear, repeatable techniques for each. You’ll understand not just what recruiters are assessing, but how they score it and what a strong response actually looks like. And because every session is human-led by Wingman Andrew – a current airline pilot and experienced recruiter who has sat on both sides of the table – you’re learning the process from someone who knows exactly how it works from the inside.
Can you help with any pilot interview?
Absolutely! Our techniques aren’t tied to any one airline or flight school – they’re built around the core qualities that selection panels look for across cadetships, flight schools and sponsorships, so you’ll feel fully prepared whichever route you’re pursuing. Whether you’re applying for an airline cadetship, a flight school place or a sponsored scheme, you’ll learn clear, repeatable techniques you can adapt to whatever the assessment involves. Choose our Wingman Academy Course or one of our Coaching products and let’s get started on helping you pass you pilot interview.
Is airline preparation really needed?
Getting your foot on the first rung of a flying career is one of the most competitive processes in aviation. A single cadetship or flight school place can attract hundreds of applicants, and selection is rarely a simple interview – it’s a multi-stage evaluation covering aptitude tests, group exercises, technical questions, psychometric assessments and competency-based interviews. Many talented applicants are caught out not because they lack the ability to fly, but because they walk in unprepared for what’s actually being assessed.
That’s the gap we close. We show you exactly what selection panels are looking for at each stage and how to demonstrate it – so you arrive confident, structured, and ready. When a single assessment can decide whether your flying career gets off the ground, going in fully prepared isn’t a luxury. It’s the smart move.
Can you help me with my pilot CV/Resumé
Sure can! Our Academy Courses or Online Coaching are designed to help you understand how to create the pitch perfect Airline CV/Resumé. What’s more, this training will help you understand how to create a pilot CV/Resumé that’s bespoke to each and every airline you might apply to, now or in the future!
What experience do your trainers have?
Flight School Wingman was founded by a former military fast-jet pilot turned commercial airline pilot. Wingman Andrew has personally helped thousands of pilots prepare for their airline assessments worldwide, and also co-founded a pilot recruitment agency. As one of the most experienced trainers in the airline prep market, Andrew will work closely with you at every stage of your pilot recruitment journey.
Can you help me apply to any airline or operator in the world?
Yes! Our evidence-based training techniques are built around the core competencies airlines and operators look for everywhere – so they work for any recruitment process, anywhere in the world. We’ll never simply “tip you off” on a specific airline’s questions or exercises. That approach is unethical, it’s easily spotted by recruiters, and it leaves you exposed the moment you’re asked something you didn’t rehearse. Instead, we teach you to understand what’s genuinely being assessed and how to demonstrate it so you can adapt to whatever any process throws at you. Leave your training with us fully prepared to approach your pilot recruitment journey with the confidence to succeed!
I need help with a pilot covering letter. Can you assist?
Yes! Book some face-to-face coaching online with us, or learn in your own time via our Wingman Academy, featuring detailed video lessons, downloadable content and more. Our techniques will help you create a powerful pilot cover letter for any airline, anywhere in the world.
Airline Pilot Interview & Assessment Preparation – Do you need it?
Future pilots consistently prepare for every scenario, recognising that no assessment, aptitude test, or interview is ever guaranteed to be straightforward. Success comes from understanding what’s being assessed and adapting to whatever the day brings. In just the same way, cadetship and flight school selection demands thorough preparation to navigate the challenges ahead. Coaching and preparation from Flight School Wingman is designed to sharpen your skills – not to provide shortcuts – ensuring you perform at your best throughout the selection process.
Did you know… many of the applicants who come to us do so after an unsuccessful cadetship or flight school application elsewhere. With so much riding on selection – whether it’s a sponsored place, a scholarship, or the training you’ll fund yourself – preparing properly for this first crucial hurdle is one of the smartest investments you can make. Make sure you give yourself the best possible chance.
Can you help with my pilot Group Exercise?
Group exercises – should you just focus on being agreeable? Is staying neutral the best approach, or should you step up as a leader? What about completing the task or making decisions? These exercises are intentionally designed to push you beyond your comfort zone and mimic scenarios where teamwork and adaptability are tested in unfamiliar environments. They allow assessors to observe how well you function under these conditions, offering valuable insights into your collaboration and problem-solving skills. Our online Academy courses or Airline Assessment Preparation Courses in person will train you in the techniques to excel at this stage of your pilot recruitment journey.
Why should I use Flight Deck Wingman?
Because for over 10 years we’ve done one thing: help pilots and future pilots land their dream job. In that time we’ve supported more than 4500 pilots through their applications, assessments and interviews – for airlines all over the world.
What sets us apart is that every part of your preparation is human-led. You’ll work one-to-one with real airline pilots – never AI, never an automated script. We care deeply about every pilot who trusts us with their prep, and we think it shows in the reviews they leave us.
Our techniques are deliberately simple to use and highly effective, and they work for any airline application or pilot assessment, anywhere in the world. Whatever stage you’re facing, we’ll help you walk in ready.
