Simulator Assessment Preparation
OVERVIEW
Do you have a simulator assessment coming up? You could dramatically improve your chances of getting the job by investing in a one-to-one Simulator Assessment Preparation session in an Airbus or Boeing flight simulator at Heathrow, Gatwick, Southampton or Palma de Mallorca.
Boost your chance of success.
Over 90% of the pilots who prepare with Virtual Aviation go on to pass their simulator assessment. This compares very favourably to the industry average pass rate of 20%-50%.
Practice without pressure.
Nerves are the most common reason why pilots make mistakes in simulator assessments. A Simulator Assessment Preparation session is the perfect opportunity to practice the airline’s assesment profile, improve your skills, build your confidence and eliminate nerves. Remember, it’s our job to assist you, not test you. Go into your assessment feeling relaxed, confident and fully-prepared.
Expert guidance.
Our team of highly experienced instructors will guide you through the profile, and help you to maximise your performance. You can practice without the pressure of examiner scrutiny, in the knowledge that advice will be given in a positive & constructive manner.
A choice of locations.
We offer Simulator Assessment Preparation at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Southampton and Palma de Mallorca – using a wide range of Airbus & Boeing full flight simulators. For more information please see the Locations & Simulators page.
Lots of dates to choose from.
We run over 200 simulator sessions each month, and you may find a suitable date in our online schedules. However, we appreciate that your assessment might come at short notice. That’s no problem, as we can book an extra date specially for you. Please contact us to check simulator availability.
A wide choice of aircraft types.
Practice on the same type of simulator that your assessment will be conducted on. Don’t settle for an alternative type or a generic device; maximise you chances of success by getting comfortable in the right simulator in the correct configuration. For more information, please see the Locations & Simulators page.
I've just got one thing to tell you... I got the job! The simulator prep was worth every penny
Andrew BThe importance of preparation.
As a pilot, you’ll understand the importance of preparation throughout your flying career. The final hurdle before getting that all-important airline job is the interview and simulator assessment. Why risk jeopardising all that hard work by failing to prepare for the assessment?
Inside information.
With so many airlines, each with their own assessment profiles, it can be tough to prepare in the right way. We maintain detailed, up-to-date information on individual airline assessment profiles – so you can be assured that the session you book will be tailored to meet your requirements.
Unrivalled simulator access.
We work with all the major simulator centres, operating over forty Airbus & Boeing simulators, thereby giving you access to the largest full-flight simulator fleet in Europe. That means we can offer you the widest choice of locations, aircraft types, dates and times - giving you ultimate flexibility.
Jet handling practice.
In addition to flying the profile we can help you practice some of the procedures you’re likely to face in your assessment. You can fly raw data, NDB and ILS approaches, practice single-engine work and deal with emergencies as the profile dictates.
