The test section features 3 different levels (easy, medium and hard). Each level will have a 20 random, time-limited questions. At the end of the test, a score will be calculated to show each individual how many correct and wrong answers they got.

 

 
Numerical (Math Test):

This basic test in applied mathematics screens your understanding of the basics: multiplication, division, subtraction as well as speed, distance and time calculations. By taking this test, you can assess your mathematical skills according to the very same standards used in the industry and be thoroughly prepared when applying for a job in aviation.

The math test features a practice section with over 100 questions, each with a detailed explanation of the answer. The test section itself consists of 24 random, time-limited questions with answers.

 
Personality Test

It is almost impossible to prepare for such tests. Best way to answer these questions is to BE YOURSELF and BE HONEST!

Before you answer a personality questionnaire, find out about the organization and decide whether you like its culture and it’s the kind of place you will thrive in. If it is, then apply confident in that knowledge, take time over each question and answer it in a way that shows you as the ideal candidate for the role and company.

(4) 50 ATPL Questions

ATPL Questions

During your assessment you will get 50 ATPL questions. These questions are very similar to JAA/EASA question bank. Few examples below:

If a pitot source is blocked in an ASI, and the drain hole is blocked, but the static source is open, what will happen?
Answer: ASI behaves like an altimeter

The error in altimeter readings caused by the variation of the static pressure near the source is known as:
Answer: position pressure error

90 knots is equal to how many km/hr
Answer: 166 Km/hr

An aircraft departs point A at an altitude of 1500m with the QNH set at 1010mb. It arrives over point B where the QNH is 990mb, and there is an obstacle 1000m high. Assuming 8m/mb what will be the obstacle clearance over B?
Answer: 340m (Click on the figure for solution).

550 ATPL questions with answers and explanations

 

Additional Study Guide For ATPL!

(5) Simulator Assessment

Simulator Assessment

The sim assessment varies from day to day, so we will post one of the sim assessment that recently occurred. The sim ride will most likely be an Boeing 787, or sometimes A320. Straight out departure, sometimes the instructor will let you do some general handling, such as steep turn, climb, descent so you get a feel of the airplane. But most of the time they will immediate vector you for an ILS to land. You will be lined up for take off again, and this time you might get an engine failure before V1.
