Pilot Assessment
Pilot Assessment
Course Description
• Situation: An airline customer needs an assessment by Lufthansa Aviation Training of preselected licensed pilots (on staff or not
on staff) in terms of their suitability for a certain function in the cockpit. (Requests from private individuals cannot be processed.)
• Depending on the function in the cockpit, three product types are offered:
- Type 1: Pilot assessment for new hires (for F/O, PIC)
- Type 2: Pilot assessment for command upgrades (for F/O)
- Type 3: Pilot assessment for new trainers (for F/O, PIC)
• The pilot assessment is carried out in one day at a Lufthansa Aviation Training Center and is conducted by a licensed instructor of Lufthansa
Aviation Training.
• The pilot assessment is usually comprised of three modules:
- Personal impression
- Theoretical test
- Practical test in the full-flight simulator
• The specific structure of the assessment depends on the product type and on the experience of the candidates, and it can be
adapted to the customer’s individual needs.
List of Aircraft Types: Airbus | A310/A300-600 | A320 | A330 | A340 | A380 || Boeing | 737 300-900 | 747 400/-8 |
757/767 | 777 | MD11 || Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 | CRJ 200 | CRJ 700/900
Course Goal
The objective of the pilot assessment is an independent evaluation of the preselected licensed pilots of an airline (on staff or not on staff)
in terms of their suitability for a certain function in the cockpit using a specially developed assessment system, including a corresponding
recommendation to the airline customer.

Training Topics
Module 1: Personal impression
• The candidates are examined regarding their personal attitude and motivation for the respective function in the cockpit.
Module 2: Theoretical test
• The candidates are examined to determine their general aviation knowledge and specific knowledge in line with their type rating (paper and
pencil test).
Module 3: Practical test in the full-flight simulator (FFS)
• The candidates are tested in terms of their practical skills in a full-flight simulator in line with their type rating (valid or expired).
• The FFS test lasts at least one hour for each candidate.
• The FFS test starts with a one-hour briefing and a detailed follow-up briefing by the instructor.
Prerequisites
• Sufficient knowledge of verbal and written English (ICAO level 4 or higher)
• Valid CPL with successful completion of the ATPL theoretical test or a valid ATPL
• Valid multiengine IFR rating
• Valid or expired type rating
• Valid medical certificate of fitness, class 1
Training Documents
• Before the pilot assessment, the candidate receives a pre-briefing package with all of the necessary information to prepare for the assessment.
• Following the assessment, the airline customer receives a comprehensive summary of the results of the modules tested for each candidate and a
recommendation by Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT).
Benefits
• Flexible modification of content and scope of the pilot assessment
• Independent recommendation by expert assessor-instructors
• High reliability of the Lufthansa Aviation Training simulators
