What is a pilot test?
A pilot test helps to assess a candidate's suitability for this demanding profession. It focuses on the core competencies and skills required to pilot an aircraft with appropriate attention to safety and procedure.
Through a series of multiple-choice questions, candidates are measured on various aspects of cognitive ability including numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, spatial awareness and logical reasoning, as well as mechanical aptitude, memory recall, and their ability to work under pressure.
A high score on the pilot test shows an individual is able to apply essential skills to the required standard, and so may be considered a strong candidate to progress to the next stage of recruitment.

About the Pilot Test
The role of a pilot comes with a high level of responsibility, and it’s vital that responsibility is left only in the most capable hands. It’s also a highly sought after position, and high-volume applications add extra weight to the recruitment process.
Neuroworx’s pilot test brings efficiency to selection, giving you an effective method of quickly identifying top talent, and eliminating those without the fundamental skills required.
Why should you use a pilot test for recruiting?
As an employer in the aviation industry, you need to ensure that anyone working for your organisation has the capacity to do so with the greatest attention to care and detail – no one more so than your pilots.
While flight experience and simulation exams cover the practical side of an applicant’s skill set, they give little indication of essential soft skills like problem-solving, decision-making and communication.
Neuroworx’s pilot test measures a candidate’s abilities in these job critical areas through a combination of verbal and non-verbal multiple choice questions. Since the assessment is timed, it also gives evidence of their ability to apply these skills under pressure. No prior knowledge is required to complete the test; it focuses solely on natural aptitude.
Results are compiled into a detailed report, giving you objective and comparable data on your applicant pool. This allows you to shortlist the best candidates for progression with confidence.
Neuroworx’s pilot test is reliable, cost-effective and efficient, and will help to ensure that each new hire has what it takes to pilot an aircraft to the highest possible standard.

How our test assesses pilot skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. leadership), aptitude (e.g. mechanical reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. detail orientation). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a pilot were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our pilot test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
