Theoretical Module

1. Understanding the Airline Assessment Environment – Introduction to the competitive nature of airline selection, its structure, requirements, and the importance of targeted preparation.
2. Phases of the Selection Process – Step-by-step analysis from application submission to final simulator assessment, including waiting periods, key decision points, and common pitfalls.
3. Focused Theoretical Review – Revision of core knowledge areas evaluated during assessments: IFR radiotelephony, ATPL theory, aircraft systems, general and aviation English, mental math, airline-specific knowledge, and behavioral competencies (personal presentation, communication, situational response).
4. Simulator Check Structure – Overview of assessment profiles, airport environments, typical errors, and evaluation criteria; identifying elements that can be improved through preparation.
5. SOPs, CRM, and Multi-Crew Operations – Theory of PF/PM roles, communication standards, adherence to SOPs, correct use of callouts, and CRM-based assessment competencies.
6. Evaluation Systems and Criteria – Understanding how candidates are assessed: knowledge, procedural compliance, communication, teamwork, decision-making, workload management, and flight accuracy.
7. A320 Cockpit Familiarization – Overview of cockpit layout, preflight preparation, use of main controls (FCU, sidestick, throttles), and working with Jeppesen documentation in a realistic simulator environment.

Practical Module

1. Simulator Entry and Cockpit Setup – Familiarization with A320 cockpit layout, seat and control adjustment, and setup of panels (RAD NAV, FCU, overhead).
2. Use of Controls and Documentation – Handling of flight controls (sidestick, thrust levers, flight directors), use of SOPs, checklists, and Jeppesen charts; airport orientation, SID/STAR interpretation, frequencies, and flight phase awareness.
3. Communication and CRM Practice – Exercise of PF and PM communication roles, CRM application, task sharing, workload management, and coordination with ATC and cabin crew.
4. Key Flight Exercise Practice – Execution of typical assessment maneuvers: no-FD takeoff, radial intercept, holding patterns, airwork, instrument approaches (ILS, VOR DME, LOC DME), and go-arounds.
5. Integrated Scenario – Combined flight exercise including SID, holding, STAR, and ILS approach with emphasis on situational awareness, smooth handling, and parameter management.
6. Debriefing and Feedback – Structured performance review, identification of strengths and areas for improvement, and personalized recommendations for further training.
