04 / FLIGHTDECKQ PREPARATION GUIDANCE
Prepare with purpose.
Prepare concise examples of teamwork and learning from feedback. Refresh numerical reasoning and explain basic flight principles in plain English.
- Confirm the route.
Read the latest airline page. List missing documents and unresolved questions before setting an application date.
- Strengthen the basics.
Practise mental arithmetic, ratios, unit conversions and interpreting graphs. Review basic flight principles and explain the reasoning behind your answers.
- Make experience useful.
Prepare specific examples of teamwork, responsibility and learning from mistakes. Describe your actions and what you would improve.
- Follow the assessment invitation.
Use the provider’s authorised familiarisation material. Original practice activities help build skills; they do not establish which proprietary tests an airline uses.
SPL and ATPL practice is free for logged-in members. Aircraft-specific products are separate. These question banks are not airline selection-test replicas.
