SELECTION PROCESS

We review all online applications and subject to you meeting our entry criteria, you will be invited to complete our initial web based selection process. This is a series of online psychometric, numeracy and aptitude assessments.

We use the AON assessment tool to help determine whether or not you have the core competencies needed to successfully commence the course. The next stage of the selection process will be to attend an online assessment with Skyborne. This includes a series of non-technical activities and an interview. During your training with Skyborne, we help you develop those core skills, knowledge and attitude to become an effective commercial pilot.

Unlike most flight training organisations, we do not charge for selection.

Advanced UPRT provides pilots with the skills to identify, prevent, and recover from unexpected aircraft upsets. The course combines theoretical instruction with practical flight training, focusing on understanding how to cope with the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic upsets in aeroplanes and to develop the necessary competence and resilience to be able to apply appropriate recovery techniques during upsets. Advanced UPRT concentrates on the differences between upset recovery in a small light aeroplane and the techniques used when flying a jet transport aircraft.

PHASE 5 – APS MCC - uk

This final phase will see you complete 40-hours of enhanced multi-crew training to airline pilot standards (APS MCC) on either our Boeing 737 MAX simulator or Airbus A320 simulator.

You will spend the first week in ground school, learning about air law, airline operations, multi-crew procedures, plus technical training. Once this part is complete you will spend the remaining 2 weeks in the simulator, progressively developing jet handling techniques and multi-crew skills. This ensures you will be fully prepared to commence type rating and line training with the airline.
