Shine at your simulator assessment during pilot selections

Dear pilots,

Sim assessments are unlike any other exercise.

They're not like an MCC event where automatics are very much present, they're not like a Type Rating session an LPC or OPC where you get 4h in the sim and training input.

So, what are they all about?

Typically, you'll have no FD, no AP, sometimes no ATHR, and almost always, no MAP. 

This means you're taking off with just your artificial horizon and a pitch indicator, and no FMA.

If the last time you were in the sim was during MCC, you're up for a surprise 😬.

ATOs rarely train you further after you complete your MCC. You've got your licence now and their work is done.

You're going to have to take matters in your own hands with what we call "Gap Training", the missing link between ATO and airline employment.

It involves what is taught in Advanced Interview Course Version 2, but also learning practical techniques to fly a medium jet with reduced instrumentation and operational knowledge allowing you to adjust your approach adequately. After learning these, you should organize one or several practice sessions until you reach the desired proficiency. And then, guess what... chances are you'll pass 😃

Our Sim Preparation Course is designed to give you the missing link and the skills you need to shine in the sim, such as:


  • Handling a medium jet using the 5 key pitch settings technique
  • Initiating climbs and descents and achieving precise pitch induced rate targets
  • Managing your energy, knowing when you're high and what to do about it
  • Being aware of the stabilization criteria and reacting adequately in case things start to go the wrong way
  • Knowing the difference between a Go-Around and a Discontinued approach and understanding the Safety Window Concept
  • Orientating yourself with strategies that work so you can get back on the ILS with limited instrumentation and without radar assistance
  • Learning adequate behaviours and working with any sim partnerAnd much, much more...


Sim Preparation Course is a deep 12 module course that will change the way you prepare for your assessment. It will make you comfortable and help you work the areas that matter.

You will then make the best of you real session but also of any practice session and won't waste your money by coming unprepared.

Our techniques have been elaborated by Major Airline TREs that have a significant amount of teaching experience and of working the needles in teal life.

These techniques will work at any sim preparation center for any airline with any provider and produce fantastic results for any sim assessment with any airline.



What's more, Sim Preparation Course is very well priced and you can access it both online and on our iOS or iPad OS app, both online and offline.

It be purchased standalone, or as part of a package such as the Gold Package at a significant saving.
