airline aptitude tests for newly qualified pilots
Hi ppl, i have a question and would appreciate any advise/comments:
There's a lot of useful info on here regarding pilot selection aptitute tests (e.g. hand-eye coordination tests, numerical & verbal reasoning, spacial awareness etc.);
but i can't work out if these tests are used for screening zero hours prospective pilots (seeking sponsorship) or used for low hours CPL/IR/MCC qualified pilots or used for both? perhaps they are used for qualified CPL pilots seeking type rating sponsorship/training?
I am aiming to finish my CPL (modular) by spring next year and want to prepare as much as i can for the type of tests i am likely to encounter when applying for a first airline position.
Although i have a degree in aerospace engineering i am absolutely useless at these tests and want to do my best by being well prepared. I am hoping that for a newly qualified CPL/IR pilot the airline assessment only consists of an interview (technical and personality) together with a sim check? (i.e. no ''aptitude'' test ..... or is this just wishful thinking)
Thanks
