Applications are submitted through AAA’s current application channel. Following document and eligibility screening, suitable applicants are invited to the on-site Basic Qualification Test. Invitation and intake timelines depend on available course places.

The Basic Qualification Test is held on-site at AAA and is usually completed in one day. It includes AON-based aptitude-test formats and the Adept-15 AON personality questionnaire; an interview can occasionally take place on a second day. Prepare for timed cognitive tasks, honest and consistent personality responses, and clear self-presentation in the interview.

Most pilot roles are Abu Dhabi-based. Applicants should generally expect to live in, or relocate to, the UAE rather than use a formal rostered commuting arrangement.

Apply online through EFA with the required eligibility information and documents. Following an initial review, eligible candidates are invited to the selection stages; invitation and scheduling times depend on application volume and the chosen programme. A valid Class 1 medical certificate is required before training begins.

Selection begins with the DLR Certificate Cockpit screening at DLR locations in Milan, Hamburg or Zurich and can be taken in German or English. Successful candidates then attend the one-day Lufthansa Group Assessment at Interpersonal in Hamburg or the SWISS Flight Crew Assessment Center in Zurich. It includes psychological exercises, interview and group elements, plus psychomotor testing. Hamburg may include MOZARD and the Multitasking Color Tank Test; Zurich uses the Gubsomat apparatus test. SPHAIR is a separate Swiss DLR screening pathway for commercial, jet and helicopter pilot applicants.

For the Condor Ab-Initio Program, applicants submit their documents to Condor and may be invited to the IP-BQ. Passing the IP-BQ does not automatically lead to an IP-CQ invitation: Condor also considers whether the result is above average and reviews the overall application documents. Allow sufficient time for document review and assessment invitations.

For CAP, the IP-BQ Ab-Initio takes place at Interpersonal in Hamburg. Candidates should expect computer-based aptitude tasks requiring numerical, logical and spatial reasoning, memory, concentration, multitasking and psychomotor coordination. Strong performance matters: a pass alone may not be sufficient for progression, as Condor also assesses the overall application before inviting candidates to IP-CQ.
