DLR: Certificate Cockpit for EFA / LHG (Ab-Initio)

DLR Certificate Cockpit is the stage-one ab-initio selection assessment for European Flight Academy and Lufthansa Group pathways. It is held in Milan, Hamburg and Zurich in German or English; Easyflight Training supports both languages.

LHG Assessment (Lufthansa Group)

La LHG Assessment es la segunda fase del proceso de selección de pilotos desde cero para los candidatos de la European Flight Academy y Austrian Airlines. Se lleva a cabo en Interpersonal, en Hamburgo, o en el Centro de Evaluación de Tripulaciones de Vuelo de SWISS, en Zúrich.

Application Process

Applications are submitted online to EFA. After the eligibility review, selected candidates receive an invitation to the DLR Certificate Cockpit. Waiting times depend on application volume, available courses and the selected route. Candidates who pass continue to the Lufthansa Group assessment and must complete the required aeromedical process before training.

Selection Process

The first stage is the DLR Certificate Cockpit aptitude test, offered in German or English at DLR locations in Hamburg, Milan and Zurich. Successful candidates proceed to the one-day Lufthansa Group assessment at Interpersonal in Hamburg or the SWISS Flight Crew Assessment Center in Zurich, usually according to their application route. It includes psychological exercises, group and interview elements, plus psychomotor tasks. Hamburg preparation commonly focuses on MOZARD with a joystick and the Color Tank Test; Zurich uses the Gubsomat apparatus task with a yoke. Separately, SPHAIR is a Swiss DLR-based screening route for commercial airline, Swiss Air Force jet-pilot and helicopter-pilot applications.
