DLR FQ/FU/GQ for Ready Entry
DLR FQ (Firmenqualifikation), also called FU or GQ, is generally the second stage after the DLR BU in Ready Entry pilot selection. It is usually conducted on site at DLR in Hamburg, although the location, timetable and exact content may change. Depending on the airline, the assessment can run over two days and include a psychological interview, group game, discussion or debate, and reflection tasks; a bridge-loading test (DCT) and simulator flight may also form part of the process. It is used by Discover Airlines, Lufthansa City Airlines and Platoon Aviation. Easyflight Training offers psychological coaching, a pilot personality test and self-study guidance for this stage.
