Pilot assessment and simulator rental

Practical assessment in a pilot simulator for recruitment processes.

A320 or B737 MAX Simulator

Basic and advanced simulators in Lisbon or Viseu

The main objective of this practical assessment is to prepare the candidate for a simulator evaluation for the airline recruitment process. In the assessment, the candidate will have the opportunity to demonstrate basic handling skills, instrument flight, procedures, and fault management. They must exhibit both NOTEHs and TEM (threat and error management) throughout the assessment.

The purpose is not to be proficient in the aircraft; it is merely an exercise to evaluate the candidate’s manual flight capabilities, NOTEH and TEM skills, and fault management model.

Simulators in Portugal

Advanced flight simulators

Train with advanced and immersive simulators that offer cutting-edge technology to prepare you from the fundamentals to the real cockpit.

Our Advanced Simulators

A modern training center demands cutting-edge technology. With an Airbus simulator and a Boeing simulator, we create training experiences tailored to your path, from MCC to Type Rating preparation. The quality of training depends directly on the equipment used. Therefore, we invest in high-fidelity simulators that accurately replicate the flight environment, aircraft systems, and dynamic behavior at all stages of operation.

Students have the opportunity to experiment, make mistakes, correct them, and repeat – all with close monitoring from qualified instructors. This translates into greater confidence and superior performance in advanced stages such as type rating or airline selections.

A320

The true Airbus experience, without taking off

The Simnest A320 is a high-fidelity Flight Training Device (FTD) based on the real-world operation of the Airbus A320 family. Equipped with fully functional panels, realistic systems, and authentic fly-by-wire logic, it provides a training experience that closely resembles that of a full flight simulator.

Ideal for APS MCC, Jet Orientation, and targeted preparation for an Airbus type rating.

B737MAX

Real preparation for the next generation Boeing

This Flight Training Device (FTD) accurately replicates the latest generation of the Boeing 737 family: the 737 MAX. Featuring a fully functional cockpit, realistic system logic, and an authentic flight environment, it is an ideal platform for MCC, APS MCC, and focused preparation for airline assessments and selection processes involving Boeing aircraft.

Perfect for pilots seeking in-depth familiarisation with the Boeing 737 MAX prior to a type rating or airline recruitment process.

About the Assessment

Pilot Assessment - Elevate Your Potential with IFA

The place where pilots are prepared to reach new heights, with cutting-edge technology and expert guidance.

Profile Summary

The exercise may be conducted from various airports, as detailed in the Assessment Profile. It typically begins with a manual flight SID (Standard Instrument Departure), although in some cases it may be replaced by a non-standard departure.

The exercises are designed to provide candidates with the opportunity to demonstrate their learning potential and rate of improvement. Particular emphasis is placed on self-assessment skills, the ability to absorb and apply instructions, and the demonstration of a clear and consistent learning curve throughout the assessment.

Assessor's Role

During the assessment, the assessor may be required to perform the duties of both Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Monitoring (PM).

When acting as PF, the assessor should operate the aircraft in a manner that provides the candidate with adequate and realistic opportunities to perform the PM role. When acting as PM, the assessor should act only in accordance with the PF’s instructions and should make no attempt to influence the candidate’s decisions or actions. Standard monitoring callouts relating to speed, altitude, pitch, bank angle, and other relevant flight parameters should be made as appropriate.

When providing instruction from the simulator instructor station, the assessor should endeavour to simulate Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications using standard radiotelephony phraseology. While it is recognised that simulating ATC may be challenging when simultaneously performing Pilot Monitoring duties, maintaining realistic ATC interaction enhances the assessment environment and provides additional value to the candidate.

To facilitate the demonstration of learning ability, adaptability, and responsiveness to instruction, candidates may be given the opportunity to repeat specific elements of the exercise whenever the assessors deem it appropriate.

A Importância da Realidade Virtual (VR) Antes do Treino em Simulador

A utilização de headsets de realidade virtual no treino de pilotos representa um avanço significativo na formação aeronáutica. Antes mesmo de os formandos entrarem num simulador completo, o VR permite-lhes ganhar familiaridade com o cockpit, procedimentos e fluxos operacionais de forma imersiva e altamente realista. Esta abordagem inovadora acelera a curva de aprendizagem, reduz a ansiedade inicial e melhora a confiança do piloto ao entrar no simulador pela primeira vez.

Ao praticar num ambiente virtual, os pilotos podem repetir procedimentos quantas vezes forem necessárias, a um custo muito inferior ao de horas em simulador certificado. Isso traduz-se numa preparação mais eficiente e numa transição mais suave para os treinos em simulador, otimizando o tempo e os recursos durante o curso de type rating.

A integração da realidade virtual no processo formativo é uma novidade que está a redefinir os padrões da indústria – e nós estamos na linha da frente desta transformação.
