Simulator Assessment
Expectations
Many pilots approach airline simulator assessments with the belief that success hinges solely on technical flying ability. While strong handling skills remain essential, airline assessors are focused on something far more comprehensive: your capacity to manage complex situations, communicate effectively, and integrate seamlessly into a multi‑crew environment. These behaviours are driven by competencies, making it essential to measure, understand, develop, and demonstrate these competencies with confidence.
This is exactly where InfinityACT becomes invaluable. As a research‑driven, evidence‑based competency framework, it enables our expert coaches to assess and identify the key competencies that will drive your assessment performance and thus tailor your preparation with a depth of insight that traditional sim‑prep alone cannot deliver.
Bespoke Simulator Preparation Coaching
Focused on You
Powered by InfinityACT, our exclusive competency based methodology built on more than 17 years of rigorous research, enabling us to deliver a level of simulator preparation that goes far beyond the industry standard.
Every candidate receives a fully personalised competency report before they even arrive for their sim prep. This report, unique to Infinity Sim Wings, forms the backbone of our coaching approach. It gives our expert coaches deep insight into your behavioural strengths and development areas, allowing them to shape every element of your session around you.
But while our advanced methodology is transformative, our training still remains firmly rooted in the fundamentals that airlines still expect pilots to master. We excel at the traditional sim prep essentials:
- Aircraft handling and raw‑data flying
- Manual flight path management
- Takeoff, go‑around, and engine‑out profiles
- Decision‑making models and threat‑error management
- Workload management and prioritisation under pressure
- Effective Crew Resource Management
These core skills are integrated directly into your competency‑based coaching plan. During your simulator session, we work on the competencies that matter most, those identified in your report. While simultaneously sharpening the classic handling and procedural skills that airline assessors are looking for. Nothing is generic. Every exercise, every brief, every coaching moment is intentionally designed to elevate your performance in a real airline assessment.
After your sim prep session, you’ll receive clear, structured feedback outlining what went well and which competency areas to continue strengthening, supported by practical, personalised exercises. And because true preparation extends beyond the simulator, we provide ongoing support right up to your assessment day, ensuring you walk in confident, prepared, and performing at your best.
Our Modular Approach
Built around You
Infinity Pilot’s interview and simulator preparation program offers a modular, targeted approach to readiness for airline selection processes. The course is divided into two distinct components—each designed to address specific areas of assessment. Participants may choose to complete either module independently or combine both for a comprehensive preparation experience.
Whether you’re focusing on technical simulator performance or refining your interview and CRM skills, this flexible structure allows you to tailor your training to your individual goals and timeline—ensuring maximum impact and confidence on assessment day. Delivered on our training-grade A320 simulator, the program offers a seamless transition into airline recruitment environments. Whether you’re an experienced airline pilot changing roles, transitioning from military service, or newly graduated from flight school, Infinity Sim Wings is here to support you.

Simulator Preparation Structure
skills & knowledge
A320 Simulator
Preparation
- Technical Skills
- Flight Deck Familiarity
- Handling
- Flight Deck Management
Depending on your experience level the simulator assessment will focus on:
- Basic Flying Skills - Cadet & Low Honoured Pilot
- Technical Proficiency - Type Rated
- General Handling Skills - Non-Type Rated
- Technical Expertise - Captain Type Rated
- Adaptability - Captain Non-Type Rated
For your simulator assessment you will need to familiarise yourself with the Airbus A320 cockpit layout (including how to display the radio navigation information), primary flight controls and the radio navigation MCDU page.
There are an abundance of online resources to aid you in becoming familiar with the A320, but unsurprisingly, the best way is to use a full scale Airbus A320 simulator.
It is also important you are aware of the fly-by-wire characteristics if you've flown conventional jets.
You will need fundamental knowledge of how pitch and power work together to control the aircraft's altitude, speed, and overall flight path.
Pitch and power settings for the aircraft are readily available online and should be memorised. This knowledge ensures the aircraft remains stable and under control during diffrent flight phases, such as climb, cruise and descent.
Important handling features of the Airbus A320:
- Due to the fly-by-wire nature there is no mechanical connection between the side stick and flight controls.
- There is no coupling between pitch and power, significant nose up altitude will require significant side stick deflection.
- Trim is automatically below bank angle of 33 degrees.
- Returning the side stick to the neutral position after commanding a roll or pitch rate will result in the attitude holding.
- The thrust levers are gated from IDLE to CLB (climb). FLX/MCT, and TOGA.
- The side stick and thrust lever are sensitive, so avoid making large inputs ( when the thrust lever is between IDLE and CLB it is in a 'manual' range, where only a relatively small hand movement is required to go between IDLE and CLB),
To adequetely prepare, you will need to be competent in:
- Energy management
- Autopilot modes
- Types of approaches
- Raw data ILS
- Holding / turning around a NAVAID

Preparation
Tips
In order to best prepare you for the day, you need to know you have done everything possible to get the job. This preparation can look like:
- Talking to others who have been through the process
- Watching videos or consuming other dedicated resources to help you prepare
- Reviewing manuals, SOP’s, charts, etc..
- Practice flying manually, this can done through flight simulators, or simply at home practicing flight profiles in your head
- Practicing briefings
However, the best way you can prepare is in a simulator and environment that replicates your assessment.
