AonAptitude

Aon pilot assessment practice

Airline selections run the cut-e modules that cannot be prepared for by reading: dials to monitor, tasks to juggle, an aircraft to steer. Practise them as interfaces, not as PDFs — because that is how they are served.

Free to start. Every item is generated fresh, marked with a full worked solution, and ranked on a 1–9 stanine band that recalibrates as more candidates practise.

Who uses what — candidate reports, airline by airline

The mappings below reflect what candidates publicly report, pathway by pathway. They change between campaigns: your invitation email is the only authoritative list.

easyJet

cut-e (Aon) style

Online battery frequently reported for cadet and rated pathways: divided attention, numerical, personality questionnaire.

Ryanair

cut-e (Aon) style

Online aptitude screening reported via approved training partners, followed by interview and a simulator assessment.

Wizz Air

cut-e (Aon) style

Online tests reported for cadet programmes and direct entry: multitasking, numerical, spatial.

Vueling

cut-e (Aon) style

cut-e style online battery reported at pre-selection, before the in-person stages.

British Airways

cut-e (Aon) style

Online aptitude tests reported for the Speedbird Pilot Academy and pilot recruitment.

Aer Lingus

cut-e (Aon) style

Online tests reported for cadet programmes — attention and numerical formats.

Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian)

DLR selection

Cadet selection through the DLR process — its own battery. Divided-attention, mental-arithmetic and spatial training transfers directly.

Air France

in-house process

Selection through the airline's own psychotechnic tests. The exercise families — attention, multitasking, numeracy — train with the same reflexes.

Gulf carriers (Emirates, Qatar Airways…)

online batteries

Online aptitude assessments reported depending on the pathway, including COMPASS-style screening on some cadet routes.

What it measures

What Aon Pilot Assessment is actually testing

Pilot batteries measure capacity under divided attention: can you keep a count while dials drift, hold three tasks at once without one collapsing, react only to true matches, keep your bearings when the reference frame rotates, and fly a clean line while the speed climbs. None of that is knowledge. All of it trains, and the training only transfers when it happens in the same kind of interface.

The format

How the real assessment runs

Monitoring
Objects drift inside an instrument; you keep the count while the field refuses to hold still. One pace, no speed setting — the real test does not ask.
Multitasking
Arithmetic, pattern-spotting and hazard evasion run on the same clock. The hazards never pause for the other two tasks.
Reaction and spatial
Respond only to genuine matches — false alarms cost — and read headings from an instrument whose frame is not yours.
Flight challenge
A full-screen tube run at capped frame rate, gates to thread, speed that climbs on its own. Crashing resets the speed, not the clock.

Where marks are lost

The trap that costs the most marks

Arriving interface-blind. Candidates with strong raw aptitude lose to weaker candidates who have simply held these interfaces before: the first minutes of a monitoring or multitasking module go to discovering the controls, and those minutes are scored like all the others. Familiarity is the cheapest points you will ever buy.

Why practise here

What this practice gives you

01

All five flight-deck style modules built as live interfaces — monitoring, multitasking, reaction speed, spatial orientation, flight challenge

02

A stanine rank per module so you can see which one drags the battery down before an airline sees it

03

Timing, pacing and frame caps set to match how the real modules feel, not a slideshow about them

04

Unlimited runs — the modules generate fresh, so practice never runs out

05

Two exercises free to judge the fidelity before paying anything

With Persona Prep Pro

Everything you need to walk in ready

One subscription covers the whole assessment library, not just this exercise — because almost nobody is invited to sit only one module.

The full aptitude library

SHL Verify, Aon cut-e, Hogan and Saville formats — numerical, verbal, inductive, deductive, mechanical, checking and the interactive modules.

A rank, not just a score

Every run is placed on a 1–9 stanine band that recalibrates as the candidate pool grows, so you know your position.

A course per exercise

What it measures, the trap that costs marks, and worked items from every format — then the exercise itself.

Unlimited fresh items

Everything is generated, so you never run out and never memorise a bank.

Written + voice AI coach

Reads your results across exercises and tells you which two to fix first.

Personality practice too

SHL OPQ32, Hogan HPI/HDS/MVPI, Saville Wave, ADEPT-15 and 16PF, with full profile reports.

Aon Pilot Assessmentfrequently asked questions

Which cut-e modules do airlines actually use for pilot selection?

Airline batteries centre on the interactive modules: monitoring (keeping a count while objects drift), multitasking (arithmetic, pattern and hazard evasion on one clock), reaction speed, spatial orientation, and a flight-style tracking task. Numerical and deductive modules are often added for airline-specific screening stages.

Can you actually prepare for a pilot aptitude test?

The reasoning content trains modestly, but the interface familiarity trains enormously: the first minutes of a monitoring or multitasking module normally go to discovering the controls, and those minutes are scored like all the others. Practising the same kind of interface moves real points, which is why airline candidates prepare these batteries seriously.

Is this Aon's own pilot assessment platform?

No. Persona Prep is an independent practice platform with no connection to Aon. We rebuild the module formats — the interfaces, the pacing, the scoring logic — from scratch, so you can rehearse the demands without anyone reproducing the publisher's own items.

What is a good score on a cut-e pilot test?

Airlines read results as percentiles against their own comparison groups, and thresholds differ by programme, so no universal pass mark exists. Our practice reports a 1–9 stanine band per module against candidates here, which tells you which module would drag your battery down before a selection board sees it.
