Excellence in Pilot Selection

EAQC - a brand of interpersonal III

For over 20 years, EAQC has been your reliable partner for professional pilot selection in Germany. With a team of more than 100 experienced assessors and staff, we guarantee tailored solutions fully aligned with the EASA AMC. 1 CAT. GEN. MPA. 175(b) requirements.

The regulations in EASA AMC.1.CAT.GEN.MPA.175 (b) define the requirements for the selection process for pilots who are to work for a complex operator. But even non-complex operators have to follow these regulations. According to the definition of the regulations in EASA AMC.1.CAT.GEN.MPA.175 (b), a complex operator is a flight company that employs more than 20 FTE pilots.
But what do the regulations say in detail? As the person responsible in your flight operations, what do you have to do in order to recruit pilots in accordance with the rules?
The air operator is obliged to carry out an aviation-psychological assessment within the scope of the selection process at least 24 months before the start of the pilot's line-flying. This aviation-psychological assessment, which we call Corporate Qualification, must examine the following areas:

  • Cognitive Abilities

  • Professional and Operational Competencies

  • Personality Traits

  • Social Competencies according to CRM principles

The "cognitive abilities", i.e. the pilot's mental abilities, are checked as part of the basic qualification. The "Professional and Operational Competencies", the flying skills and abilities are part of the simulator screening. The "Personality Traits" and "Social Compentencies" are carried out as part of the psychological assessment. At interpersonal, this step is called Corporate Qualification. Due to these requirements, a three-stage selection process - as recommended by IATA - is the optimal process to meet the needs of your aviation company in a targeted manner. Our team of competent and experienced assessors and aviation psychologists are ready to work with you to define the optimal, flexible, fast and economical process for your pilot selection.

EAQC is an industry leader in pilot selection, working exclusively with cutting-edge technology and experienced professionals. Our philosophy is based on precision, professionalism, and close collaboration with our partners. We understand the high demands of the aviation industry and are committed to not only meeting but exceeding your expectations.
