ADAPT Pilot Assessment & Selection
ADAPT is the world’s leading pilot assessment programme for selecting pilots with the right physical and mental abilities. It is the most conclusive, predictive and effective pilot selection tool on the market.
Currently used widely in aviation the ADAPT process is easily transferrable to other areas such as the medical sector, management or education.
It is currently used globally by international airlines and training academies looking to discover and acquire the best pilots. They need to predict the trainability of flight crew, their operational effectiveness and how they will fit into the organisation. ADAPT delivers airline selection, airline testing and much more.
What makes ADAPT unique is the way it skilfully blends aviation and performance psychology with psychometrics and simulation. The result is a complete understanding of a candidate in terms of skill, personality and situation.
For the Armed Services, ADAPT helps with:
- Streaming for aircraft type (Rotary Wing, Fixed wing etc)
- Operational roles (Apache, Lynx, Typhoon)
- Operational environments (Search & Rescue, Transport & Attack)
For the Commercial sector, ADAPT helps with:
- Experience evaluation (Ab-Initio, Entry-Level First Officer, Captain etc)
- Aviation Courses (CPL, MPL, ATP, ATPL)
- Rating Conversions
