Key Features
Examine the particular features of our software that will aid in helping you to prepare for Group Exercises as part of a pilot assessment:
Interactive Scenario Practice
Experience realistic group tasks through our immersive simulator, designed to mirror real group exercise assessments.
Engage with our Group Exercise Simulator featuring 50+ Scenarios across seven categories, from Survival Ranking and Resource Allocation to High Pressure Aviation and Ethical Dilemmas, each comprising 10-12 decision points where you choose how to respond within a group discussion.

Navigate conversations with virtual candidates, each with distinct personalities and attitudes, including supportive collaborators, dominant personalities, quiet contributors and challenging participants.
Immersive Simulator Environment

Two View Modes for Authentic Preparation
Experience group tasks through two distinct view modes: the Table Scene, a 3D conference room environment with virtual candidates seated around a table providing an immersive visual experience, and the Chat View, a text-based interface for reading and responding to contributions. Switch seamlessly between both views during a scenario to suit your preference.

Modelled on Real Assessments
Scenarios incorporate elements of real assessment methodology used at flying schools and airlines, including realistic briefing notes providing scenario context, assessor interjections introducing sudden changes and new information mid-exercise, and real-time countdown timers mirroring actual assessment conditions, providing an authentic preparation experience.
Competency-Based Feedback

Understand Your Strengths and Weaknesses
Receive immediate feedback on four key competencies assessed during group exercises: Communication, Leadership, Teamwork and Problem-Solving, aligned to real airline competency frameworks including NOTECHS. Understand your strengths and areas for development with scores and behavioural insights after each attempt.

Track Your Progress Across Attempts
Review your performance across multiple attempts for each scenario, tracking your progress over time and identifying patterns in your competency development. Compare scores across different scenario categories and difficulty levels to gain a comprehensive understanding of your readiness for a group exercise assessment.
Tailored E-Learning Content

Structured Learning for Your Experience Level
Progress through tailored e-learning modules designed specifically for your experience level, with dedicated Fundamentals and Strategies content for both aspiring pilots new to aviation and experienced pilots seeking command upgrades or airline transitions. Each module provides a structured learning path grounded in published CRM and assessment research.

Knowledge Checks with Gated Progression
Reinforce your understanding with Knowledge Checks placed after each section, featuring five questions that test comprehension and ensure you can apply the techniques effectively. Subsequent sections remain locked until each Knowledge Check is passed, ensuring a thorough understanding of the material before advancing.
