My Wingman
Lifting aviation professionals to the next level
The Human Behind the Flight Deck
Modern aviation demands more than technical skill. Today, airlines and flight schools recognise that communication, stress tolerance, decision-making, situational awareness, and personality fit are just as critical as flying ability.
These competencies are no longer optional - they are formally assessed:
-
during entry into flight school
-
throughout flight school/university training (including KSA100)
-
during airline training and line progression
-
in airline selection processes, simulator evaluations, and upgrade pathways
Moreover, under EASA Regulation (EU) 2021/1963, every pilot must complete a psychological assessment before beginning line flying. Human performance and psychological safety are now essential across all roles - from cadets and flight crew to cabin crew, maintenance, and operations.

Aleksandra Kapela
I am an independent aviation psychologist with over a decade of experience in pilot assessment, human factors, and psychological well-being, supporting both individuals and organisations across the global aviation industry.
I’ve worked with flight schools, private operators, and airlines across Europe and internationally - helping shape safer, smarter ways to select, train, and support aviation professionals.
Beyond assessments, I care deeply about well-being in aviation -Â offering support to help companies and aviation personnel manage stress, build resilience, and maintain mental health in a demanding, high-responsibility environment.
I’m also a lecturer and speaker at international aviation conferences and a passionate advocate for integrating psychology into flight operations, training, and leadership. I contribute to industry knowledge by developing educational content, publishing articles, and writing on how human behaviour shapes aviation safety and performance.
