My Wingman
Lifting aviation professionals to the next level
The Human Behind the Flight Deck
In todayâs aviation landscape, being a great pilot means more than technical skills. Airlines and flight schools now understand that personality, communication, stress tolerance, and decision-making can be just as critical as flying ability.
These competencies are no longer ânice to haveââthey are essential and assessed:
-
during entry to flight school,
-
throughout ATPL training (such as KSA100),
-
and in airline interviews, sim assessments, and upgrades.
Whatâs more, under EASA Regulation (EU) 2021/1963, it is now mandatory for all pilots to undergo a psychological assessment before beginning line flying. That means psychological readiness is a formal requirementâfor both cadets and experienced flight crew.
And increasingly, we see these same principles being extended to other aviation rolesâcabin crew, maintenance staff, and operational personnelâwhere human performance and psychological safety matter just as much.
