Flight Deck Ready, Professional Airline Assessment Preparation
At Flight Deck Ready, our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between flight training and your first airline job — while also supporting experienced pilots looking to take the next step in their careers.
Founded by aviation professionals with real-world airline experience, we understand the challenges both newly qualified and seasoned pilots face when navigating a highly competitive job market. That’s why, for the past five years, we’ve specialised in tailored career support: helping low-hour pilots secure their very first airline roles, and assisting experienced pilots in advancing to new opportunities with leading airlines across the UK and Europe.
Our assessment packages are designed to fully prepare you for your airline simulator check. Each session includes a comprehensive 1-hour pre-flight briefing, where we cover airline-specific profiles, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and assessment criteria. This is followed by 2 full hours of hands-on simulator time, giving you the opportunity to practice typical assessment scenarios, improve your handling skills, and receive real-time feedback from experienced airline pilots.

What our customers say…
We went through civilian procedures, the handling characteristics of the B737 (Pitch/Power couple!) and then a substantial amount of hands on flying. They did an excellent job of brushing the cobwebs aside and when it came to my assessment, not only did I pass and get offered a job, but it made the whole event feel completely normal and less of a baptism of fire.
You will not regret it, and it may be the difference between getting 'an airline job' and the airline job you really want!
Peter Russel l - British Airways
“Great experience, friendly atmosphere. 100% would recommend to anyone!”
Rob Wood - Ryanair
“Chris was amazing. I had a assessment coming up and had never flown 737 and Chris was absolutely outstanding. He put in the effort and went out of his way to build me to a high standard and I actually passed my sim assessment. He was tremendous help and I can’t recommend him enough”

FAQs
-
We can offer simulator training for any level of experience, however you should have at least completed an approved MCC course prior to booking a simulator assessment course.
-
It’s not a requirement to bring a sim partner, however we will endeavour to match you with a suitable candidate where we can.
-
We understand that assessments can come at short notice — and we’ll do our best to find a date that works for you.
To get the most out of your preparation, we recommend leaving a little time between your prep session and your actual airline assessment. This gives you the chance to reflect on feedback, refine your approach, and walk into your assessment feeling fully prepared.
-
If you’ve been out of flying for a while, or you're being assessed on a different aircraft type, we recommend booking a familiarisation session.
This will help you rebuild confidence, refresh key skills, and get comfortable with the specific aircraft you're being assessed on.
Feel free to get in touch — we’re happy to offer a tailored approach based on your experience and needs.

Our pricing is transparent, the price includes everything you need -instructor, materials and sim hire.
