What British Airways publishes
The BA pilot hiring page describes an application with recorded interview answers, a computer-based technical assessment, a group exercise, an interview and a simulator assessment. BA says its computer-based test looks at working under pressure and responding to increasing workload. The page says the simulator is currently an A380. Pre-employment checks follow an offer.
What you can practise on FlightDeck
FlightDeck offers original timed work in areas such as numerical reasoning, spatial awareness, memory and multitasking. These drills can help you practise concentration and pace; they are not BA test items or a substitute for BA's technical or simulator assessment.
- Start with the free test and review the skill breakdown.
- Use a focused drill, then check which answers and timings need another look.
- Try an assessment rehearsal with a FlightDeck practice profile when you want a longer session.
What the public page does not tell you
The page gives no sample questions, item formats, test timings, scoring rules or pass thresholds for the computer-based assessment. BA also says its recruitment process can differ by role. Use the instructions attached to the vacancy you are applying for.
A sensible preparation order
Confirm the requirements and steps for your exact vacancy first. Then practise general timed skills, review mistakes, and protect time for the non-test parts of selection: your application, interview preparation and any briefing BA sends you.
