(We record your responses on our platform)

Your airline. Your role. Your mock interview. Your answers.
Practise the behavioural questions pilot recruitment have been known to ask
Experience interview day pressure before the real interview.
Over 35 different airlines we can build practise interviews for and counting.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is for you if:
You’ve got an airline interview coming up and want to know if your answers meet the competencies airlines seek.
You want targeted interview practise.
You want to know whether your answers are “good enough”
You want to practise commonly reported behavioural interview questions
You want more than some verbal feedback (you’ll likely forget by tomorrow…)
You’d rather prepare on your own schedule than book around someone else’s availability
THIS ISN'T A GENERIC MOCK INTERVIEW.
Most online interview preparation gives you a list of questions and leaves you to work out what to do with them.
We take a different approach.
You tell us which airline you're preparing for.
We then research the airline and the information available about its pilot recruitment process before building your mock interview.
That research can include:
Publicly reported interview experiences
Reported interview questions and question themes
Relevant recruitment information
Competencies and behavioural areas commonly explored
Our own experience of airline interviews
Feedback and experiences shared by pilots and candidates
We bring these sources together to create a mock interview designed around the airline and role you're preparing for.
You're not starting with a generic question bank.
You're starting with a mock interview that has been researched specifically around your airline.
WE DO THE RESEARCH.
YOU DO THE INTERVIEW.
We're looking for patterns.
What have pilots reported being asked?
What competencies appear repeatedly?
What types of behavioural and competency-based questions are relevant to the role?
What can we learn from publicly available information about the airline's recruitment process?
We then combine those findings with our own experience and knowledge of airline interview preparation to build your mock interview.
The result?
A targeted practice interview rather than a one-size-fits-all list of questions.

Don't see your airline?
That's okay.
Tell us where you're applying and we'll research the airline before building your mock interview.
My Flight Deck Prep is an independent interview preparation service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the airlines listed above.
YOUR AIRLINE. YOUR ROLE. YOUR MOCK INTERVIEW.
Once you've purchased, we'll ask you to tell us about the interview you're preparing for.
You'll provide:
Your airline
Which airline are you applying to?
Your role
What position are you applying for?
Anything else that's relevant
Anything you think may help us understand the interview you're preparing for.
We'll use this information to help shape your mock interview.
WHAT WILL YOU BE ASKED?
Practise the behavioural and competency-based questions pilot recruitment have been known to ask.
Airline interviews can approach the same competency & ask the same question from very different angles.
You might be asked to provide examples about:
Leadership
Communication
Teamwork
Conflict
Decision-making
Feedback
Mistakes and learning
Professional judgement
Professionalism
Handling challenging situations
The wording of the question can change.
The competency being assessed often doesn't.
That's why we don't want you simply memorising a list of answers.
We want you to practise using your own experience to answer questions from different angles.
PUT YOUR PREPARATION TO THE TEST
Once your mock interview is ready, you'll receive your interview link via email.
Complete and record answers to our questions online. Answer them as you would in an actual interview.
You can complete the recorded mock interview in your own time, without needing to coordinate with another person.
The objective is simple:
Put your preparation under pressure before the real interview.
Then comes the part that a generic question bank can't provide…..
WE ASSESS YOUR ANSWERS.
Completing the mock interview is only half the process.
We'll review your responses and provide structured feedback on each question.
You'll see:
QUESTION SCORE
How your answer performed against the criteria being assessed.
POTENTIAL SCORE
Where the answer could potentially be strengthened.
COMPETENCIES ASSESSED
The competencies the question is designed to explore.
WHAT YOU DID WELL
The strengths already present in your response.
AREAS TO IMPROVE
Specific areas where your answer could be clearer, stronger or more complete.
RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
Practical suggestions for strengthening your response.
HOW TO MAKE IT STRONGER
Practical guidance on what you could do differently next time.
You don't just find out whether an answer was good or bad.
You understand why — and what to work on.
WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE
THIS ISN'T JUST A MOCK INTERVIEW.
It's a detailed coaching assessment of your actual answers.
Completing the mock interview is only half of the process.
We then go through your responses question by question, assessing what you're demonstrating, where your answers could be stronger and how you can improve them before interview day.
A full coaching report is approximately 20+ pages, with around 2–3 pages of coaching content for each question.
A REAL EXAMPLE
Below is an example of the type of detailed assessment you'll receive after completing your mock interview
YOUR ANSWER IS ASSESSED
Every question is assessed individually.
You'll see how your response performed, the competencies being assessed and the evidence you've provided in your answer.
You don't just receive a score.
You can see exactly what sits behind it.
THEN WE COACH YOUR ANSWER
Once we've assessed your response, we show you how it could be strengthened.
The coaching is based on your own experience and your own answer — not a generic model response.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Rather than simply telling you that an answer needs work, we show you what a stronger version could look like and explain why it works.
UNDERSTAND WHY THE ANSWER WORKS
Knowing what to say is only part of interview preparation.
Understanding why an answer is stronger helps you apply the same principles when an interviewer asks something completely different.
The goal isn't to memorise our wording.
It's to understand how to communicate your own experience more effectively.
SEE WHAT THE INTERVIEWER IS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR
A strong interview answer isn't simply a good story.
It needs to demonstrate the competencies behind the question.
Your assessment identifies the competencies being explored and shows you where your answer is — and isn't — demonstrating them.
This is where experience becomes interview performance.
THEN WE STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE
After reviewing your individual responses, we bring everything together into an overall assessment.
You'll see your key strengths, the areas that need the most attention and what you should focus on before interview day.
So you finish the assessment knowing what to work on — not simply how you scored.
AND THE MOCK INTERVIEW ISN'T THE SAME FOR EVERY AIRLINE.
We don't simply change the airline name at the top of a generic question list.
We research the airline you're preparing for and use what we find to shape the mock interview — including reported interview experiences, question themes and relevant competency areas.

KNOW WHERE YOU STAND BEFORE INTERVIEW DAY
You can prepare answers on your own.
You can read interview questions online.
But none of those things will assess your actual answers and show you exactly where you can improve.
That's what the Mock Interview & Coaching Assessment is designed to do.
Your airline.
Your mock interview.
Your answers.
Your personalised assessment.
BUILT FROM REAL INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE
Meet Sean | Founder & B787 Pilot
Airline interviews aren't theoretical to us.
I've personally sat eight airline interviews and been successful each time.
I’ve experienced first-hand how differently competency-based questions can be approached.
I've seen how the same underlying competency can be explored through completely different questions.
I’ve also had a professional career prior to flying where I conducted behavioural interviews.
My Flight Deck Prep was created from that experience, combined with research into airline recruitment and the experiences shared by other pilots and candidates.
The goal isn't to give you a script.
It's to help you become better prepared for the interview you're actually facing.
Your experience. Our insight.
WHAT IF THE AIRLINE ASKS SOMETHING WE DIDN'T EXPECT?
That's exactly why we don't want you memorising a script.
Interview questions can be phrased in many different ways.
One interviewer might ask about conflict directly.
Another might ask about a disagreement with a colleague.
Another might ask about a time you had a difference of opinion with a team member.
The question changes.
The underlying competency may not.
Our approach is designed to help you prepare for the areas behind the questions — so you're better equipped to adapt your answers when an interviewer phrases them differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. You provide your airline and role after purchase, and we research relevant information about that airline's pilot recruitment process before building your mock interview.
-
Where relevant interview experiences and questions have been publicly reported or shared with us, they can inform the research and question development. We use this information alongside our own experience and competency framework when building the mock interview.
-
The purpose is preparation rather than providing a script to memorise. Interview questions can vary between interviews and interviewers, which is why we focus on the competencies and interview areas behind the questions.
-
Traditional 1-1 coaching interviews usually provide verbal feedback during or after the session. There often isn’t enough time to go over multiple questions that can be covered in an interview.
This assessment gives you a comprehensive written report that you can refer back to whenever you prepare for future interviews for all the common competency questions airlines usually ask.
Each interview question receives dedicated pages of personalised feedback, allowing you to clearly understand what worked well, what needs improvement and exactly how to strengthen your response.
Put simply: you get more questions covered, more detailed feedback, and you do it all on your own time - for less than the cost of most 1:1 sessions -
No problem. Send as many or as little as you like.
We can build them into your mock interview and tailor your coaching to your responses. NO extra charges apply
-
No.
Every airline interview is different and memorised answers are usually easy to recognise.
Instead, you’ll receive guidance on how to better structure your responses, communicate your experience more effectively and demonstrate the competencies interviewers are looking for while remaining authentic.
-
Your report includes:
Individual scores for every interview question
Areas of strength
Areas requiring improvement
The competency’s interviewers are looking for in each question
STAR framework assessment
Suggested wording improvements
Overall communication assessment
Personalised interview improvement plan
Final interview readiness summary

This assessment is suitable for:
Cadet pilots
Flight instructors
Regional airline pilots
Military pilots
Corporate pilots
Experienced airline pilots preparing for promotion or a new airline
Whether you’re applying for your first airline position or preparing for a new airline opportunity, the assessment is designed to help you present your experience more effectively.

Each answer is assessed against the key competencies interviewers are looking for during airline recruitment, including:
Communication
Leadership
Decision making
Crew Resource Management (CRM)
Professionalism
Threat and Error Management
Situational awareness
Reflection and continuous improvement
Your answers are also assessed for clarity, structure and overall interview effectiveness.
-
