How do I get started? What will it cost? What licenses are required? How long will it take to recover some of the expenses involved? What will I do when I finish my training? Who should I talk to? What is the difference between working for an airline and in general aviation with light aircraft? What is the lifestyle of an aviation professional, depending on where I choose to build my career? What are the characteristics of job contracts once I enter the market? How does it differ in Europe or the Middle East? What will my career progression look like?

There are many uncertainties to navigate before taking the first steps into this industry. Given the importance of the investment involved, having clear answers to these questions is vital. Our goal is to provide you with factual information so you don't waste time or money, enabling you to make a well-informed and cost-efficient approach to your goals. We are in contact with pilots working worldwide who can offer guidance and information to help you decide your next steps.

We recognize that there is an overwhelming amount of information available today through various channels. Our aim is to provide you with a straightforward and resourceful space where you can express your doubts, assess your needs, and find tailored solutions to meet those needs.

In aviation sometimes we find ourselves facing a long and demanding process that includes:

- Company assessment preparation

Personal interviews, theoretical assessments, personality tests, psychometric evaluations, medical exams, and group or individual dynamics are all part of a rigorous and demanding selection process. Often, we struggle in these assessments due to a lack of guidance and strategy needed to perform at our highest level.

Establishing an effective strategy to prepare for an assessment requires careful and thoughtful planning. It is essential to ask yourself questions such as: What types of tests will I face? What study resources do I have available? How can I organize my time efficiently? What are the expectations of the evaluators? How can I stand out among other candidates? How do I create a realistic and effective study schedule?

At Crew Compass, our goal is to provide you with the support and guidance tailored to your unique circumstances, enhancing your chances of success throughout this process.

- Operator Conversion Course preparation and guidance

The Operator Conversion Course, Type Rating, and Line Training present a new set of challenges once we secure our job. We must navigate these obstacles until we complete our Final Line Check and are cleared for Line Operations. Throughout this journey, we may encounter various difficulties, such as: How should I prioritize my study time? What are OMA, OMB, FCOM, and FCTM? Which one should I start with, and why? What will be expected of me at different stages of my training? How can I effectively manage the demands of my new role? How can I properly prepare for my flights?

At Crew Compass, we provide guidance at every step of the way. Our aim is to reduce ambiguities and equip you with the structure and strategies needed to enhance your performance during these challenging times.

- Command upgrade preparation

After gaining experience in the right seat for several years, the moment has arrived: you have been pre-selected for the upgrade course.

How do you prepare? Where do you start? What is expected of you? Is it merely about having an encyclopedic knowledge of our manuals, or is there more to it? What are the reliable and resilient core competencies they seek in you, and how can you develop them? You’ve been with the company long enough to know the procedures and aircraft systems, so what exactly will be the challenge and how can you get ready for it?

At Crew Compass, we provide the tools and structure to assist you in your upgrade command process. We offer recommended reading materials to help you go the extra mile, prepare for your interview, enhance your leadership and management skills, develop your soft skills, and train in various scenarios to refine your decision-making abilities, all aimed at increasing your chances of a successful journey.- Change of company.

Demotivation, stress, burnout, chronic fatigue, nutritional and digestive issues, anxiety, sleep cycle disorders, lack of confidence, depression, substance abuse, family problems, economic difficulties, loneliness, isolation, and more—these are just a few of the challenges we all face throughout our professional careers. Despite the existence of some support groups, such as Pilot Peer Support, we understand that it can be difficult to ask for help due to the potential consequences for our careers within the company.

At Crew Compass, our goal is to provide you with a safe, discreet, and strictly confidential environment where you can openly and honestly express all your fears, insecurities, doubts, and issues you may be experiencing. No matter the nature, severity, or complexity of your concerns, we offer a judgment-free space where we will actively listen and work together to find the best solutions to alleviate your burdens and explore potential resolutions. Together, we will seek the resources necessary to restore the balance you need. Remember, the hardest part is always taking the first step.

Mental Support and advice during Safety Events.

Our activities possess a distinctive character, shaped by the personal and material responsibilities we confront daily, as well as the technical and environmental challenges we face. Consequently, events, incidents, and, in the worst cases, accidents are inevitable. So, what happens next? What challenges lie ahead? From the aseptic seat of an office, we need to prepare ourselves to be on guard to deal with endless interviews, questions, meetings, data analysis, inquiries, retraining, and more.

It is not uncommon to find ourselves grounded for extended periods of time (often weeks, sometimes months), contemplating the fragility of our professional and financial futures while awaiting decisions from the safety, fleet, and HR departments. It is precisely during these moments that we need professional support more than ever to help us navigate the heightened anxiety and toxic thoughts that may arise.

At Crew Compass, our goal is to provide you with the essential support and assistance you need during these transitions. We will be with you every step of the way, offering effective tools to help restore your lost mental balance and deal with the situation in an effective way.

There can be many and diverse circumstances throughout our professional careers that require us to spend time in a simulator. Whether it's due to having been away from flying for a while, preparing for selection tests, improving our skills for the Captain course, or simply reinforcing and developing our flying, communication, and decision-making competencies, Crew Compass can adapt to your needs and help you gain confidence in a friendly, discreet, and professional environment with sessions tailored to your specific requirements. Crew Compass is partnered with the simulation center located in Valencia, Spain, Flight Sim NG, where we can work on the areas of improvement you need, whether in the fixed simulators for B737NG or A320.
