Eurowings publishes a clear five-part cockpit recruitment sequence, and it is not the same as the full test list sold by PASS. The airline’s official cockpit careers page describes application, Basic Qualification, simulator screening, Corporate Qualification, then feedback and possible offer. It says the personnel service provider Interpersonal invites suitable candidates to assessments in Hamburg, Cologne or Vienna.
Verification note (November 8, 2026): the employer pages remain available as publicly indexed official English and German content, but direct HTTP GET from Shlomiracle to the Eurowings careers domain returned HTTP 403. This can be an anti-bot restriction. The details below are grounded in the first-party indexed text, not a claim that the live job form or any specific vacancy was verified. Candidates must confirm their current application and invitation.
Independence: ATCPracticeTest.com is neither Eurowings, Interpersonal nor PASS. PASS is a third-party practice vendor and cannot define eligibility, stages, scoring or hiring decisions.
The employer’s recruitment stages are more precise than a vendor list
On mobile, swipe horizontally. Keyboard users can focus and scroll this table.
| Stage | What Eurowings actually describes | What is still candidate-specific |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Application | Documents submitted online, then employer review; suitable candidates invited by Interpersonal | Rank, base, available vacancy, interview city and accepted documents |
| 2. Basic Qualification | Computer tests assessing concentration and logical thinking; Captain candidates also face EASA-compliant psychometric evaluation | Exact batteries, timing, provider and passing criteria |
| 3. Simulator Screening | Full Flight Simulator (FFS) or Flight and Navigation Procedure Trainer (FNPT), according to experience | Aircraft, briefing, tasks and which device your invitation specifies |
| 4. Corporate Qualification | Interview and other tests assessing fit with the airline's operational team | Interview questions, language, assessment location and scoring |
| 5. Feedback | Employer feedback and possible offer if selection and all requirements are satisfied | No guaranteed offer from completing third-party exercises |
Captain versus First Officer matters. The published EASA-compliant psychometric check is described specifically for Captain applicants. Neither that rank restriction nor the choice between FFS and FNPT should be erased in a generic guide. A candidate who pays for an Airbus full-flight simulator based solely on the PASS list may be preparing for a different device from the one actually assigned.
Eligibility and the base-specific German rule
Eurowings’ indexed cockpit FAQ says it does not provide ab-initio pilot training itself. Applicants already need a pilot licence, with examples including EASA ATPL(A), CPL(A) with ATPL credits or MPL(A). Training may instead be pursued with an independent school such as the Lufthansa Group’s European Flight Academy.
On mobile, swipe horizontally. Keyboard users can focus and scroll the table.
| Question | German-based cockpit | Other European cockpit bases |
|---|---|---|
| Language requirement | German at least B2 according to the employer FAQ | English ICAO Language Proficiency Level 4 is described as sufficient |
| Work authorisation | EU citizenship or an appropriate residence/work permit in country of employment and unrestricted passport | Appropriate rights for the relevant employing country and unrestricted passport |
| Licence | Already-licensed pilot, such as EASA ATPL(A), CPL(A) plus ATPL credit or MPL(A) | Likewise, plus specific vacancy and national requirements |
| Rank and simulator | Captain additional psychometrics; simulator depends on experience | Same official rank/device distinctions, subject to job advertisement |
| Training offer | No initial Eurowings flight school, but Airbus type-rating arrangements may be advertised | Fleet, paid type rating and contract terms must be verified per vacancy |
German B2 is not a blanket Eurowings global requirement. The official FAQ specifically places it on German-based crews, while listing ICAO English Level 4 for non-German bases. A candidate must also verify work permission, valid passport, licence, rating and any rank-specific flight hours from the live job.
Airbus now, Boeing fleet planning later
The employer currently describes its fleet as Airbus A320 family. It also mentions an allocation of 40 Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, with the first delivery scheduled for 2027. That forward-looking fleet plan is not evidence that a 2026 selection applicant must fly a Boeing 737 MAX simulator. Follow the actual role and assessment briefing rather than extrapolating from fleet strategy.
What PASS markets - and what it cannot establish
The PASS Eurowings course displayed “Last Update: 7 November 2026” when fetched from Shlomiracle on November 8. It lists IP-BQ aptitude/reasoning/mathematics, physics, English, personality, group exercises, HR interviews and simulator preparation.
There is genuine overlap with the airline’s public Basic Qualification, simulator and Corporate Qualification categories. However, the first-party page does not declare every PASS physics, mathematics, English, personality or group module mandatory for every First Officer or Captain. IP-BQ is a vendor-labelled preparation category here, not a guarantee of the airline’s exact test publisher, questions or scoring.

Three original candidate-decision exercises
These are original editorial examples, not official Eurowings tests, leaked Basic Qualification tasks or actual FNPT/FFS profiles.
Example 1 - German-base language
A fictional applicant plans to fly from a German Eurowings base and has ICAO English Level 4 but no evidence of German B2. Is ICAO English alone enough under the published base rule?
Reveal the base-specific requirement
Answer: no. The airline's indexed cockpit FAQ says German at least B2 is required for crews based in Germany; the ICAO English Level 4 alternative applies to bases outside Germany.
Example 2 - simulator device choice
A First Officer invitation specifies FNPT screening, while an acquaintance describes a Full Flight Simulator for a different experience profile. Must the applicant purchase full-flight simulator training as a mandatory substitute?
Reveal the simulator distinction
Answer: no. Eurowings explicitly distinguishes FNPT from FFS based on experience; follow the device and briefing named in the actual invitation.
Example 3 - future fleet and current skills
The airline plans a first Boeing 737-8 MAX delivery in 2027, and a candidate’s 2026 invitation concerns the Airbus A320 family. Does the future fleet plan make Boeing 737 systems testing mandatory?
Reveal the fleet-timing rule
Answer: no. A future aircraft delivery forecast does not override the present fleet and vacancy. Prepare only for the assessment specified in the invitation.
Next actions before purchasing practice
Identify whether the official application is First Officer or Captain and which base it names. From the Eurowings cockpit recruitment page, verify licence, work rights, German B2 or ICAO English Level 4, application deadlines and the current job. Where automated access is blocked, a browser session or recruiter confirmation is needed.
Read the Interpersonal invitation to distinguish Basic Qualification, FFS versus FNPT, Corporate Qualification and any role-specific Captain psychometric test. Use original reasoning practice, technical revision and truthful interview examples; avoid proprietary task reproduction.
Compare PASS COMPASS/PILAPT, the independent PASS review and Lufthansa City as separate resources, without implying those airlines share the same exam.
