# Finnair Pilot Assessment 2026: MPL and Licence Routes > Finnair pilot assessment 2026: MPL applications closed, 22 months, Selex selection, EUR 60,000 tuition and five-year hiring priority vs licensed pilot requirements and independent PASS Aon course. Canonical: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/reviews/finnair-pilot-assessment-preparation/ Site guide: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/llms.txt **Finnair’s MPL application period is currently closed.** The [official MPL programme page](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/mpl-program), checked by HTTP GET from Shlomiracle on **November 8, 2026**, states that applications are closed. It nevertheless documents a **22-month A320 training programme**, student selection through **Selex Oy**, a published **EUR 60,000 tuition** structure and **five-year priority for Finnair A320 hiring**. Those are programme details, **not an invitation to apply today or a guaranteed job**. The second distinction is between the **zero-hour MPL trainee path**, the **Finnish Aviation Academy** and **licensed-pilot hiring**. Finnair’s [pilot careers page](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/pilots) separately describes the commercial licence, education, language, medical and security requirements for qualified pilots. **Independence:** [ATCPracticeTest.com](https://www.atcpracticetest.com/) is not Finnair, Selex or PASS. PASS is an **independent third-party practice course, not an official Finnair assessment**. ## First choose the correct Finnish pilot pathway _On mobile, swipe horizontally. Keyboard users can focus and scroll this comparison._ Route Employer-published conditions What must not be assumed Finnair A320 MPL programme Zero previous pilot training accepted; around 22 months and included A320 type rating; applications currently closed That Finnair is accepting new applicants or guaranteeing work after graduation Finnish Aviation Academy Independent basic training near Pori, roughly two years; student selection involves Selex That it has the same financial contract or automatic A320 pilot appointment as the Finnair MPL Licensed Finnair pilot Professional commercial pilot licence, fluent Finnish and English, medical clearance and police background screening That a zero-hour student or a PASS module meets licensed vacancy conditions PASS Finnair product Vendor advertises ATPL, Cut-E/Aon, maths, aviation English, group/interview and simulator preparation That Aon is confirmed for every Finnair route or that purchasing unlocks a closed intake The [Finnair pilot FAQ](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/pilots) identifies **Finnish and English fluency**, a **commercial pilot licence** for qualified applicants, upper-secondary education (or qualifying three-year vocational training), **minimum height 163 cm**, medical criteria and police security clearance. Finnair separately says **Finnish citizenship is not in itself required**, but Finnish-language competence is. Do not apply general aviation language standards in place of these employer-specific rules. ## MPL training: location, cost, selection and hiring priority _On mobile, swipe horizontally; keyboard users can focus and scroll this table._ MPL fact Published first-party detail Candidate implication Status and entry Application period closed; minimum 18 years and 163 cm tall, qualifying school studies, Finnish/English, medical and clearance Wait for an explicitly opened cohort and reconfirm the conditions Training geography First 18-20 months at Center Air Pilot Academy, Roskilde, Denmark; final A320 simulator phase in Vantaa, Finland Housing and some travel costs remain the student's responsibility Published tuition EUR 60,000: EUR 37,500 in three instalments while training, and EUR 22,500 after Finnair employment under the published arrangement Not a zero-cost or universally airline-funded cadetship; obtain the written contract Student selection Application, aptitude testing and interviews; Selex Oy for MPL and Finnish Aviation Academy Do not present Aon/cut-e vendor exercises as the airline's confirmed test publisher Employment Five-year priority for A320 co-pilot employment during active Finnair hiring; employer operational needs govern timing Priority is not guaranteed hiring or an immediate post-training start date The **EUR 60,000** amount is the employer’s published figure for the described closed programme, **not a live 2027 quotation**. Finnair explains a staged **EUR 37,500 + EUR 22,500 = EUR 60,000**, with the latter payable under the published arrangement once a graduate is employed by Finnair. The employer says **accommodation is paid by the student** and some travel is separate. Contractual conditions, new-cohort pricing and the consequences of delayed employment require written verification. Although the course is designed to prepare an A320 co-pilot and includes a type rating, **priority for five years** applies _when Finnair recruits A320 pilots_. It does not entitle every graduate to begin immediately after completing the course. The programme’s projected first pilot deployments, if stated, are dependent on operational demand. ## Selection is Selex, not automatically Aon/cut-e The [Finnair MPL FAQ](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/mpl-program) explicitly describes an **application stage, aptitude tests and interviews**, using **Selex Oy** personnel selection for both MPL candidates and the Finnish Aviation Academy. It does not publish a universal question bank, duration or pass score. Meanwhile, the independent [PASS Finnair product](https://pilotassessments.com/finnair-pilot-assessment/) displayed **“Last Update: 7 November 2026”** on November 8 and advertises **ATPL technical**, **Cut-E/Aon aptitude, reasoning, maths and English**, **group exercise**, **HR interview** and **simulator** modules. Those are **paid supplier categories**, not proof that all Finnair applicants take Aon, a group exercise or a screening simulator. ## Affiliate disclosure: Finnair-branded PASS product This page contains a paid referral. **We may earn a commission** if a qualifying purchase is made through it, at no extra cost to you. Employer statements are evaluated independently of the supplier. - [View Finnair-specific PASS preparation (affiliate link)](https://pilotassessments.com/finnair-pilot-assessment/pilot/atc/) This exact branded product returned HTTP 200 on November 8. It is **not** a current Finnair application, a paid introduction to Selex, an official scoring simulation or a guarantee of airline employment. ## Three original candidate-decision exercises These are **original editorial scenarios**, not official Finnair or Selex questions, aptitude items or confidential interviews. ### Example 1 - the closed cohort An applicant sees a page describing Finnair’s MPL training and a PASS course advertised for Finnair. The official MPL page says the application period is closed. Does buying the course reopen the application? Reveal the intake status **Answer: no.** Only an authorised new Finnair vacancy or programme announcement can reopen the intake; an independent course provides neither an application nor a priority place. ### Example 2 - staged training fees A fictional candidate reads the published course cost as **EUR 60,000** and the during-training instalments as **EUR 37,500**. What remaining amount is stated after eventual Finnair employment under the described contract? Reveal the fee calculation **Answer: EUR 22,500.** EUR 60,000 - EUR 37,500 = EUR 22,500, payable under the published post-employment arrangement. This does not promise a job or eliminate living costs. ### Example 3 - five-year priority A graduate has successfully completed A320 training and has **five-year hiring priority**. Finnair is not recruiting A320 co-pilots immediately. Is a start date guaranteed by the priority alone? Reveal the hiring distinction **Answer: no.** Priority applies when Finnair hires in the specified role and remains subject to operational needs, eligibility and programme agreement; it does not force a vacancy to exist. ## Prepare efficiently without confusing trainee and pilot recruitment **For a potential MPL student**, monitor the [Finnair MPL page](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/mpl-program), check age, height, education, Finnish/English fluency, medical and security requirements, and obtain an updated written cost schedule if applications reopen. Prepare basic reasoning, numeracy and interview evidence only as allowed by official Selex instructions. **For a licensed pilot**, start with [Finnair careers](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers) and the [pilot requirements](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/pilots); check a current vacancy, commercial pilot licence, language, medical, security, experience and employer technical assessment. A vendor’s Aon syllabus cannot be assumed to apply to that route. Compare [PASS Aon/cut-e practice](/reviews/pilot-assessments-aon-cut-e-preparation/), the [independent PASS review](/reviews/pilotassessments-review/) and [best pilot aptitude platforms](/reviews/best-pilot-aptitude-test-preparation-platforms/) only for a documented preparation gap. ## Official and vendor references - [Finnair - commercial pilot careers and Finnish/English, height, medical and security conditions](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/pilots). - [Finnair - MPL programme, closed intake, Selex, Roskilde/Vantaa and EUR 60,000 costs](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers/mpl-program). - [Finnair - careers and currently advertised positions](https://company.finnair.com/en/careers). - [PASS - Finnair supplier course updated November 7, 2026](https://pilotassessments.com/finnair-pilot-assessment/). **Published August 1, 2026.
