# Jet2FlightPath 2026: Official Tests, Dates and Funding > Jet2FlightPath 2026: closed March 6 intake, fully funded 18-month ab-initio path, 17/18 age, GCSE requirements, Arctic Shores, Aon, HireVue, four-day windows and independent PASS course. Canonical: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/reviews/jet2-pilot-assessment-preparation/ Site guide: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/llms.txt **Jet2’s official 2026 FlightPath application guide confirms Arctic Shores, Aon Pilot Assessments and HireVue.** These are **not merely guesses made by PASS**. Equally important, the **February-March 2026 application window has passed**. The [dated 2026 guidance](https://jet2careers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FlightPath-Application-Guidance-2026.html) expected applications **February 16-March 6, 2026**, possibly closing sooner. The page is a guide to that campaign, not proof of an open November vacancy. Jet2FlightPath is a **fully funded, approximately 18-month ab-initio programme**. Its [February 2026 announcement](https://app.jet2.com/news/2026/02/Jet2_com_opens_Jet2FlightPath_programme_to_put_more_aspiring_pilots_through_fully_funded_training_) said the **first year received 18,000 applications for 60 places**. Those are **previous-cohort figures**, not the 2026 cohort’s applicant count or the probability that an individual will be accepted. **Independence:** [ATCPracticeTest.com](https://www.atcpracticetest.com/) is not Jet2, Arctic Shores, Aon, HireVue or PASS. PASS is an **independent third-party commercial course**, not an employer recruitment portal or an authorised source of private test questions. ## The dated 2026 FlightPath eligibility requirements _On mobile, swipe horizontally. Keyboard users can focus and scroll the table._ Condition Official 2026 campaign What to check in a future intake Application window Expected February 16-March 6, 2026, subject to early closure Await a new official deadline; this dated call has passed Age At least 17 at application; reach 18 by August 1, 2026 The August 1 date applies to that intake, not every year School education At least five GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including Mathematics and a science, or recognised equivalents Qualifications outside GCSEs and relevant higher education assessed under published guidance Height 1.57-1.91 m standard; over 1.91 m may apply with functionality check, under 1.57 m ineligible for 2026 Do not convert a functional check above 1.91 m into automatic exclusion Medical and prior exams Research UK Class 1 medical; certain recent CAA ATPL theory examinations may affect programme eligibility Medical and prior-training conditions must be checked before a new application Training commitment Fully funded approximately 18-month training, potentially UK, Spain or USA through assigned provider Confirm relocation, travel, living costs and signed financial/employment terms Jet2 reported **18,000 applications for 60 places in its first year**, which explains why accuracy and authentic motivation matter. It is **not** an official 2026 pass-rate denominator or evidence that a new application remains open. ## Jet2 publishes the assessment provider and the response window _On mobile, swipe horizontally. Keyboard users can scroll the focused table._ Stage First-party 2026 description What the candidate should prepare Application and motivation Eligibility, authentic motivation and online application School certificates, factual dates, personal reasons and safe test environment Arctic Shores cognitive assessment Task-based interactive exercises, up to 50 minutes; link completion within four days Read the invitation and complete official free practice; no right/wrong personality profile Aon Pilot Assessments Role-specific aptitude and behavioural modules, with a four-day response window Apply instructions precisely; practise verified relevant skills, not a secret cut score HireVue motivational interview One-way recorded video interview, four days after the link is issued Answer sincerely using genuine examples; Jet2 says responses are human-reviewed Later selection stages Further assessments and interviews; physics assessment described after progression Prepare foundational physics and communication, wait for actual candidate instructions Programme outcome Fully funded around 18 months of training with selected provider Selection, medical fitness and training completion are separate requirements **A four-day completion window is not a four-day examination.** For **Arctic Shores**, Jet2 says to set aside up to **50 minutes** of task time after a link is issued, with up to four days to submit it. The guidance also names a similar four-day response period for **Aon** and **HireVue** stages. Each candidate must use the **actual invitation deadline** and any reasonable-adjustment arrangements, rather than assuming a permanent testing schedule. Jet2 provides a link to an **Arctic Shores free demo** and notes that the tasks aim to capture natural behaviours. Do not coach false personality profiles or claim that a vendor exercise recreates the employer’s assessment. ### Jet2FlightPath is not experienced-pilot recruitment The [Jet2 pilot careers overview](https://jet2careers.com/pilot-careers/) separates **Jet2FlightPath** from pathways for pilots with existing qualifications, including **Jet2NextGen**. Candidates with a current licence, multi-engine rating and UK **Class 1 medical** should read the relevant direct-entry role rather than assuming a school physics test is their entire recruitment process. The **2026 FlightPath campaign** cannot be used to infer a 2027 date, a currently available training place or an unconditional post-training first-officer appointment. ## PASS modules: what matches official evidence? The [PASS Jet2 product](https://pilotassessments.com/jet2-pilot-assessment/) displayed **“Last Update: 5 November 2026”** on November 8. Its **Arctic Shores, Aon/cut-e and HireVue** labels overlap with Jet2’s own first-party **2026 FlightPath guide**; the employer truly names those providers for that dated campaign. PASS additionally markets **attention-to-detail** material for FlightPath, personality, HR interview, group work, simulator, aircraft systems, ATPL and reasoning practice. The existence of those commercial modules does **not** prove every item is a mandatory stage for every cadet or direct-entry applicant, nor that PASS represents Jet2 or knows a private passing threshold. ## Affiliate disclosure - Jet2-branded PASS practice This page includes a paid referral. **We may earn a commission** from a qualifying purchase at no extra cost to you. The priority given to first-party evidence is independent of that commission. - [View Jet2-specific PASS preparation (affiliate link)](https://pilotassessments.com/jet2-pilot-assessment/pilot/atc/) The exact destination returned HTTP 200 on November 8. It does not reopen the past 2026 FlightPath window, endorse the service on Jet2’s behalf or guarantee pilot selection. ## Three original candidate-decision exercises These are **original editorial scenarios**, not Jet2, Aon or Arctic Shores test questions, psychometric scoring systems or private interview material. ### Example 1 - the expired 2026 window An applicant in November 2026 reads that the **2026 FlightPath** guide expected applications to close **March 6, 2026**. Is the linked PASS course evidence that the same programme is still accepting candidates today? Reveal the dated-intake rule **Answer: no.** The 2026 window has passed. Only a new official Jet2 announcement or live vacancy can establish another intake. ### Example 2 - timing a 50-minute assessment A fictional candidate receives an Arctic Shores link with a **four-day completion window** and the guide states **up to 50 minutes** of tasks. Must they keep the assessment running continuously for four days? Reveal the two kinds of time **Answer: no.** Four days is a response deadline. Up to 50 minutes refers to approximate task time; follow the candidate link for exact timing and permitted breaks. ### Example 3 - height and functionality check A prospective FlightPath student is **1.93 m** tall. The 2026 guidance lists a standard upper height of **1.91 m** but permits taller applicants subject to a functionality check. Are they automatically excluded before that check? Reveal the height exception **Answer: no.** For this intake Jet2 says candidates above 1.91 m may apply but need a functionality check. That does not guarantee acceptance; ask Jet2 to confirm the current requirements. ## Candidate-first next steps Use the [Jet2FlightPath 2026 guidance](https://jet2careers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FlightPath-Application-Guidance-2026.html) as evidence for the **past campaign**, then inspect [Jet2 pilot careers](https://jet2careers.com/pilot-careers/) and the [FlightPath FAQ](https://jet2careers.com/pilot-careers/jet2flightpath/jet2flightpath-faqs/) for current announcements. If a future invitation names **Arctic Shores**, start with its official demo. If it names **Aon Pilot Assessments**, practise relevant concentration, spatial, numerical and instruction-reading skills without assuming a cut score. For **HireVue**, prepare genuine motivation and behavioural evidence. Confirm Class 1 medical eligibility and training relocation conditions before accepting an offer. The [PASS Aon/cut-e review](/reviews/pilot-assessments-aon-cut-e-preparation/), [PASS overview](/reviews/pilotassessments-review/) and [easyJet’s separate selection context](/reviews/easyjet-pilot-assessment-preparation/) offer optional comparisons; they do not substitute for a new Jet2 intake. ## First-party and vendor sources - [Jet2 - 2026 FlightPath Application Guidance: dates, Arctic Shores, Aon, HireVue and eligibility](https://jet2careers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FlightPath-Application-Guidance-2026.html). - [Jet2 - February 2026 FlightPath reopening and first-cohort 18,000 applications/60 places](https://app.jet2.com/news/2026/02/Jet2_com_opens_Jet2FlightPath_programme_to_put_more_aspiring_pilots_through_fully_funded_training_). - [Jet2 - pilot careers and different application routes](https://jet2careers.com/pilot-careers/). - [Jet2 - FlightPath candidate FAQ](https://jet2careers.com/pilot-careers/jet2flightpath/jet2flightpath-faqs/). - [PASS - Jet2 commercial preparation product updated November 5, 2026](https://pilotassessments.com/jet2-pilot-assessment/). **Published August 1, 2026.
