Ryanair Pilot Assessment Practice
Ryanair is Europe's largest low-cost airline group, recruiting Boeing 737 pilots through a multi-stage process that starts with a demanding online Aon (cut-e) psychometric battery.
Why Ryanair uses Aon
The online stage uses Aon Assessment Solutions modules to screen cognitive, spatial, and behavioural fit before interviews and simulator.
Also known as cut-e, smartPredict, MAPTQ, Aon online assessment. Last reviewed 2026-08-28.

Tips for the Ryanair assessment
- Practise under the real time pressure — most Aon modules are designed so candidates do not finish.
- For GYRO/RBI spatial items, sketch bearings before answering; do not rush the first seconds.
- Complete related on-site modules (scales cls, gridChallenge, scales verbal) even if some pilot-only tests are not simulated here.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ryanair use Aon (cut-e) for pilot selection?
Public candidate and prep sources report that Ryanair uses Aon Assessment Solutions (formerly cut-e), usually delivered via MAPTQ. Always confirm the provider named in your invitation.
Which practice tests on this site match the pilot battery?
Practice the on-site modules listed on this page (for example scales cls, scales verbal, gridChallenge). Aviation-only modules such as spatial orientation and reaction speed are described here but not yet simulated on-site.
Can the battery change between hiring waves?
Yes. Airlines select modules from Aon's library, so the exact set can differ by campaign. Treat module lists as commonly reported, not guaranteed.
