 Candidate Summary

Locus of Control
Currently Medium External 3
The candidate has started to develop a number of coping strategies for managing the novel and pressured
environment, but can allow anxiety to impact on their effectiveness at times.
Although he can remain calm under pressure he can lose confidence and look to others for assistance.
He is able to take responsibility for his performance, appearing critical but also taking the positives moving forward.

Self-Efficacy Generally appropriate for the situation but can experience lapses in confidence.
Adherence Understands when to roll with the punches and when things are too difficult.
Motivation Understands commitment required and is realistic about his strengths and weaknesses.
Influence Generally knows when to push and when to back off but can look to others at times.

Strengths
The candidate presented as a warm, confident and open individual at interview.
He was able to display an interest and passion in aviation and had conducted some research into both NFTI and IndiGo,
preparing well for the assessment day with additional materials as well as the handbook.
He showed some good multi-tasking potential on the day; maintaining accuracy in information processing whilst also
being able to demonstrate learning and improvement in his physical skills.
He demonstrated good situational awareness and an ability to involve his crew in events, interacting well.
He was self critical in the debrief and able to discuss where he had made mistakes, highlighting areas where he needed
to improve; he did not allow this to impact, though, and was able to take the positives.

Weaknesses
The candidate can at times be overly accommodating of others and too keen to please; this may mean that he lacks the
courage of his convictions at times and may prefer to refer to others when it comes to making decisions.
Confidence levels can be impacted by cognitive anxiety at times in the pressured environment.
The candidate is aware of some of the issues with current cadets at NFTI, which could impact on adherence.

Suitability/Fit
Training Organisation & Syllabus 4
The candidate demonstrated a good level of potential and trainability to meet the demands of the training course.
He should work hard to apply himself and overcome any difficulties encountered, striving to complete successfully.
His information processing speed can be impacted by workload but he is generally able to maintain accuracy under
pressure, which should help the transition to the glass cockpit environment.
He is able to accurately analyse his performance and select areas where improvement is needed. He is somewhat
cautious in nature, however, and this could slow his development as he looks to perfect and rehearse everything.
He should interact well in the team environment, although he could be taken advantage of at times.

Airline/Employer 3
The candidate demonstrated a reasonably good level of motivation having researched IndiGo and NFTI. He is aware of
difficulties currently being encountered by students at NFTI, however, which could affect his commitment.
He has the potential to respond to both long and short haul routes, although may prefer to remain in his comfort zone.
He should take on-board feedback well, although he may be overly-dependent on advice from his instructors.
He may prefer to structure his own learning but should respond well to structure and display self-discipline in his
approach.

Candidate 10033108 2
 Performance in Training Pipeline

Learning Style Description

This profile likes to have time to work alone and figure things out for themselves, rather than being forced at a
pace that is not suitable (too slow, too fast). Will find the development of physical skills easier when workload
increases and the physical skill can become automated and individualised. If the task is made too cognitive and
theoretical this may cause a complete stagnation of action as this profile type will spend a great deal of time
thinking about actions and may be in danger of paralysis by analysis, which prevents smooth continuous actions
taking place. Because his profile is an internal attributer, there is a good mechanism for capturing what caused
the good or bad performance but, because they are less prepared to take risks and move into uncharted territory,
they may not push their performance to the full degree of their potential. Therefore, their performances are often
consistent and reliable, which when connected to a perfectionist personality who is ambitious and wants to
succeed, can create immense frustration and quickly eat into confidence if it is paired with a low locus of control.

Locus of control is critical to this profile as they will be quick to look to themselves for causality of an outcome, and
the perfectionist element may be prone to over self-criticism. They will need to learn how they have influenced
positive outcomes and learn to repeat the processes that relate to success, rather than focusing on the things they
should not have done.

Syllabus Fit - Detail

Code Attribute Fit
3 Conceptual Understanding of The candidate should enjoy learning the concepts behind the laws.
Laws He may not always enjoy the formal classroom environment but
should display the level of discipline and focus to ensure he applies
himself and works hard.

4 Practical Application of Rules
The candidate should enjoy more applied subjects; the knowledge
and skills gained during his aeronautical engineering degree should
assist him in applying rules in the practical setting. He is likely to
take a structured approach and should take on the necessary skills,
although may be initially slow to develop.

3 Understanding Principles of
Natural Science
The candidate may not enjoy more technical subjects. However,
his engineering background suggests that he should be able to
handle requirements. He should generally take a disciplined
approach to his studies, preparing himself well and meeting
deadlines.

3 Performance The candidate has the potential to experience cognitive anxiety in

the test environment and this has may impact on performance
levels. However, he should work hard to ensure he gains all the
necessary knowledge and prepares well for the exam and as a
result should be able to complete successfully.

4 Basic Flying The candidate demonstrated an ability to learn quickly from

mistakes and correct his inputs on the controls; he should be able
to develop his skills well although his confidence levels will need to
be maintained to prevent a desire to over-rehearse and practice.

Candidate 10033108
The candidate may experience anxiety at losing the safety net of
the instructor. Although his intuitive nature could help mitigate
against this to an extent, he will need to have improved his
confidence levels and learn to trust his own skills without relying
on others. He might take some time to develop the skills required,
but has potential.
The candidate should prepare well for this important check and his
perfectionist and safe nature should mean that he responds well to
the more formal and structured nature. He demonstrated a
reasonable ability to manage thinking and doing requirements and,
providing he can overcome the effects of cognitive anxiety, he
should perform well.
The candidate communicated well with the examination team,
displaying a good ability to report the navigation requirements
along with other potential points of interest. He follows instructions
well and should enjoy the structured nature of formal protocols,
understanding the communication requirements well.
The candidate displayed a reasonably good level of coordination in
the 3D environment; although control was at times disrupted by
workload he was able to quickly recover and rectify mistakes,
demonstrating good learning. Given time, he should be able to
develop his skills.
The candidate displayed a good ability to follow rules on the day
and his perfectionist nature should ensure diligence when adhering
to SOPs. He is not overly rigid, however, and his ability to respond
decisively when interpretation of procedures is required should
improve as experience and confidence levels develop.
The candidate should be able to manage most tasks effectively
and will be well prepared to meet requirements. However, he may
find the pressure and demands of the assessment environment
introduces cognitive anxiety that disrupts performance levels. He
should work hard to ensure he meets the required standard.
The candidate may prefer to operate within his comfort zone and
as result could take time to adjust to the demands and uncertainty
experienced in the dynamic ME environment. He does have the
potential to manage multi-tasking and crew requirements,
although he may initially show some reliance on others if not
feeling 100% confident.
The candidate was able to maintain a reasonable level of
performance during the cloud element of the task. Although he
may prefer VFR conditions, his attention to detail and information
processing skills should enable him to adapt to the demands of
instrument led flight. He may take time to become a fully confident
and competent operator.
The candidate displayed a good ability and willingness to work with
others, interacting well and involving his crew in the decision
making process, keeping them informed. He is willing to ask for
clarification when required, although at times his cautious nature
can make him over-reliant on reassurance. He engages well and
should become more self-reliant as confidence improves.

Fit
The candidate displayed a fairly good level of coordination and
control on the day. Although he took a little time to adapt to
the sensitivity of controls and was disrupted at times by
workload, he was able to recover quickly from mistakes without
assistance, demonstrating a level of learning and improvement
that suggests good trainability.
The candidate was able to maintain his level of responding and
accuracy as workload and pressure increased. Although his
speed did degrade he was generally able to maintain effective
information processing, displaying improvement in his
numerical reasoning skills.
The candidate displayed a reasonably good ability to manage
concurrent task activity; his safe and perfectionist nature should
ensure a structured and proactive approach is taken to task
planning. His intuitive nature should help ensure that he is able
to respond to changing priorities and situational demands.
The candidate displayed a good level of communication on the
day, maintaining the reporting requirements as workload and
pressure increased, as well as keeping his crew well-informed
of other traffic and potentially significant events. He
demonstrated good echoic memory and an ability to listen to
instructions well, although this was occasionally disrupted. He
should adapt well to the team environment.
The candidate can lack confidence in his skills at times which
He was able to demonstrate recovery without assistance from
others however and should learn to trust his instincts.
The candidate displayed a good level of situational awareness;
he performed well in the additional SA tasks in Mission 2 and
was able to show improvement in his visual scans, showing
signs of visual dominance. Cognitive anxiety did induce some
fixating at times.
The candidate displayed some effective multi-tasking skills,
managing the physical, cognitive and communication elements
of the tasks reasonably well. He may not always enjoy the
dynamic environment, preferring to operate within his comfort
zone. However he should have the skills to operate successfully,
particularly as confidence levels grow.

Candidate 10033108
The candidate displayed a good and positive attitude on the
day and has demonstrated a clear interest in the aviation
industry, taking a related degree. He should work hard to take
on board the values and priorities of the organisation.
The candidate followed the brief well on the day and should
have a good understanding of rules and procedures, preferring
to operate within known boundaries and guidelines. He is also
able to respond in novel situations that require interpretation,
although he may show some indecision or hesitancy initially
when confidence is low.
The candidate may prefer to be engaged in his environment,
but his perfectionist nature should ensure that he is able to
maintain focus in low workload, more mundane environments.
He also has the potential to manage high workload scenarios,
although sudden increases may induce anxiety initially.
The candidate demonstrated an ability to follow instructions
well on the day. He should be respectful of those in authority
and able to take on board feedback and criticism well, using it
to improve performance. He may take a while to develop the
confidence required for a position of leadership, preferring to
look to others for final confirmation when unsure.
The candidate currently has a medium locus of control and the
development of more effective strategies and improvement to
confidence levels will be critical in ensuring he gets the best out
of himself and his performance. He does take responsibility for
his performance, however, and is able to articulate where
improvements need to be made. This should assist in his
development.

 Performance in Operational Pipeline

Assessment Performance Description

Quick-minded people who, when focused and comfortable, will absorb complex information and can manage
conceptual and abstract issues. This is because they are experiential learners; they are people who spend a great
deal of time and thought in understanding their experiences and can readily incorporate new experiences into
learning and improving performances. They may have a tendency to get frustrated and bored easily if things do not
challenge them or create the opportunity for experiential growth. This often occurs in traditional training systems, as
they can be way ahead of their fellow students in some respects. The formalised and structured approach generated
by large classes and formal training environments do not suit them; they prefer to be actively engaged in the context
of activities rather than be told about them or watching them. As they learn primarily by sensory input, formal tuition
can disrupt the learning process and inhibit or slow down skill acquisition in the early stages, particularly in physical
task development, where tasks are broken down into logical segments and require the individual to think about
actions rather than just do. This is more pronounced in the cognitive intuitive profile, as there is often a
considerable amount of self-talk and information already present inside their head and additional auditory or visual
stimulus can easily overload and cause frustration and irritation.

Personality and Behaviour

Generally this profile is a driven personality who may lack balance and perspective. If scored highly in perfectionist
and in internal attribution this may manifest itself in a supreme arrogance or extreme low self esteem, as they will
have very high expectations of themselves and are likely to expect to manage everything single-handedly without
asking for help. The high perfectionist score may make them highly critical and possibly intolerant of others when
under pressure. This can often lead to poor team working and relationship issues. However, this may not be a true
reflection of how the individual really feels and negative internal dissonance may build up causing a loss of confidence
that may not be openly acknowledged, as it is viewed as a sign of weakness. This can usually be overcome with
discussion and positive motivation that appeals to the instinctive and applied nature of this profile. This profile is
often an exceptional mimic and can reproduce performances without actually understanding the reasons why they
work. The high perfectionist score will ensure that the skill is mimicked to a high standard and honed into a
performance that is uniquely theirs; this profile will spend time internalising the skills and ensuring that they are
repeatable. They are often articulate and inspiring individuals.

This combination of high scores can manifest itself as a highly competitive individual who looks for fault in themselves
first, examining their own shortcomings and contributions to negative outcomes; the higher the score for internal
attribution and desire to succeed the more exaggerated these traits are likely to be. Their desire to be the highest
achievers may be unrealistic and this can affect their performance considerably which can have a huge affect on
confidence levels if they are not achieved. However, this individual is a thinker and once an association has been
made that links poor results with behaviour they will quickly adopt a behaviour that is more constructive to achieving
their goals and may not need outside influence for this to occur. They can be responsive pupils who will adapt to and
learn new ideas. They will have a profile which exhibits the will to do things well and push themselves on to improve,
without worrying about the negatives.
