AON / CUT-E16 core + 2 supportPilot assessment hub
One hub for AON Cut-e: see the modules, open the guide, launch the right simulation.
This hub gathers the core AON Cut-e battery plus the supporting Math and Physics practice bridges in one place. From each card, you can open the related guide to see what the task measures, then jump straight into that module inside the CadetPrep cockpit.

Why this stage matters
Why AON Cut-e matters
AON does not behave like a single knowledge test. The battery uses short but intense tasks to show attention stability, rule-update speed, accuracy under tempo, and whether performance collapses under multiple cognitive loads.
Memory and attention tasks catch early rhythm loss very quickly.
The reasoning family reveals not just the right answer, but whether you can still read rules clearly under pressure.
Psychomotor and control modules measure the balance between speed and discipline.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
AON Cut-e is an online psychometric assessment battery used by airlines to evaluate pilot candidates. It measures cognitive performance under time pressure across attention, memory, reasoning, planning, and psychomotor speed.
AON / Cut-e is used by multiple airlines across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Providers can change, so always verify directly with the target airline.
A typical pilot-focused Cut-e battery includes multiple simulations. In this guide, we cover 16 commonly encountered core simulations, plus separate Math and Physics support modules for practice.
It depends on the airline and the selected test package. Some candidates report 60–120+ minutes total, often split into multiple short simulations.
There is no universal pass score. Airlines typically evaluate percentiles relative to a norm group, plus internal benchmarks and overall profile fit.
Yes. You can improve performance by practicing task formats, reducing reaction latency, and building consistency under time pressure with realistic simulations.
Most Cut-e tasks are scored using percentiles and standardized metrics, often with adaptive difficulty and time-based accuracy measures.
Policies differ. Some airlines allow re-application after a cooling-off period, while others may restrict attempts. Always check the specific airline’s recruitment rules.
