Pilot CV Generator for Airline Applications

One page for cadets and First Officers with under 5,000 hours. Two pages maximum for senior Captains with extensive type ratings. Airline recruiters spend 6-15 seconds on initial screening, so concise formatting is critical.

Yes. Ryanair uses Taleo, easyJet uses Workday, Lufthansa uses SuccessFactors, Emirates uses Avature. These systems filter CVs before human review. Approximately 75% of pilot CVs are rejected due to formatting issues that prevent proper ATS parsing.

Wizz Factor is Wizz Air's flight hours weighting system. Jet airline hours count at 1.0x, turboprop multi-crew at 0.8x, single-engine piston at 0.3x. A pilot with 3,000 actual hours might have only 2,100 factorized hours. Ryanair uses similar factorization.

Present flight hours in a structured matrix showing Total, PIC, SIC, Multi-Engine, Instrument, and Night hours by aircraft type. Include recency (last 90 days, last 12 months). Separate simulator time clearly. Use consistent formatting that ATS systems can parse.

Ryanair requires minimum 1,500 hours on jets over 20 tonnes MTOW for First Officers. Type-rated candidates need current B737 rating. Hours must be actual flight time — simulator hours excluded. Competitive candidates typically have 2,000-3,000 hours.

Emirates First Officers need minimum 2,000 hours on jets over 20 tonnes. Direct Entry Captains require 7,000 total hours with 3,000 PIC on type. Qatar Airways has lower entry at 1,000 hours. Etihad requires 2,500 total with 1,500 glass cockpit.

Required: easyJet, Lufthansa, British Airways, Norwegian, Etihad, flydubai, Turkish Airlines, Air France. Optional: Ryanair, Wizz Air, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Jet2. Not accepted: TUI Airways.

In the US, airlines expect a one-page "resume" emphasizing FAA ATP certificate, Part 121 experience, and turbine PIC hours. In Europe and the Gulf, "CV" is standard — typically one to two pages with flight hours matrix, license details, and work authorization. Our generator outputs both formats with the correct terminology for your target market.

US majors — Delta, United, American, Southwest — require a pilot resume submitted through their ATS portals (Avature, Taleo). The format differs from European CVs: no photo, no nationality, FAA-specific terminology (ATP, Part 121, turbine PIC). Our generator adapts automatically when you select an FAA license authority.

Generic builders lack flight hours matrices, factorization calculators, and ATS-tested formatting. Airmappr includes Wizz Factor calculation, logbook import (LogTen, ForeFlight), airline-specific templates, and PDF/A-2b output tested on Taleo, Workday, and SuccessFactors.

Yes. Supports LogTen Pro, ForeFlight, Safelog, CrewLounge PILOTLOG, mccPILOTLOG. Drag and drop CSV export. Hours auto-categorize into PIC, PICUS, SIC, Dual, IFR, and Night by aircraft type.
