What it captures
An application carries hours, ratings and a signature. How a pilot actually runs a flight has never been captured in a form that can sit in an underwriting file. ARES™ is built to capture it.
How an assessment works
ArrangedThe operator starts it for the pilots it chooses, or its broker sets it up on the operator’s behalf.
InterviewEach pilot completes a structured interview built by professional aviators, on their own schedule, alongside the record they disclose.
AnalysisThe responses are analyzed across four operational areas that bear on how a flight is actually run.
ReviewAviation professionals review every assessment before it is released.
Who sees itThe operator decides. A broker can arrange ARES™ without seeing the results, and each pilot’s debrief stays with the pilot.
What comes out
For the underwriterA written assessment of each pilot across the four areas, and the Aviation Risk Exposure Score, shared when the operator chooses, beside the aircraft picture from ALEX™.
For the operatorThe same assessment, to put in front of the underwriter and broker at renewal, transition or hiring.
For the pilotA private debrief of their own results, from people who fly for a living. It is theirs, and it is why pilots take part.
Where it is used
RenewalCrew evidence beyond hours and certificates.
Moving upOwner-pilots stepping into single-pilot jets and turboprops, where mentor hours are often required.
Experienced pilotsFor pilots meeting age limits at renewal: evidence of how they fly today.
HiringA consistent read on a new pilot before the left seat.
Safety programsCrew assessment beyond the checkride, for SMS and audit programs such as IS-BAO, ARGUS and Wyvern.
ARES™ is an underwriting input, not a verdict on a pilot and not a decision on a risk.
