What HPP is, how it works, how it sits alongside your structured training, and what happens to your data. Answered directly.
The framework was designed as an assessment and course design tool — a way for regulators and training organisations to define, observe, and evaluate pilot performance during structured training events. It describes what high performance looks like.
It was not designed to help individual pilots develop those behaviours between simulator sessions. That gap is what HPP is built for.
The content inside HPP has been built from the ground up for professional line flying — not adapted from generic training material. The knowledge base contains over 850 discrete entries across three layers.
The first layer is phase-specific coaching guidance — 199 entries mapped across 12 phases of flight, from dispatch through non-normal procedures, each written at Foundation, Proficient, and Mastery level. The second layer is behaviour-specific How-To guidance — all 77 observable behaviours individually developed at three levels, giving 231 discrete coaching entries. The third layer is nine in-depth competency articles, each examining a competency in the context of real line flying.
In total: 597 level-specific coaching instructions, 50,000+ words of expert content, and five detailed operational event analyses used as the benchmark for coaching quality. All of it verified against 30 years of professional line experience.
My Flight Plan is HPP's Elite coaching engine. It builds a personalised development plan from your profile — your current challenge, your recent feedback, your declared blind spots, and your development level — and updates it after every reflection.
The plan tells you where you are in your development, where you are heading, and what to focus on across your next flights. It reads like a briefing from an experienced Line Training Captain, because the coaching algorithm was built by one. My Flight Plan is available on the Elite tier.
No. HPP is a development tool, not an assessment tool. There are no pass marks, no scores, and no results shared with anyone other than you.
The app gives you a structured way to focus on one behaviour at a time, reflect honestly on how it's showing up in your flying, and build it deliberately over time. What you record stays with you.
Your airline's training — whether that's your LPC, OPC, or line check — is periodic, structured, and designed around defined assessment points. HPP is continuous and self-directed, designed for the time between those events.
The two aren't in competition. Structured training tells you where you stand. HPP is how you develop in the sectors that don't have an examiner in the right seat.
No. The app explains each behaviour in plain language, with practical prompts for how to develop it on the line. Familiarity with the ICAO framework helps, but it isn't required.
If you've been through type rating or recurrent training in the last few years, you've been assessed against these behaviours — you just may not have been shown the framework behind the assessment.
Less than five minutes at each end of your day. Before the flight, Smart Pick selects the most relevant behaviour for you based on your practice history and radar scores — that's your focus for the sector. After the flight you reflect on how it showed up in your flying and record a short note.
The development happens in the aircraft, not around it.
Free gives you access to all 9 competencies, the first behaviour per competency at Foundation level, and a complete Daily Practice session from start to finish. Enough to understand exactly how HPP works.
Pro unlocks all 77 behaviours at all three development levels — Foundation, Proficient, and Mastery — Smart Pick daily practice, the full How-To library, progress radar and tracking, and My Report PDF export. Pro is £9.99 per month or £89.99 per year.
Elite includes everything in Pro, plus My Flight Plan — the personalised coaching engine — unlimited plan generations, and your Development Profile. Elite is £19.99 per month or £179.99 per year.
Free access gives you Foundation level How-To guides for all 77 behaviours across all nine competencies, plus one complete Daily Practice session from start to finish — behaviour selection, debrief, and reflection.
Enough to understand exactly how HPP works and begin developing deliberately. Proficient and Mastery How-To guides require a Pro subscription.
No. Your development data — your sessions, reflections, and progress — belongs to you. HPP does not share individual pilot data with operators, training departments, or anyone else. This is a hard requirement, not a preference. The value of honest self-reflection depends entirely on it staying private.
You can, however, generate a signed development report at any time and share it at your own discretion — something worth considering when the conversation about your next command comes around.
The pilots who develop fastest don't wait for the next simulator session. HPP gives you the structure to develop on the line — between flights, on your terms.
