Core format

Spatial orientation tests (the aircraft horizon test)

You are shown a set of flight instruments (like an artificial horizon, an altimeter, and a compass) and must choose which 3D aircraft silhouette matches those readings. Alternatively, you might see a 3D airplane and have to select the correct corresponding instrument readouts.

Your ability to translate abstract 2D instrument data into a dynamic 3D mental picture of the aircraft's orientation (pitch, roll, and yaw).

Open module Browse full library

Read the artificial horizon before the altimeter or compass unless the prompt asks for heading.
Positive bank in training items usually means right wing down; negative bank means left wing down.
Nose-up pitch shows more sky on the attitude indicator; nose-down shows more brown/ground.
