Pilot Aptitude Tests: BESTSELLER! - Pilapt

The popular Cockpitweb Pilot Aptitude Test Software will prepare you for the toughest computer aptitude tests used by airlines and flight schools. This software is available since October 2005 and is our bestseller! Make your dreams come true! Become an airline pilot!

August 2007: Version 2.0 is now available with 6 new tests!

Similar tests are used by major airlines and by many Flight Training Organizations.

Caution: Don't fail the math (Numerical Reasoning) test: Discover our Numerapt software.

The Pilot Aptitude Test software includes these tests:

> Radar screen:
An aircraft gets 4 radar vectors away from an airport. Your task is to remember these 4 radar vectors. At the end of the exercise you must determine the location of the airport (the green square). This tough memory and accuracy test comes in 2 levels: It includes 4-direction vectors (N,E,S,W) and 8-direction vectors (N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW,N).

> Frames:
Fly an aircraft through frames. A similar test is often used to check student-pilots (3 levels). This is a very challenging test as the frames move very fast! Test and improve your reaction speed and accuracy. (*)

> Shapes:
A shape and colour is spoken (Example: "Red cross"). Different shapes and colours are randomly shown on the screen. When you see the correct shape and colour, press a key and enter the number displayed inside the shape.

> Numbers:
A series of numbers is spoken (Example: "678-674-670-666-..."). Note the difference between the numbers. Each time the difference changes ("...-663-660-657-...") you must press a key and remember the new difference.

> Shapes and numbers:
This is THE ULTIMATE PILOT APTITUDE TEST(!) and the nightmare of any applicant. This test combines the 'Shapes' and 'Numbers' test and goes beyond the edge of your capacity. It tests how you react under a high workload. Initial scores of 50% are superb!

> Subtraction: Determine whether a shown subtraction is correct or wrong.

> Suitcase Man:
Determine whether a man carries the suitcase in his left or right hand. The man can be standing up, upside down, turned left or right and facing forward or aft (8 different positions).

> Hands:
A man holds a circle in one hand and a square in the other hand. You will hear a statement (example: "left square"). Determine whether this statement is true or not. The man can be standing up, upside down, turned left or right and facing forward or aft (8 different positions).

> Friend or Foe:
An aircraft (only one!) is randomly positioned on the screen. Determine whether the aircraft has long or short wings. If you don't decide within 2 seconds you fail the exercise. The next aircraft will be positioned at a completely different location on the screen (2 difficulty levels).

> Basket:
Use a joystick with opposite control to put the white dot in the basket. The position of the dot and basket change each time. (*)

> Moving cross:
Use a joystick to keep a randomly moving cross centered. The more you deviate, the higher the penalty (3 levels). (*)
Move the joystick towards the centre of the screen to keep the cross centered (= normal X- and Y axis).

> Crossbar:
Use a joystick to keep a randomly moving cross centered. The more you deviate, the higher the penalty (3 levels). (*)
Move the joystick in the direction of the crossbar to keep the crossbar centered (= opposite X- and Y axis as the FTE Jerez test).

> Crossbar II:
Use a joystick to keep a randomly moving cross centered. The more you deviate, the higher the penalty (3 levels). (*)
The X axis is controlled as in the 'moving cross' test and the Y axis as in the 'crossbar' test.

> Selective Concentration:
You will hear a 'bell' or a 'spring' sound. Then, you will see 2 columns of rapidly changing numbers or characters. If you have heard a 'bell' sound you must concentrate on the left column. If you have heard a 'spring' sound then you concentrate on the right column. Press a key when you see a number in the correct column. The bell or spring will sound often, so you must regularly concentrate on different columns.
Extra difficulty: The 'bell' sound corresponds to the left column in one test but may correspond to the right column in the next test!

> Numerical Series:
A series of numbers appears below a horizontal line, example 87, 24, 71, .... The same series of numbers will appear above the line with a delay of 2 numbers. So, number 1 (87) will be shown above the line when number 3 (71) is shown below the line. You must press a key when the number above the line is not included in the series. This is an extremely tough memory and concentration test that goes beyond your capacity!

> Circles:
You will see 2 circles. The circles can be yellow, red or black and the colors are changing rapidly. Furthermore you will regularly hear a bell. You must press a key when you either see a red circle and a yellow circle together, or when you only see one yellow circle and simultaneously hear a bell.

> Circledot:
A dot moves along an invisible circle with a fixed interval. Press a key when the dot skips an interval. The real aptitude test takes 33 minutes !

> Colors:
Circles with different colors (white, green, purple, yellow, red and blue) are shown on the screen. You must click on the button with the corresponding color. You may also hear a bell or a spring sound. Then you must click on the corresponding button. Furthermore the black L or R panel may turn white. You should not click on these panels, but you must press either the left or right cursor key. A test at very high speed!

The goal of each test is to be as quick as possible and as accurate as possible. During the test you can note your progress.

All tests are timed. At the end of each test your score and the time are shown. Both accuracy and speed are important. Note your progress and improve your results by 100-300%!

(*) = Tests indicated with an (*) require an optional Windows compatible joystick.
