Instrument Comprehension
IntellectualRead cockpit instruments and reconstruct the aircraft's situation: match an attitude indicator and heading compass to the right silhouette, or — in the cut-e-style RBI/GYRO format — add heading and relative bearing to find the NDB beacon's zone.
Overview
Instrument Comprehension measures spatial orientation from flight instruments: your ability to decode symbolic cockpit gauges and reconstruct the aircraft's real situation in space. The default format pairs an artificial horizon (pitch and bank) with a heading compass; you bind all three orientation cues — climb/dive, left/right roll and heading — to a single external aircraft pose and choose the matching silhouette from four, as in DLR-style and comparable pilot batteries. The RBI/GYRO format replicates the cut-e (Aon) spatial-orientation item shape: read your heading from the GYRO and the beacon's relative bearing from the RBI, compute heading + relative bearing = magnetic bearing, and place the NDB in the correct zone of a north-up 8-zone map. Both are the classic "keep the picture of the aircraft in your head from the panel" screen. This exercise familiarises you with those item types and builds reading speed; targets are provisional and descriptive, not a selection prediction.
Assessments
Tested in assessments at FTEJerez.
Could show up in DLR and cut-e / Aon-based selections.
Airline mappings are based on public information and may change.
Example: match the instruments to the aircraft
Read three cues from the two dials — heading from the compass, plus climb/dive and bank from the horizon — then pick the single silhouette that matches. The aircraft are seen from a fixed observer to the south looking north. The correct answer is highlighted below.
Which aircraft matches the instruments?
Example: RBI / GYRO format — place the NDB beacon
In the cut-e-style presentation you read your magnetic heading from the GYRO and the beacon's relative bearing from the RBI's yellow needle (0 on the RBI card = your nose). Add them — wrapping past 360° — to get the beacon's magnetic bearing, then pick that zone on the north-up map. The solved item is shown below.
Game Phases
Configure
Choose your test duration, difficulty and presentation — silhouette matching or the cut-e-style RBI/GYRO zones.
Orient
Read the gauges and commit: pick the aircraft matching the horizon + compass, or the NDB zone from heading + relative bearing.
Review
After finishing, review your score and inspect each item's instruments with the correct pose or the full bearing computation.
