Hand-Eye-Foot Coordination Test
A real-time three-axis coordination test. Keep the aircraft centred on the target runway while periodic disturbances push it left/right, forward/backward, and roll it from side to side. Best practised with a game controller or rudder pedals mapped to the three control axes.
Path Following Test
A hand-eye coordination test of fine-motor precision, built on the continuous path-tracking format used across pilot aptitude screening. Steer a dot along a winding track from the green start to the red end without drifting off the path. The same route repeats each round so your improvement is measurable.
Compensatory Tracking Test
An invisible disturbance drags your cursor off centre — feed in smooth corrections and hold it on the crosshair.
Math: Full
A mixed practice test combining all math categories — integers, decimals, fractions, time, weight, operators, and percentages — with a per-question timer.
Math: Decimals
Solve decimal arithmetic problems — addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with decimal numbers.
Math: Fractions
Solve fraction arithmetic problems — addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions.
Math: Integers
Solve integer arithmetic problems — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Math: Operators
Find the two operators that make the fraction equal the target value.
Math: Percentages
Solve percentage problems — find the percentage or the whole number given the other two values.
Math: Time
Add or subtract two times expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Math: Weight
Add or subtract two weights expressed in kilograms and grams.
Multitasking Test
Two tasks at once: scan number grids for duplicate pairs while answering spoken questions from your phonebook, agenda, mental math and word categories — some of which must be answered at an exact moment on the clock.
Planning Test
Build a weekly schedule that satisfies every constraint. Pick a scenario, fill the grid with role assignments, and meet every staffing rule before the timer runs out.
M-TASK Multitasking Test
Three tasks at once in the Schuhfried M-TASK format: work a symbol queue in its stated priority order, fill arithmetic blanks against a time bar, and reorder symbol rows to match a target. One clock, a neglected panel drags the whole score, and every run records a replay. Or go endless in Challenge, where the first mistake ends the run.
Complex Choice Reaction Test
Compare a target figure against four reference shapes and decide within 2.5 seconds whether it matches one of them.
Vigilance Test (VIGIL)
Test your attention and reaction speed. Detect when the moving circle skips a position.
Determination Test (DT)
Test your reaction speed with colors, directional arrows, and sounds across adaptive difficulty levels.
Stroop Test
Name the ink colour, not the word. A colour word streams on screen in a possibly-mismatched ink — select the ink colour and resist reading the word.
Visual Scanning
Sweep a cluttered field and connect the numbers in order — 1, 2, 3 … — as fast as you can find them.
Attention Switching
Connect scattered numbers and letters in alternating order — 1, A, 2, B, 3, C … — switching mental tracks on every single step.
Time Anticipation Test
A green ball flies at constant speed, then vanishes before a marked line. Press at the exact moment it would cross — then point to where. Timing error in milliseconds, position error in pixels, in the style of Schuhfried's ZBA.
Signal Detection Test
Watch a dark field of about 25 small white dots that appear and disappear at random, and press the moment four of them form a square. A practice version of SIGNAL, Schuhfried's signal-detection vigilance test in the Vienna Test System, with the S1 white-on-black and S2 black-on-white forms and a sudden-death Challenge mode.
Number Sequences: Full Test
The full progress test for number sequences — a mixed drill combining 30% easy, 40% medium and 30% hard sequence types to mirror the difficulty level of real pilot assessments.
Number Sequences: Easy
Spot the pattern and predict the next number in short numeric sequences — the foundation for harder sequence tests.
Number Sequences: Medium
Step up from easy — interleaved sub-sequences, alternating operations, squaring and square roots mixed into harder numeric patterns.
Number Sequences: Hard
The toughest sequence test — tribonacci, prime-index jumps, interleaved fractions and powers, and multi-operation chains designed to mirror the difficulty level of real pilot assessments.
Analogies
Identify the missing term that completes the analogy. Choose the Single Word or Word Combination version. Tests your verbal reasoning and ability to spot relationships between concepts under time pressure.
Syllogisms
Read three statements and pick the conclusion that logically follows. Tests your deductive reasoning under time pressure.
Situational Judgement Test
Read realistic cockpit and crew-room scenarios and judge how a professional flight crew would respond. A practice and reflection tool: after you commit, you compare your judgement with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it. Play the classic format, or a chat presentation modelled on Aon's chatAssess.
Hazardous Attitudes
Learn and reflect on the FAA's Five Hazardous Attitudes from aeronautical decision-making training. Rate 25 statements for a per-attitude self-profile, or drill short scenarios: name the attitude a pilot's response shows, then pick its prescribed antidote.
Safety Locus of Control
A self-insight questionnaire based on aviation-safety locus of control research. Rate 24 statements about why flights end safely — pilot skill and preparation versus luck, weather, and the system — and see your Internality and Externality profile with a full per-item breakdown.
CRM Scenarios
Work through evolving flight-deck situations in two or three steps. At each step you choose how to respond as a crewmember, then see how that response would land with the crew and which CRM principle is in play — authority gradient, closed-loop communication, PACE advocacy, shared mental model, workload management.
