Spatial Orientation Test

This test measures your sense of orientation. The test will take 3 minutes to complete.

Your task is to identify the position and course of an aircraft relative to a non directional beacon with the aid of a gyrocompass and a radio compass.

Representation:

Each task has a gyrocompass (left) and a radio compass (right). The gyrocompass shows the direction in which the aircraft flies. in the example below the aircraft flies in a northward direction. The radio compass shows which direction the non directional beacon is located in. The radio compass always points to the north, but the arrow shows the direction the non directional beacon is located in always relative to the flight direction/longitudinal axis of the aircraft. In this case, the non directional beacon is exactly on course.

Your task is to determine the position and course of the aircraft relative to the non direction beacon (NDB center of the grid) with the aid of the two compasses. You need to choose one of the four aircrafts below to indicate the course. Your task is to drag the aircraft with your mouse to one of the eight positions in the grid on the left hand side.

Example:

Select the aircraft flying the direction indicated by the GYRO and drag it to the zone indicated by the RBI.

Explanation: The gyrocompass is indicating that the aircraft is flying northwards and the non directional beacon is exactly on course, the correct answer would be to put the aircraft that is directed upwards on position 5

All these information might be confusing at the beginning, but we will explain more in detail during practice section.

A score based on your performance will be given at the end of test.
