In a bid to attract more suitable applicants to become an airline pilot, an online preliminary test has gone viral — and not because of the ease of the assessment.
When it comes to quick reactions and a sense of direction — pilots need these skills in spades. But how would you do taking the initial entry exam?
According to the airline, the assessment is designed to highlight the type of people that can become pilots and encourage more applicants from under-represented groups.This test in particular, focuses on the sense of direction where applicants are shown an arrow indicating the direction a vehicle is heading in from above. You are then shown an arrow after a manoeuvre. Users should memorise the previous driving direction, and select the direction of the manoeuvre from the driver’s view.
While one tests ‘quick reactions’, according to the airline, the other focuses more on an aspiring pilot’s sense of direction. Those trying the test must memorise the previous driving direction, with the task being to decide on the correct direction of the manoeuvre from the driver’s view as fast as possible.
