Hi all.
Ive been practicing on SkyTest Pan Asia for the Spatial Orientation test.
I think I understand what the test is asking.
For the Gyro part it asks for the direction of the plane. And you click the appropriate picture from the bottom right.
For the RBI part. I'm more confused.
I understand that it doesn't rotate. So it will always have NORTH at the top. REGARDLESS of what direction you are ACTUALLY going.
So the idea is to rotate the RBI in your head to match the Gyro. So if the Gyro is facing SOUTH then on the RBI. You rotate in your head the RBI so 0degree is South. Then look at where the arrow is pointing from this new position.
But I have no idea how I got one of these 2 questions correct and other incorrect? Can anyone give an opinion???
In the first pic. Plane is heading EAST. So plane icon facing to the right of the window.
So RBI rotated so N is at East. (as per the overlayed Blue letters)
Which puts the beacon directly BEHIND me in the WEST. Hence my choice of Box 5
But in this one. Plane is Heading South. Plane Icon pointing to bottom of screen
Rotate RBI so N is facing South. (see blue letters)
RBI is off to my right at roughly 45 degrees
so I chose box 2
Which was wrong
Thanks everyone
