Compass Testing. Not every piece of info, but enough.

First, coordination test. Joystick, pedals, up and down arrow for airspeed. Get a good position for your arm. You are to follow the + type flight director. If you overcontrol, the airspeed will decrease/increase. The trim only goes to 2 ball widths out of trim. Not a tough exercise for helicopter drivers.

Then came the other tests, ALL TIMED:
Basic math, long division, multiplication, some word problems, associative, cummulative properties. Thank God I've been doing math with my 5th grade son.
Memory test with the following format

Altitude
Heading
Speed
Radar Alt

They give a value next to 2 or 3 of them, then you type in what it was with the applicable A,H,S,R then hit enter. You have to hit that number within 3 seconds.

3 dimensional bearing off a center point. It has a plane with relative acft position to the center point, a pointer relative to pitch up/down/left/right, and a relative pointer to N/S/E/W. These are all superemposed over a grid around the centerpoint. you must figure out which one is correct. Do as many in a certain time period.

Autopilot operation that tells you an altitude, heading, speed changes. You must use the +/- for altitude, left/right arrows for heading, up/down arrows to change speed. They want you to change each to reflect the requested part of the screen, to the changable part of the screen. At the same time they have 2 blocks at the top about 2x2in that is black and will turn 1 part red corresponding to the 1-9 on the numberpad(You have 3 seconds to do this). You change them, hit enter and it goes to the next change. Time limited also.

30 questions, general aviation. This is basic, but confusing if you haven't studyed this.

ex: What is the most effective way to stop a plane on a dry runway

Spoilers, thrust reverser, or anti skid breaks

When flying under a cumlonimbus cloud what will you get

a down draft; an updraft,downdraft, followed by an updraft; a downdraft,followed by an updraft, followed by a downdraft.

If you are going to descend from 38,000ft to 8,000ft. how many miles will it take @3degrees

60nm, 75nm, 100 nm
