Flight Training Adelaide - Anyone been through there testing for Diploma course??
Hi guys,
I have applied for the Diploma in Aviaiton offered by FTA in order to qualify for FEE HELP. I received an email today. Below is information on the testing. Does anybody have any advice on the type of questions asked or just any input into the way it is conducted? Many thanks!!
Maths and Physics test: This is a one hour test and candidates can bring their own calculator. On the back on the test is a conversion table to help you.
Trax: ‘Trax’ is a computer-based pursuit-tracking task modelled on the concept of flying along a spiral path. ‘Trax’ requires adaptation to the dynamics of the three-dimensional flying environment. As such, the test assesses a combination of psychomotor co-ordination, spatial and information processing abilities.
This test is carried out by an experienced flying instructor and assessments are made of the candidates psychometric skills attributes, including spatial awareness, anticipation, reaction, accuracy of control inputs, rate of learning, maintenance of concentration, level of surplus mental capacity, levels of anxiety and general hand/eye coordination.
Spatial Reasoning: This is a paper-based test designed to measure the candidates’ ability to think spatially. The test measures a candidate's ability at recognising the sequence of complex patterns, and the results of this test have a high degree of statistical correlation with pass results in Ground School examinations. Percentile scores are derived by comparing the candidate’s results with the results of pilot candidates from major airlines trained by Flight Training Adelaide. The results are represented as the statistical Percentile of that airline population."
