COMPASS is a Computerised Pilot Aptitude Screening System
How it works
After a very short briefing, candidates are placed behind the COMPASS PC and the system guides them through all aptitude tests automatically, using on-screen instructions. Before each test, a short practice run is provided to the candidate. Tests include visual and audible elements as well as physical inputs using a joystick and rubber pedals.
After all the tests have been completed, an automatic scoring and analysis report is available immediately. This report can be printed, if required. The test results provide clients with a clear picture of the candidates’ performance, his strengths and weaknesses as well as the overall indication of flying aptitude. The report is designed to be easily interpreted by non-expert staff.
