Global Flight Academy

Note: This is a duplicate of our article which provides preparation information for the Global Aviation assessment, provided for ease of access to those candidates who search for Global Flight Academy.

Established in 1997, Global Aviation SA, also known as Global Flight Academy, is a flight training organisation located in Greece.

Aspiring pilot candidates that wish to undertake their ATP Integrated course must undertake a computerised pilot aptitude test.

For more information, please visit www.globalaviationsa.com.

All pilot aptitude tests aim to assess the same key core skills required to complete pilot training successfully and/or operate an aircraft competently and the COMPASS test is no different.

The assessment of skills such as multi-tasking, spatial awareness, memory capacity, hand-to-eye coordination and mental arithmetic cannot necessarily be assessed within one test and therefore a pilot aptitude test is commonly separated in to a collection of tests, organised in to a battery and completed by the candidate in one sitting.

Global Flight Academy utilises a computerised pilot aptitude test known as COMPASS to assess aspiring pilot candidates as part of their assessment process.

The COMPASS test battery incorporates the testing of hand-to-eye coordination, mental arithmetic, memory recall, multi-tasking, spatial awareness and orientation in space, verbal reasoning and understanding of physics (science).

Specifically, your COMPASS test battery will be comprised of up to 9 individual tests, described in detail below with recommendations:

Our software may be used, and in particular, those activities listed below, to aid in your preparation for this assessment.

Since 2013, the online preparation software provided by PilotAptitudeTest.com has been traditionally used by a substantial number of pilots and pilot candidates attending assessment at many different flight training organisations and airlines across the UK, Europe and beyond.

Should you be unsure as to how to proceed with your preparation, please get in touch.

Additionally, we would encourage candidates to speak with us via WhatsApp Messenger, Facebook Chat or Email so that we may be able to answer any queries you may have.

The COMPASS test battery that you will face at assessment with Global Flight Academy may assess your abilities in hand-to-eye coordination, mental arithmetic, memory recall, multi-tasking, spatial awareness and orientation in space, verbal reasoning and understanding of physics (science).

We recommend using the content shown below to tailor your preparation specifically for the COMPASS computerised pilot aptitude test.

Num Reasoning (Type 1)

Numerical Reasoning 1 analyses your ability to interpret information, using figures, tables, graphs and statistics and come to conclusions on the data, just like CEB.

Num Reasoning (Type 2)

Numerical Reasoning 2 analyses your ability to interpret information, using figures, tables, graphs and statistics and come to conclusions on the data, just like CEB.

Verbal Reasoning 1

Our verbal reasoning content, organised by excerpt, accurately mimics the questions posed in a large majority of pilot aptitude and psychometric tests, including CEB/SHL, Talent Q, COMPASS and Cut-E.

Verbal Reasoning (Type 2)

Our verbal reasoning content, with multiple passages per test, accurately mimics the questions posed in a large majority of pilot aptitude and psychometric tests, including CEB/SHL, Talent Q and Cut-E.

Control

Control assesses and enhances candidate ability in hand-to-eye coordination and selective attention using multiple control axes and visual cues.

MultiTasker

Encompassing multiple tasks in to one activity, MultiTasker assesses and enhances candidate ability in multi-tasking, hand-to-eye coordination and selective attention

Guidance

Tasking the candidate with controlling multiple intermittently changing datums, Guidance assesses and enhances selective attention and hand-to-eye coordination skills.

Mental Mathematics

Our mathematics database, organised in to easy, medium and hard difficulties, accurately mimics the questions posed in a large majority of pilot aptitude tests.

Bearings

Bearings assesses user understanding of their position in physical space, known as spatial awareness, using common flight instruments.

Flight Director

This highly accurate test simultaneously assesses and enhances multi-tasking, hand-to-eye coordination and memory capacity skills.

Adjust

A challenging activity, Adjust assesses multi-tasking, spatial awareness, hand-to-eye coordination, selective attention and mental mathematic skills.

Memory

Memory assesses selective attention and memory capacity skills, tasking the candidate with efficiently memorising and inputting four sets of data repeatedly.

Orientation

Orientation assesses spatial awareness and selective attention skills, by tasking candidates with identifying friend or foe aircraft.

Bearings

Bearings assesses user understanding of their position in physical space, known as spatial awareness, using common flight instruments.

Align

Multi-tasking activity with three different activities which must be monitored and successfully completed simultaneously. Horizontal and vertical control mode are provided for practice.

Spin

Rotating tube containing a variety of different two-dimensional shapes, which must be correctly navigated (or flown through) to ensure continued progression through the tube.

Tracking

Tracking assesses and enhances candidate multi-tasking and hand-to-eye coordination skills with the use of two control axes controlled by opposing inputs.

Science

Our science database, organised in to easy, medium and hard difficulties, mimics the questions posed in a large majority of pilot aptitude tests. Feedback provided on answers.
