OVERVIEWIf you've ever wanted to become a pilot in the U.S. military, start here! The U.S. military employs several tests to find the pilots with the best potential, including tests such as the USAF's Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) or the Navy's Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB-E) / Performance Based Measurement Battery (PBMB). Preparation is always the most important ingredient for success, and testing to become a pilot in the U.S. military is no exception. Use a keyboard and mouse or console controller to practice... or, to get as close as possible to simulating the real TBAS, practice using one of the supported HOTAS controllers! With enough practice, you can shine above all other candidates and secure your new career path. This application contains a variety of features to prepare you for your aviation test, including the following test components: DIRECTIONAL ORIENTATION TESTIncluded in both the TBAS and ASTB-E, this test measures and improves your ability to determine your aircraft's heading with nothing but your directional orientation shown on a map. In the test, a map is shown with your aircraft's heading depicted as an arrow. On the right side of the screen is a display showing a top-down visual of buildings from your perspective in the aircraft. Simply select the correct building when prompted based on the directional orientation shown on the map. MULTITASKING TESTIncluded in the TBAS, this test measures and improves your performance under stress, as well as your ability to manage up to four tasks simultaneously: MEMORY TEST: A code containing letters is shown briefly, and you must memorize the contents of the code before it disappears. Letters will appear in a box and you must select a "Check" or "X" button based on whether the letter that appears was in the code. You must make an entry before the time expires. MATH TEST: Addition and Subtraction problems will appear periodically. You must use the number buttons to enter in and submit the answer to the math problem shown before the time runs out. DIAL TEST: A dial on a gauge will periodically creep to the left or the right. Your job is to make sure that the dial stays in the green or yellow bands, and does not enter the red band. RADIO TEST (Speakers/Headphones Required): A voice will speak an audible command. You must remember your "Callsign" and click the proper "Radio Button" when your callsign is called and you are instructed to switch radios. TERRAIN IDENTIFICATION TESTIncluded in the ASTB-E, this test measures and improves your ability to identify your compass-heading based on geographical features on a map. Similar to the Directional Orientation test, the left-hand screen shows a map with "NORTH" always being the top of the screen, and the right-hand screen is your view of the ground from the "cockpit" of an aircraft, with your heading/forward-direction always being the top of the screen. You must determine the compass-heading of your aircraft by cross-referencing geographical features from the right-hand "Heading" screen with the position and orientation of those same features on the left-hand "Map"
