Flight Capacity
Flight Capacity measures your ability to control an aircraft while handling multiple tasks at the same time.
What is Flight Capacity?
This is the most advanced multi-tasking module. It simulates a cockpit environment where you must maintain flight parameters using a joystick while simultaneously managing visual memory, spatial awareness, and auditory processing tasks.
1. Flight Control (Joystick)
- Control Heading, Altitude, and Speed using the joystick and throttle.
- Move left/right for heading, up/down for pitch (climb/descend).
- Pitch changes affect speed; use the throttle to compensate.
- Reach target values to receive new instructions.

Number Memory & Spatial Tasks
- Number Memory: Remember green 5-digit numbers that appear during flight. Enter them when the test pauses.
- Spatial Keypad: Press the matching key when a square in the 3x3 grid lights up yellow.

Auditory Number Task
- Listen to spoken numbers while flying.
- 3 even numbers in a row: Press Button A.
- 3 odd numbers in a row: Press Button B.
How to Prepare
- Scanning: Develop a cross-check scan pattern between the cross and the numbers.
- Anticipation: Move the joystick slightly before the cross reaches the edge.
- Calculations: Keep your mental energy focused on the math during stable flight.
