Module Breakdown

What Do the Compass Test Modules Measure?

Compass performance is built from multiple sub-tests rather than one score alone. Understanding what each task reveals helps candidates train in a much more targeted way.

This page is designed to help candidates understand the test logic more clearly. Official process details and module emphasis can change over time.

Control and slalom

These tasks reveal hand-eye coordination, tracking quality, and how quickly you can correct your path without losing control.

Task manager and memory

The multitasking and short-term memory side shows how well you process several signals at once without letting the scan pattern collapse.

Spatial orientation

This module reflects how accurately you can interpret instruments, relative position, and heading logic under time pressure.

Is one module more important than the rest?

Usually the whole profile matters more than one isolated result.

Do all airlines use the same battery?

No. The package can vary, even when the underlying logic stays similar.

How should I order my preparation?

Single-skill work first, combined workload second usually produces cleaner progress.
