Cadet Pilot: Aptitude Test — Pilot Aptitude & Cognitive Evaluator Your airline pilot dream starts with the right preparation. Cadet Pilot is a pilot aptitude and cognitive training app that prepares you for the SkyTest and PACE assessments used in airline pilot selection. Every module is modeled one-to-one on real exam experiences — the same task types, the same time pressure, the same scoring logic you'll face on assessment day. You don't practice a rough imitation; you practice the actual test. TWO TEST SYSTEMS IN ONE APP Switch between the SkyTest and PACE test batteries and train the exact format each assessment uses — so nothing on exam day feels new. WHY REPETITION WINS Success in pilot selection isn't luck — it's a skill you build. The candidates who improve the most are the ones who practice most often. In Cadet Pilot your performance is measured over time, and the more frequently you repeat the modules, the sharper your attention, memory, and psychomotor speed become. Consistent repetition and rising scores go hand in hand — turn training into a daily habit and watch your results climb. TEST MODULES covering the core areas assessors measure: • Sustained Attention & Vigilance • Verbal and Visual-Auditory Memory • Cognitive Agility (rule-switching under pressure) • Spatial Orientation (2D & 3D) • Information Perception & Processing (divided attention: gauges + mental arithmetic) • and more TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Detailed performance analytics reveal your strengths and exactly where to focus next — session after session. Prepare like it's the real thing. Download Cadet Pilot and start building the cognitive edge that sets successful candidates apart. https://www.onyxup.net/aeropace/privacy Subscriptions: - weekly/2.99USD - monthly/6.99USD - 3 month/19.99USD
