Where can I practise aptitude tests for free?

Brain Preflight gives you 5 free exercise sessions immediately and 5 new sessions each day on iPhone. Choose any exercise available in your selected language, without a purchase or subscription. Use this allowance for arithmetic, memory, logic, spatial reasoning or attention, depending on the assessment you are preparing. The free plan may display ads; Premium is optional.

Explore pilot and ATC practice routes

How should I use my 5 daily practice sessions?

Try one arithmetic, one memory and one spatial or attention session, then use the remaining two sessions on the skill where you made the most useful-to-review mistakes. After each session, identify whether the issue was a rule, accuracy or pace. This is a suggested routine, not a recruiter’s required preparation schedule. Adjust it to your own invitation and feedback.

How do I prepare for a pilot aptitude test?

Identify the assessment named by your airline or school before choosing exercises. DLR, COMPASS, SPHAIR and other routes have different requirements. Use the relevant guide to connect mental maths, memory, spatial reasoning, mechanical comprehension and tracking practice to your preparation. Keep language, aviation knowledge, interviews and medical requirements in separate study or application tasks.

Build a DLR preparation routine

Are pilot and air traffic control aptitude tests the same?

No. Some cognitive skills overlap, but the assessment system and recruitment process matter. FEAST is used in air traffic control selection, while FAA applicants should follow ATSA guidance. A pilot selection invitation may instead name DLR, COMPASS or another battery. Start from your actual assessment, then choose related app exercises rather than assuming one routine covers every route.

Understand FEAST and official familiarisation

What is the difference between SPHAIR and DLR?

SPHAIR combines screening with a flight-course route; DLR provides a separate aptitude assessment and certificate. For Swiss training applications, the acceptance of a certificate depends on the provider’s current requirements. Compare the stages and certificate conditions before choosing your preparation. In Brain Preflight, select the corresponding programme and review the related cognitive and technical exercises.

Compare the SPHAIR and DLR routes

How can I practise mechanical comprehension?

Work through one principle at a time: gear direction, lever moments, pulleys, springs or pressure. Predict the result and explain why before checking the solution. Brain Preflight includes mechanical comprehension in English, French and German. The linked guide contains original worked examples you can try now and explains how these skills fit SPHAIR and DLR preparation.

Practise mechanical questions with answers

Does the app use official selection test questions?

No. Brain Preflight uses its own exercises to practise related skills. Its levels and mock-exam routines are practice formats, not official ratings or admission predictions. Use the recruiter’s resources for the real instructions, equipment and selection stages. Each detailed guide links official sources and explains the limits of the app’s coverage for that route.

Can I practise aptitude exercises offline on iPhone?

Yes. Installed Brain Preflight exercises work offline, so you can continue practice away from a connection. Download and open the app beforehand and make sure the exercises you need are installed. Purchases, rewarded ads and other online services require internet access. Choose exercises available in your selected language when planning your daily allowance.

Compare mobile access and practice coverage

Do I need to pay for aptitude test preparation?

You can start Brain Preflight’s daily allowance without paying: 5 sessions immediately and every day. Whether you need another resource depends on the subjects, equipment and stages in your selection. Compare coverage before buying a course or app, and use official familiarisation where available. Optional Brain Preflight Premium adds unlimited sessions, ad-free practice and detailed diagnostics.

Does a high practice level mean I will pass?

No. An app level reflects performance within that exercise and does not equal an official test score, certificate rating or hiring decision. Use practice feedback to find recurring mistakes and decide what to revisit. Read the requirements for your own selection and prepare its other stages independently, including any language, interview, knowledge or medical requirements.
