Aviation Maths numerical reasoning
Twenty questions that get harder, set in aviation situations such as fuel, bearings and wind.
- Questions
- 20, in three levels
- Marks
- 50
- Time
- 30 minutes
- Score
- A Sten from 1 to 10
Three levels
Core
Five questions, one mark each. Speed, distance and time, simple percentages, averages and unit conversion.
Applied
Ten questions, two marks each. Fuel use, bearings, groundspeed, rates of climb and descent, and fractional times.
Complex
Five questions, five marks each. Multi-step problems with wind, fuel reserves, round trips and time zones.
What the candidate does
-
Start
The 30 minute clock starts with the first question.
-
Work through the levels
Questions go from Core to Applied to Complex, and marks per question rise with the level.
-
Submit
The paper is submitted when the candidate finishes, or automatically when the time runs out.
-
Report
The PDF report breaks the score down by level.
What the report shows
The report gives the Sten with its band, the overall score out of 50, and the marks earned at each level.
These pages are from a sample report for an invented candidate.
Fairness and consistency
- Questions are generated from templates with fresh numbers for each sitting.
- A refresh or a dropped connection brings back the same paper and answers, and the clock keeps running.
- The clock runs from the server, so a wrong time on the candidate's computer changes nothing.
- Marks rise with the level, so a hard question is worth more than an easy one.
For schools and airlines
- Assign the module to a cohort, set how many attempts each candidate gets and watch each one's status live.
- Download each candidate's report as a PDF with your name and logo, or export the whole cohort as a CSV.
- Reset the module for a candidate with a recorded reason when a technical fault interrupts them.
Questions
How many questions and marks are there?
Twenty questions worth 50 marks: five Core questions at one mark, ten Applied at two marks and five Complex at five marks.
What topics does it cover?
Speed, distance and time, fuel, bearings and compass turns, percentages and ratios, unit conversion, wind and groundspeed, and time zones.
Is the paper the same every time?
No. Each question is built from a template with fresh numbers, so every sitting has different figures.
What happens if my connection drops?
When you sign back in you are offered the same paper with your answers, and the clock has kept running.
Does AviMetric decide who passes?
No. AviMetric reports a Sten score and a band. Your selection team makes every decision.
