Two three-dimensional figures are shown at different angles. Decide whether they are the same shape rotated, or mirror images. A core spatial-ability task in pilot selection.

This measures three-dimensional spatial visualisation: turning an object in your mind to see whether two views match. It underpins reading instruments, models and charts that show the world from a shifted viewpoint.
Pick one stand-out feature of the shape and follow where it points after the rotation. If that feature can line up, the figures match; if it never can, they are mirror images.
Mental rotation is one of the most studied spatial skills and links closely to flying performance. It improves with practice, so steady repetition lifts both your speed and your accuracy.
Aptitude tests get you through selection. The EASA ATPL theory exams come next, and SkyStudy is built for that phase.
SkyStudy is built for EASA ATPL exam preparation, with an ATPL question bank, timed mock exams, spaced repetition and analytics across every subject. Free to start, no card needed.
