Flight Control Test

01. Overview

The purpose of this test is to measure your eye, hand, and foot coordination.

Your goal is to counteract multi-directional drift and stabilize the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) needle on zero and keep the Slip Ball centered.

02. Instrument Calibration

VSI Needle Alignment: Tap or hold W to drive the needle UP. Tap or hold S to drive it DOWN.

Slip Ball Centerline: Counteract horizontal sliding drift using your horizontal Left Arrow / Right Arrow keys.
