This free COMPASS preparation runs in the browser, with nothing to install. The sample modules are the first level of each task, so you can see the controls and the pace before the full preparation software.
COMPASS is the pilot aptitude battery from EPST. Etihad uses it in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Flight Training Academy uses it in Dubai, and Transavia and SpiceJet’s cadet academy sit it as well, which is the same battery applicants prepare for at Smartwings, Virgin Australia, Air Astana, Copa, and Akasa.
This is independent practice built by ATC Preparation. It is not the official COMPASS test, and we are not affiliated with any airline.
