After 6 months of working on this program, the ultimate tool for preparing for the Performance Based Measurement Battery (PBMB) or Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) is finally released! The first version of this program comes with a variety of features:
- Directional Orientation Test Practice: Improve your directional awareness! Present in the TBAS and PBMB.
- Multitasking Test Practice: Improve your memory, fast math, and overall multitasking ability! A test present in the TBAS.
- Aircraft Tracking Test Practice: Improve your ability to track multiple objects and respond to prompts simultaneously! Currently supports Thrustmaster HOTAS Joystick and Rudder Pedals, as well as keyboard and select controllers! The Aircraft Tracking tests features 5 sub-tests: Reticle Tracking (Present in TBAS & PBMB), Pedal Tracking (TBAS), Throttle Tracking (PBMB), Listening Test (PBMB), and Emergency Test (PBMB). You can practice these tests individually, or simultaneously with other tests in the "Mode Select" menu.
- Comprehensive Tutorials: This program makes it as easy as possible to go in blind, and quickly get a feel for the mechanics of each test.
- TBAS and PBMB Assessment Modes: Built from publicly available information on the mechanisms of the real TBAS and PBMB, the Assessment Modes play select tests together in sequence and score your performance on them, as if you were taking the real thing.
- History Statistics: View your performance improvement across various assessments in the "Stats" screen. In the screen will be information such as the date of previous assessments, your scores, and which scores on which test sub-components were your all-time best.
This tool aims to be the first and final destination for all of your TBAS or PBMB preparation needs. There are updates in the works to refine the look and feel of the program, as well as adding more controller support at the community's request. If you feel the program is missing something (e.g. more supported joysticks/controllers or more options), suggest a feature in the TBAS Study Pro Steam Community Hub page and I will do my best to respond.
