Instrument Scan Challenge BETA

Take a free five-question challenge.

Each question begins with the full panel. On desktop, one gentle upper-panel emphasis makes the magnetic compass and all six primary instruments easy to inspect before returning to the full view. On a phone, four broader close-ups sweep the panel in a Z-shaped pattern twice, so several related gauges remain visible together. The scan rewards quick recognition without rushing past the instruments. The game also spaces out related problem types and remembers recently shown scenarios. Some panels have more than one problem.

• Scan both the primary flight instruments and the engine/system gauges.
• Normal airborne needles wander and the entire panel moves with simulated light turbulence, including an occasional stronger bump. Frozen-indicator scenarios deliberately suppress the affected needle movement.
• After the panel vanishes, select every problem you noticed. Finding at least one real problem makes the round a success; finding all of them earns more points.
• No clues appear automatically. You may replay the panel or reveal flight context, but either aid reduces the points available for that question.
• A complete unaided diagnosis earns 10 points. Partial diagnoses earn proportional credit, unsupported selections cost 2 points each, a panel replay costs 3 points, and a context hint costs 2 points.
• After every answer, you will see what you found, what else was happening, and the points earned.
