What to try

  • Use the same order every time: heading, then pitch, then bank.
  • Find north on the ground disc in each picture and compare it with where the nose points.
  • The lower wing is on the side of the bank. Nose up lifts the nose above the tail.

Practice tip

Real tests use their own pictures, so practise the method, not the pictures. Rule out two options on heading alone, then use pitch and bank to choose between the last two.
