Im retaking the TBAS test because I really messed up the directional orientation test.  Does anyone know how to describe what to do here.  The only public image is attached.  What is the white arrow on the camera view? I realize I would be heading 180 and that is why the S (180) parking lot is straight ahead on the camera view.  Image the "North Parking Lot"  why wouldnt it be the actual marked north lot?  Anyone have another example to make my brain realize what they are asking? 

I know this topic is other forums but they didnt help me much.  Thanks in advance I appreciate it.

Directional Orientation Test
Measures spatial orientation abilities. Participant must determine a UAV’s position relative to a target. Test simultaneously presents a "tracker map" which shows the location and heading of the UAV; and a forward field of view, as seen through a fixed, forward pointing camera of a UAV, which shows a single building surrounded by four parking lots. Task is to click on the parking lot that a computer generated voice instructs. Example: Image the west parking lot. There are 48 questions.
Scores: Combination of accuracy and speed of responses.

the picture says "image the north parking lot" so the arrow is pointing to it.

Image the "North Parking Lot" why wouldnt it be the actual marked north lot?

It isn't the actual north lot?

Can't give you other examples. Can't really even say what I already did.

Look at the provided map. The yellow or white directional indicator does not indicate the direction of viewing, rather, it depicts the opposite. Imagine that the yellow or white line projecting from your red dot is your 'afterburner' and the opposite direction is your heading. Now look at the unmarked parking lots; given the map showing your heading, which parking lot would be N,E,S, or W?

The parking lots are marked though?  I understand the way the left map works, as i would be on a heading of 180 departing from the North.  it seems to easy to just pick the North labeled lot (on the right map), I took the test a year ago and got messed up becuase it got confusing and didnt now exactly what they were asking at a certain point.  What is the white arrow on the left side maps?? Are they both the "afterburner" or direction of flight.  Can you think of another example that is a bit more wierd, talk me through it?  I Appreciate it greatly.

Ok, I can't see the picture you're referring to, but there is one here: http://www.wantscheck.com/PilotSlot...fault.aspx
That's the one I'm using.
So look at the left map. Remember, the yellow indicator is your afterburner. Given that, you seem to be heading due South. Alright, easy--let's look at the other map. I know it has N,S,E, and W marker already, but ignore that. If you were flying due south, and you encountered a hospital with four parking lots as shown, the farthest lot from you would be South--Does that make sense? You're basically putting yourself in the eyes of the camera mounted on your UAV.
Next example--Let's say you're heading SW. At a diagonal heading, the parking lots are going to appear to form an X rather than a cross (like in the example). Ok, pretend you're flying straight SW still, and you're staring at that X shape formed by the parking lots around the hospital. The one to the left of center, farthest from you, would be South, and the one right of center, farthest from you, would be West. I wish I had a picture to show you, but that should help you understand.
For practice, go ahead and take a sheet of paper, and draw your cross shape parking lots, like the example, and draw some X shaped ones as if you're approaching from a diagonal heading. Give yourself a random heading, and then pretend you're in the eyes of your UAV, just like a parking lots you would see on Google Earth or something. Does that help?

Hey dudes...please watch what you're saying on the TBAS here. I'm not sure what is allowed or what isn't but some users feel the info on this page is pushing the limit. Please provide the source for information provided here or it will be deleted in the coming days.
