I just took the ASTB. Here's exactly what to expect. The water is dark with white horizontal lines running through it and the land is rocky and textured with a definate ledge (it looks like you took the point of your pencil and made a bunch of little dots on the land.... stippled or pointalism for you artist). The ledge is a little wavy. The plane looks like a detailed T-34??? with paint markings and everything. As for the attitudes, things are way more complicated than the ARCO. First off, some of these forums lead me to believe there was inverted flight so I studyed it. There is no inverted flight. There is however quite a few flying into the land examples. The Arco is all out to sea. You will also see extreme banks, dives, and climbs. Sometimes they will give two planes that are banked right and climbing with one plane banked slightly more than the other. Depending on the degree of bank in the horizon you have to pick between two seemingly right answers. The biggest difference I saw was the amount of 45 degree into shore examples. The Arco just gives you level flight no bank examples of the 45 deg. The test will give you 45 degree into shore steep climb banked left etc. Definately make your own flash cards for these. There were a bunch of them. Here are a few quick tips. If you planes nose is left and you see the top of the plane you are banked left. If nose left and you see belly, banked right. Nose right and top of plane, banked right. Nose right and belly, banked left. Flying along shore and you see tail, the bank is the direction that the tail points. Flying along shore and you see nose the bank is in the opposite direction (these are tricky watch out for them). If anyone has any more spacial questions fire away.
