EasyJet has launched a new aptitude test to encourage more people to consider becoming an airline pilot - and you can now have a go on its website.
The online test assesses some of the key skills required to get into the cockpit such as a sense of direction (click here to try) and reaction speeds (click here to try).
The sense of direction test presents an arrow showing the direction a vehicle is heading in from above. You are then shown an arrow after a driving manoeuvre.
Users should therefore memorise the previous driving direction, and their task is to select the direction of the manoeuvre from the driver's view as fast as possible.
The reaction speed tests involve seeing two symbols appear in screen, with applicants required to press 'equal' within five seconds when the pictures match.

The campaign was launched last Wednesday with a 'talking' billboard, featuring a real-life easyJet pilot strapped to a billboard in London.
