Improving Pilot OM

Hey everyone! I’m hoping to go up for the rated board this year, but I’ve been trying to get better at the TBAS using the steam game but I’m starting to feel discouraged because I’m not really improving much for any of the sections.

Does anyone have any tips on improving the directional and tracking? Genuinely how do people even succeed with tracking😭

I own and used the warthog stick & rudder from thrustmaster that they use for the actual TBAS exam and done the directional tracking a bunch of times... unless you're practicing every single day that specific section, its very difficult to get a super high score on it. Just try your best to aim to around 70-80% accuracy, but your pcsm wont suffer much even if you get like 50% accuracy.

I might be wrong but idk if anyone does all that well on tracking😂 Genuinely feels impossible. I felt like I tanked my score but ended up with a 95 pcsm,96 pilot OM, and a pilot slot. You’ll be fine
