The U.S. Army uses the SIFT (Selection Instrument for Flight Training) as their main exam for candidates wishing to progress to later stages of an Army Aviation career. The SIFT was introduced to replace the older AFAST test.  The AAIT is a subtest of the SIFT Test. It includes 40 questions (time: 30 minutes) that test your general understanding of the principles of helicopter flight and assesses your knowledge of the following topics: Aerodynamics and performance (40%) Rotary-wing aircraft components and controls (40%) Rotary-wing maneuvers and performance (10%) General category...
