Umzimba wemoto ojwayelekile unamakholomu amathathu, ikholomu engaphambili (ikholomu A), ikholomu ephakathi (ikholomu B), ikholomu engemuva (ikholomu C) kusukela phambili kuya emuva. Ezimotweni, ngaphezu kokusekela, ikholomu idlala indima yohlaka lomnyango.
Ikholomu engaphambili ikholomu yokuxhumanisa engaphambili kwesobunxele nakwesokudla exhumanisa uphahla nekhabhini engaphambili. Ikholomu engaphambili iphakathi kwegumbi lenjini kanye ne-cockpit, ngaphezu kwezibuko zesobunxele nesokudla, futhi izovimba ingxenye ye-horizon yakho yokujika, ikakhulukazi uma ujika kwesobunxele, ngakho-ke kuxoxwa kabanzi ngayo.
I-Engela lapho ikholomu engaphambili ivimba khona umbono womshayeli kumele icatshangelwe nalapho kucatshangelwa i-geometry yekholomu engaphambili. Ngaphansi kwezimo ezivamile, umugqa wokubona womshayeli ngekholomu engaphambili, ukugqagqana kwe-binocular I-Engela yenani eliphelele ingama-degree angu-5-6, kusukela ekududuzeni komshayeli, uma i-Engela egqagqana incane, kungcono, kodwa lokhu kuhilela ukuqina kwekholomu engaphambili, hhayi nje kuphela ukuze kube nosayizi othile wejiyometri ukuze kulondolozwe ukuqina okuphezulu kwekholomu engaphambili, kodwa futhi nokunciphisa ithonya lokuvaleka komugqa wokubona womshayeli, kuyinkinga ephikisanayo. Umklami kumele azame ukulinganisela kokubili ukuze athole imiphumela emihle kakhulu. Embukisweni Wezimoto Wamazwe Ngamazwe WaseNyakatho Melika ka-2001, iVolvo yaseSweden yethule imoto yayo yakamuva ye-concept SCC. Ikholomu engaphambili yashintshwa yaba yisimo esibonakalayo, esifakwe ingilazi esobala ukuze umshayeli akwazi ukubona umhlaba wangaphandle ngekholomu, ukuze indawo engaboni yensimu yokubona incishiswe ibe yincane.
