Spatial orientation and multi-tasking skills - SkyTest® Preparation Software for VT/MM is updated with a new training module: Walking on Cubes.

In this exercise, a plane proceeds along the faces of a pattern of cubes. Apply a series of movement instructions (provided by voice) on this plane to determine its final position.

Turn-commands will induce a change of heading - and affect the cockpit perspective that guides further orientation. Move-commands will push the plane to an adjacent face. Two additional subtasks add an element of distraction.

Walking on Cubes prepares you for a recent change in the screening process. The new training module is released today and included in any new purchase of SkyTest® Preparation Software for VT/MM (Windows®, MacOS®, iPad®).
