An aircraft- and flight-themed puzzle book compiled by Dr Gareth
Moore, author of the bestselling Mindfulness Puzzle Books among
many others, done with the support of The RAF Association, a
membership organisation and registered charity that has been
providing welfare support to the RAF family for over 90 years.
Their membership of 74,000 includes serving RAF personnel, veterans
and members of the public. Pilots need to be able to think quickly
and react immediately to unexpected, complex situations. This book
consists of puzzles that test a wide range of skills that might be
expected of a pilot. The book's five chapters cover: Cognitive
challengesPuzzles which require the reader to solve logic puzzles
of a range of types, testing many different types of reasoning
skill. Just as pilots have to do, the puzzles require readers to
focus on both the big picture - what they are trying to achieve -
and the small picture of each individual deduction or decision.
Survival skillsThe challenges in this section are all about speed.
No complex logic is required, but all of the puzzles must be solved
as quickly as possible - though without making any mistakes. This
reflects a pilot's need to make quick, accurate decisions while
flying. Visual abilitiesThe puzzles in this part of the book test
3D manipulation and other visual transformation skills, mirroring a
pilot's need to be able to understand the world around them as more
than just a flat picture. Memory testsDespite the advanced
abilities of modern devices, it's still important to be able to
maintain a ready awareness of the current situation and active
goals, and so in this section the reader is helped to practise and
improve their memorization and recall skills with a series of
simple games. Knowledge trainingIn this section a reader's
knowledge of the real-world aircraft and situations that the RAF
and other air forces has handled is tested, with a range of
quiz-related questions that are sometimes solved by cracking codes
so that readers aren't required to have any specialist knowledge to
take part. This section also includes specific tasks such as
navigation.
