The Challenge
Visual Flight Rules Training
In aviation training, what matters most is practical experience. However, real aircraft and flight simulators are not available at all times, places and quantities. The first cross-country flights according to the so-called "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR) - where you fly according to waypoints instead of instruments – are therefore particularly demanding for the student pilots.
How To Use Our First Mobile VR Training Solution
In cooperation with Lufthansa Aviation Training, we developed the first mobile VR training for "VFR" basic training, which is conducted in Phoenix, Arizona.
First Flight Lesson
Using VR glasses, trainee pilots complete a full cross-country flight before their first flying lesson. By using their vision, they can identify waypoints and receive automatic feedback.
In addition, numerous dangerous situations are also simulated.
The Success
Measurable Performance Improvement
Researchers at the Department of Psychology at the University of Berlin monitored and evaluated the training and showed that training led to a measurable increase in performance of 15%.
Cost Saving
The app enables the training to be carried out anywhere and as often as desired at low cost.
