Simulation

The Australian company formed a partnership with Dynamic Advanced Training to launch a simulator program.

Microsoft Flight Simulator can be used to try a 700-foot turn back at engine failure as much as you want with risk only to your pride.

Aviation gaming simulation offers familiar views that rival the real thing.

Gaming simulation can demonstrate how inflight icing affects the flying ability and aerodynamics of the aircraft under variable conditions.

The state-of-the-art equipment will help accommodate 300 students per year, according to European Flight Academy.

FlightSafety International and GE Digital have teamed up to share flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) data from actual flights to inform instructional programs at the training provider. Under the agreement, GE Digital provides C-FOQA with insights derived from that data from corporate operators to FlightSafety. Then, FlightSafety will integrate those insights to enhance its training […]

Holograms, used for decades in the entertainment industry, may soon become part of the aviation training environment thanks to a team of students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott. The students are part of ERAU’s Simulation Science, Games and Animation program. Over the summer, the student team developed augmented-reality (AR) holograms, creating 3D models of the […]

Those who do good in the world sometimes don’t seek fanfare or accolades for their actions—the value in them lies solely in the ability to help others achieve their goals. A quiet donation to the Central Florida Aerospace Academy made by Honeycomb Aeronautical—a flight simulation controls manufacturer—is one example. No press release went out, no […]

European regional airline KLM Cityhopper, a division of KLM, announced last week that it is now employing an in-house developed virtual reality system to train pilots on the Embraer 175 and 190 aircraft. KLM said in a news release that Cityhopper “is the first airline to integrate VR into its pilot training for Embraer aircraft.” The company […]

LaGuardia, New York-based Flight Safety International, in collaboration with IBM, yesterday unveiled a new, fully-integrated training tool called FlightSmart that employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to evaluate a pilot’s ability as they perform critical tasks and maneuvers during all phases of flight. The new product is an attempt to leave qualitative-based instruction behind in […]
