Key Takeaways:
Pilot training company CAE is developing an augmented reality (AR) system, utilizing Apple Vision Pro, to supplement traditional pilot simulator training.
The high-fidelity system allows trainees to manipulate virtual flight deck controls and view instruments in real-time, helping them practice critical procedures, develop muscle memory, and familiarize themselves with aircraft from any location.
Described as "startlingly realistic," this AR solution, currently fully developed for the Bombardier Global 7500 and adaptable to other aircraft, is intended to enhance pilot homework tasks and procedure mastery without replacing full flight training hours.
