The Web-Based Procedure Trainer is a versatile, cloud-based training
platform designed to help aviation professionals master essential
flight procedures from any location. It provides an accessible and
user-friendly interface for learning, practicing, and refining both
normal and emergency flight operations, making it an invaluable
resource for flight schools, airlines, and individual pilots. This
online trainer delivers a robust, interactive experience without the
need for expensive hardware or specialized equipment. Trainees can log
in from any web-enabled device to engage with detailed procedure
simulations, complete guided lessons, and track their progress.
Virtual procedure trainer for flight simulators: Increasing the
experience of the pilot training process
The Virtual Procedure Trainer (VPT) developed for Axis Flight Training
is an innovative virtual (VR) and mixed-reality (MR) solution that
improves pilot efficiency through the provision of a realistic training
cockpit. Once the VR headset is put on by the cadet, he is taken to the
virtual hangar ready with an aircraft and where the procedure menu and
other settings as well as procedure onboarding are available in an
intuitive interface. This setup fosters a structured, easy-to-navigate
learning environment where pilots can master both simple and complex
procedures with high precision.
Key features and advantages:
Realistic cockpit simulation: Step directly into the cockpit,
assuming the captain's seat, where interactive guidance (arrows,
tooltips, and highlights) leads users through each step,
reinforcing learning and building muscle memory.
Enhanced navigation & procedure controls: The cockpit menu allows quick
access to checklists and lets pilots view, repeat, or jump to specific
steps, ensuring each training session is highly targeted.
Dynamic copilot functionality: When two-pilot coordination is required,
our virtual copilot automatically engages, creating a realistic team-based
training scenario.
Advanced gesture controls: With controller-free hand interactions, pilots
use intuitive gestures:
Voice-activated AI Assistant: Pilots can verbally query the AI assistant
anytime for in-depth explanations, making complex manuals easily accessible.
Web-based trainer: the procedure trainer is available at any time, everywhere
from a browser.
This comprehensive virtual trainer combines hands-on practice with
guided support, enabling pilots to refine procedures, practice teamwork,
and enhance recall—all within a fully immersive, controller-free
environment. Experience the future of flight training with unparalleled
realism and convenience
The pilot puts on the VR headset, then we can start the application.
Once the loading screen disappears, the pilot will find himself in our
waiting room. It is placed in a hangar with a view to the C350 plane.
The user has a menu placed right in front of him, where he can select
which procedures he would like to start.
There are some other options too, like accessing settings, taking a look
at the onboarding cards, where he can learn more about the interactions,
visual guidance’s, etc.
When a procedure is started, the pilot finds himself in the cockpit as
the captain of the plane. With the help of arrows, tooltips and highlights
the pilot can execute all the steps of the selected procedure.
He has an option to use a menu in the cockpit as well, where by selecting
the checklist menu item, he can take a look to the remaining steps and
also to the steps that he has already done.
It is possible to jump to particular steps, to be able to memorize the
steps even better.
We have a copilot too, so if any procedure needs the cooperation of the
2 pilots, our partner will also do its job and complete the steps of
the procedure.
AI assistant: There is an option to speak with our AI assistant at any
time too, which can answer our questions about the airplane manuals.
You just need to make a call gesture with your hand, ask the questions
and put down the phone!
We've got different hand interaction methods, that are helpful in
order to not use any controller during the training. The following are
the used gestures:
Pinch Gesture
The pinch gesture serves as the primary action for users. It
activates UI elements and is utilized throughout the training
process in the virtual space to execute necessary operations and
interactions. Pinch to navigate, select, and manipulate objects
within the interface.
Fist Gesture
The fist gesture enables users to navigate within the virtual space.
By clenching their hand into a fist, users activate movement
controls. Moving the fist forward, backward, or side-to-side
initiates corresponding movements. To stop or complete navigation,
simply release the fist.
Palm Menu
Users can activate the menu by turning their palm towards
themselves. The menu provides access to important features for the
user, such as Tutorial, Checklist, or returning to the main page.
Utilize the menu to access various functions and navigate through
different sections effectively.
Call Gesture
The call gesture allows users to request assistance from the JARVIS
virtual assistant. To perform the gesture, extend your thumb and
pinky finger. This action triggers a microphone icon, indicating
that JARVIS is listening and ready to respond to your voice
commands. Use the call gesture whenever you need help or guidance
during the training process in the virtual space.
