To enhance the training GreyBird Pilot Academy offers to pilots, they’ve decided to work with VRpilot. This Danish company offers VRflow, a procedure VR training platform. The new platform should complement the APS MCC, airline pilot standard multi-crew cooperation, course that GreyBird offers to pilots. Students in Denmark, Sweden, and Spain benefit from the VR addition to the course.
GreyBird Pilot Academy offers various courses to pilots and have now decided to add a virtual reality module to their program. To offer VR, GreyBird has decided to work with VRpilot’s VRflow, a procedure VR training platform. The platform will first be used for their APS MCC course on the Airbus 320. The course is available in all countries GreyBird covers: Denmark, Sweden and Spain.
VR training platform makes training more efficient
With addition of VR to the course, students can train all kinds of situations in their profession as a pilot, without being in these situations. This makes training easier, less costly, and less dangerous. Thomas Eriksen, Chief Flight Instructor at GreyBird Pilot Academy, says: “VRflow lets us offer students at all our bases a great and efficient tool to train procedures and prepare them for the APS MCC course in our A320 simulator.”
He continues: “The remote training capabilities of VRpilot’s product enables us to conduct remote training sessions between students and instructors, no matter where they are located.” Daniel Maass, CEO at VRpilot, adds: “We are excited to provide GreyBird Pilot Academy with modern training tools ideal for their multi-base operation. We are confident that our remote multi-crew feature will benefit students, instructors and their operation as a whole.”
GreyBird Pilot Academy will deploy VRflow for iPad to its students when they reach the APS MCC part of their ATPL, Airline Transport Pilot Licence, education.
