Fractional aircraft provider PlaneSense has partnered with VRpilot on a virtual reality-based cockpit procedure trainer for pilots of its Pilatus PC-12 turboprop singles and PC-24 twinjets.

Fractional aircraft provider PlaneSense has partnered with VRpilot on a virtual reality (VR) cockpit procedure trainer for its nearly 300 pilots. The Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based company operates a fleet of 43 Pilatus PC-12 turboprop singles and 14 PC-24 twinjets.

With the VRpilot solution, PlaneSense can efficiently provide in-house cockpit familiarization instruction to new hires and upgrading captains. Dubbed VRflow, the platform will enable the Pilatus operator to add more dimension and functionality to flight crew instruction while also reducing the costs and complexity of training at different locations.
