Axis Flight Simulation's Virtual Cockpit Procedure and Walkaround headset device
Axis Flight Simulation has introduced its Virtual Cockpit Procedure and Walkaround headset device to provide another element to pilot training.

Axis Flight Simulation today unveiled its Virtual Cockpit Procedure and Walkaround Trainer (VPT). The headset device incorporates virtual- and mixed-reality technology to serve as a standalone training tool or to be used in conjunction with Axis’ full-flight simulators covering tasks such as system familiarization, emergency scenarios, and flight procedures.

VPT incorporates hand- and eye-tracking capabilities to allow users to engage with the information they need for training sessions. Using hand gestures, they can also activate the system’s artificial intelligence “instructor” feature, which answers questions on aircraft systems, controls, and functions with spoken guidance, visuals, and references to relevant sections of manuals.
