Product Introduction

Exterior walkaround is the first step to ensure the continuous safety of aviation flights and the last line of defense before takeoff. It is an important workflow to visually confirm the overall aircraft and the status of visible components and equipment to ensure flight safety. In addition to flight personnel, the aircrew must also conduct a comprehensive exterior walkaround to the aircraft before each flight. Therefore, comprehensive and efficient flight walkaround training is essential to the pilot training of airlines and flight schools. However, At present, most of the conventional training methods for aircrews are limited to traditional teaching methods. The training cost is high and the cycle is long because of dry theory explanation and experienced pilots' teaching. For items that are easy to miss and difficult to check, teachers lack unified standardization and accuracy standards, and students lack interaction with real cases, leading to poor experience and poor overall training effect.

 

In accordance with the operational training requirements of customer crews, Provide panoramic flight simulation training system VSIM3D.VMT-VR.A32, VSIM3D.VMT-VR.B73, VSIM3D.VMT-VR.C91 for Airbus A320, Boeing B737 and COMAC C919. The system includes VR exterior Walkaround virtual maintenance training equipment (VMT) and VR Exterior Walkaround training course system. The system uses 3D modeling technology and computer simulation as the supporting platform, and combines VR technology to realize "immersive" simulation walkaround. It can meet the flight crew training requirements of all kinds of flight walkaround tasks in accordance with the exterior walkaround procedure in SOP, and provide a new simulation training mode for flight training. Flight cadets can complete exterior walkaround training more intuitively, efficiently and at low cost. At present, the system has been applied in China Eastern Airlines.

 

VSIM3D. VMT-VR panoramic flight simulation training system contains high-precision 3D models and maps to restore the real training environment in the virtual world. Based on the accumulation of several high-level flight simulator research and development experience, the training script is developed in a rapid manner to provide functions that meet the requirements of the teaching course. The software consists of starting interface, training mode, scene database, model database and other sub-modules. The panoramic flight simulation training hardware consists of a professional VR headset kit (HTC VIVE PRO 2.0) and a high-performance graphics workstation.

Product Features

  • The VMT-VR exterior walkaround system provides scenes and models of airports and airplanes required in the winding inspection process. Equipped with HTC VIVE Professional helmet and handle, it can carry out immersive scene experience.

  • The training interaction module independently developed by CnTechis adopted to bring higher cost performance for users. The scene, training mode and interaction mode can also be customized according to the needs.

  • The professional modeling software was used for high-precision modeling of aircraft winding parts, and the detailed data of Airbus A320, Boeing B737, COMAC C919 and other aircraft models were truly restored based on the professional rendering engine.

  • The simulation mode simulates the real behavior of human walkaround, which is simple to operate, fast to handle, and low learning cost;

  • Can provide enterprise training mode, training specific subject selection configuration or customization according to user requirements.

Product Features

VSIM3D. VMT-VR exterior walkaround system virtual scene conforms to the virtual aircraft model and is a perfect representation of the actual flight. It contains the following key functions:

  • Guided teaching mode training:

The virtual teacher in the guiding teaching mode can introduce the inferior walkaround process to the students and explain the inferior walkaround sequence and inspection contents in a standardized manner. The teaching is carried out by combining pronunciation and text.

Product Application

  • Airlines: VMT-VR exterior walkaround system can cover flight crew with full-function exterior Walkaround training.

  • Professional school: according to the airlines for flight crew exterior walkaround the demands of training for professional school set up corresponding courses, by means of virtual reality, assist students exterior walkaround of theoretical study, helps with airlines seamless business requirements.

  • Science popularization education:professional-grade equipment can also be used in science museums, aviation colleges and aviation schools for exterior walkaround experience, aviation science popularization, aviation research and other activities.

Product Advantage

With the development of the scale of China's civil aviation, the number of aircraft fleet and pilots is increasing year by year, and the safety issue before takeoff is particularly important. As the first flight operation safety gate, it is particularly critical in the training process. A high-quality exterior walkaround training software is developed based on the user's requirements. VSIM3D VMT-VR exterior walkaround system can not only provide users with conventional program training, It can also be combined with the real airport environment, sound system, visual system and behavior in a virtual reality way to provide pilots with the necessary situational awareness in training and make the training process more real. The professional design of VSIM3D. VSIM3D exterior walkaround system aims to provide users with better interior walkaround requirements. Realistic training environment can also make virtual training and real training experience more appropriate. Make pilots adapt to the exterior walkaround process in advance and improve the inspection level.
