Baltic Ground Services (BGS) Group, part of Avia SolutionsGroup, plans to offer virtual reality (VR) -based training as an additionalservice in the market. When it comes to strictly regulated activities, such asaircraft ground handling, where speed and safety are top priorities, VR standsout as a perfect technology to train operators in a nearly real-lifeenvironment. While VR is nothing new in pilot training, for ground handling itis still a novelty.
“Virtual reality training in ground handling is a new trend,and we are amongst the pioneers developing it,” says Konradas Dulka, head ofBGS Group IT Business Solutions.
Virtual reality becomes a bridge between the theoreticallearning and the field practice, and it increases the speed and quality of thetraining.
According to Paulius Miezelis, BGS head of Training, byusing virtual reality environments, trainees can repeat same complex tasks andsituations without needing to wait for another aircraft turnaround and canrepeat the training until they are entirely confident to try operations inreality.
“This minimizes theprobability of mistakes. Also, there is a possibility to simulate extraordinaryand extreme situations, eliminate the noisy environment of the airport, whichdisturbs trainees during the training,” states Miezelis.
BGS already created aircraft walk around inspection andfuelling VR training modules. By the end of the year, the company will addaircraft de-icing and anti-icing VR training modules.
“We are striving to create not only a simulator forprocedures but also a tool with analytics integrated, which will allowmonitoring the efficiency of the trainee,” adds Dulka.
