Inlusion demonstrated its de-icing/anti-icing virtual reality training program last week at I/ITSEC in Orlando, Florida. The simulation program was created for Baltic Ground Services.
The program simulates the aircraft de-Icing procedures inVR, including liquid spray, lifting platform control and communication withother staff. Students can practice in two different modes: a full-trainingprogram or an examination mode. In the first mode, the user is guided throughthe procedure by a visual hint system with the ability to make mistakes. Inexamination mode, the hint system is absent; the user must make his owndecisions and act as he was trained.
After completing the simulation, users can view the resultsof their performance, showing the amount of liquids and the places that weresprayed on each separate part of the plane.
This VR training tool was developed to fill the gap betweentheoretical and practical training of de-icing staff. It’s estimated that afterpracticing de-Icing in VR, trainees will need up to 50% less practical trainingon actual operations. This will save instructor time, additional personnelinvolvement in training, and other resources required for training.
During unlimited VR training, trainees can practice their spraying skills and learn the optimal trajectory of spray, so less actual liquid can be used in the real-life procedure. It is estimated that approximately 1000 L of de-Icing fluids can be saved during the cycle of one person’s training, which consists of 10-20 practical operations.
