The Airbus-developed VPT provides realistic virtual environments tailored to the airline’s specific models, making it invaluable for enhancing pilot proficiency and preparedness. Its flexibility allows for training at any time and location, reducing disruptions and offering significant cost-efficiency by minimising training expenses and aircraft downtime.
Hiroshi Horikawa, Flight Training Vice President at JAL said: “Integrating the A350 VPT into our training curriculum will significantly elevate the quality of our flight crew training and enhance JAL’s commitment to safety. We are excited about this new chapter in our collaboration with Airbus.”
