Denmark – VRpilot, a leader in virtual reality-based pilot training tools, has released a comparative overview highlighting the advantages of VR over traditional procedure training tools. The evaluation underscores why an increasing number of airlines are adopting VR for cockpit familiarization and procedural training.

• The comparison benchmarks VR systems against Part-Task Trainers (PTTs), static cockpit posters, and traditional Computer-Based Training (CBT).

• VR was the only platform to fully support:

  • Training guidance

  • Muscle memory development

  • Training feedback

  • Immersive visuals and sound

  • Enclosed cockpit-like environment

  • Accurate control positioning

  • Virtual crewmember interaction for self-study

  • Remote training and company SOP references

  • Data capture for training analytics

  • Portability and cost-effectiveness

• In contrast, PTTs and static trainers scored significantly lower, especially in areas such as feedback, portability, and SOP integration.

• VRpilot emphasizes that selecting the right training medium impacts safety, learning efficiency, and operational readiness.
