Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the aviation industry, and it’s no different when it comes to pilot training. With the ever-growing demand for pilots, the industry has had to find new and innovative ways to train future pilots.
As the world of aviation continues to evolve, Leading Edge Aviation wanted to adapt the way in which we train the pilots of tomorrow. At Leading Edge, we recognize the vital role technology plays in enabling our students to become skilled commercial pilots. Our innovative training programs utilise cutting-edge technology to augment traditional flight training methods, helping our students to realise their full potential.
Our Technology
At Leading Edge Aviation, we’re committed to using technology to provide our students with the best possible training experience. Our training programs are designed to leverage the latest technology to help students develop the skills they need to become successful pilots –
-
Virtual Learning Environment:
Our training programs use interactive and engaging digital resources to make learning more effective and efficient. Students have access to a range of content, including the use of our Virtual Learning Environment, the VLE features study content for ground school, briefings for flight training, in addition to reference guides and question banks. Providing our students with the best learning content and formats to support their training programme.
-
Personalised Learning:
With technology, we’re able to tailor our training programs to meet the individual needs of our students and different learning styles. Our students have access to a range of online tools and resources that use gamification to track their progress, so that both students and the training team can track course progress and identify any support needs.
-
Sustainability:
In addition to the benefits of interactive and personalised learning, technology can also help reduce the carbon footprint of our training programs. By leveraging digital resources such as our VLE and iPads we’re able to streamline the learning experience, minimise the need for paper-based materials and help to reduce our impact on the environment.
The Role of Technology in the Future of Pilot Training
Technology is set to play an increasingly important role in the future of pilot training. The aviation industry is already seeing the benefits of using technology to train pilots, and this trend is set to continue. Here are some of the ways in which technology in our training is shaping the future of pilot training:
-
Advanced Simulators:
The use of advanced simulator technology is becoming increasingly common in pilot training. This technology allows pilots to experience a range of scenarios in a safe and controlled environment, which can help to prepare them for real-world situations. Leading Edge Aviation’s state of the art Airbus A320 and Diamond DA42 simulators are used as a training aids throughout the whole training experience.
-
Virtual Reality:
Augmented reality and virtual reality technologies are being used to create immersive training environments that simulate real-world conditions across the whole industry. This technology can help to improve the quality of training and make learning more engaging and effective. At Leading Edge Aviation, we’ve also developed a VR Airbus A320 flight deck procedure trainer in collaboration with Playko Software. This immersive experience allows our students to engage with the Airbus cockpit, learn the roles of pilot monitoring or pilot flying to accelerate to their learning, build confidence and develop procedural knowledge, all before they’ve even set foot in a simulator.
