Global aviation training provider CAE has become the first to develop an immersive pilot training app for Apple Vision Pro.
CAE’s Apple Vision Pro app, currently showcased at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada, could be a game-changer for pilot training.
By using spatial computing to bring true-to-life precision to flight deck interactions, the app will allow pilots to remotely complete training activities that are currently only available in training centres.
As part of CAE’s training ecosystem, the app will not only further increase the effectiveness and speed of training pilots safely but will also enable pilots to train anytime from anywhere.
Emmanuel Levitte, CAE’s chief technology and product officer said: “This Apple Vision Pro app developed by CAE will allow pilots to familiarize themselves with the flight deck, practice critical procedures, and develop muscle memory for key functions from anywhere.
“It will allow pilots to engage with realistic flight deck environments to further ensure they are ready for their full-flight simulator sessions and become even better prepared for any situation.”
Alexandre Prévost, CAE’s division president, business aviation training said: “The power and unique capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, combined with CAE’s training environment, will give pilots more flexibility and better prepare them for the transition from ground school to the simulator.
“With CAE’s Apple Vision Pro app, we are not only providing our customers more convenience but are also enhancing training efficiency at a time when the aviation industry faces an increased need to train new pilots.”
