Visionary Training Resources: the Future of Flight Training for Airlines & Pilots

Revolutionizing Pilot Training Has Never Been So Easy

The airline industry is transforming. We’re transforming how airline pilots are trained.

VTR for Airlines

The airline industry is in the middle of a perfect storm. Pilot retirements, growing fleets, and record hiring has created stresses on the training pipeline that are not sustainable. Airlines can’t keep digging up parking lots to add more capital intensive simulators. They must use their existing training facilities more efficiently. Providing pilots with the ability to learn flows, procedures, and checklists before the training center allows airlines to get much more actual flight training done in the simulator.

VTR for ATOs

FlightDeckToGo™ is a game changer for the ATO training syllabus. Our platform allows pilots to learn flight deck orientation, flows, procedures, and multi-crew operations from anywhere anytime. Using the latest technology such as eye tracking, your graduates will be taught good habits from day one. VTR has solutions to fit all ATO needs, from basic flight deck familiarization to airline-specific tailored flows and checklists.

TRAIN ANYWHERE.

ANYTIME.

FlightDeckToGo™ changes everything. Learning is not limited to the training center or sitting in front of a wall-hung poster. Our platform allows pilots to learn flight deck orientation, flows, and procedures from anywhere, at any time.

Independent studies show those who harness VR resources for training learn faster and retain more knowledge than with traditional learning platforms.

Our Technology

Our technology is industry leading. We have decades of aviation training experience and design our programs to the exacting standards that we ourselves demand in a professional product.

Mobile

FlightDeckToGo™ is a completely untethered VR training device. No computer, no wires, no wi-fi required. Train anywhere…at any time!

Proprietary Flight Decks

VTR flight decks are 100% proprietary and are not derived from consumer-grade games. Every VTR product team is composed of professional developers and pilots. We build each flight deck from the ground up using our decades of professional aviation experience to provide the most accurate flight decks available

Standardized Procedures

Imagine having every one of your pilots trained by your best instructor. With FlightDeckToGo™, all users get the same standardized training in every session, learning exactly what you want them to learn, customized to your specifications. Standardization starts on day one!

Eye Tracking Visual Task Training

FlightDeckToGo™ uses true visual eye tracking mapped to specific targets for those procedural steps that require visual verification. Never before have we had the ability to verify students were looking exactly where they need to look. Incorporating this leading edge technology, FlightDeckToGo™ teaches pilots where to look and then verifies they do so when required.

Virtual Instructor

Think of it as your best instructor teaching every student, every session, every day. This leads to a level of standardization not possible using traditional training methods.

Data Capture

Organizations are able to collect data directly from the headset for analysis and AQP requirements. How long does it take to learn each flow/procedure? How accurate are our pilots at performing each flow/procedure? Flight Standards now has the powerful tools to design and then validate procedure/flow design.

MDM and LMS Integration

FlightDeckToGo™ hardware and software is managed remotely via a robust mobile device management system. It interfaces with learning management systems (LMSs) allowing for simple integration into existing platforms.

VTR User Support

User support is available via our Support Page.

“I’ve been teaching in simulators for 4 decades. One third of the time in the simulator is spent just getting comfortable, learning where things are, learning flows, and not flying. If the students came to the simulator already comfortable in their new environment, we could spend much more time up on motion, flying, running non-normals, and practicing CRM.”

Captain Mike Barksdale

UAL/CAL (retired)

“Research has shown aviators trained with the help of 3-D environments were able to maintain better situational awareness and improve skill performance, long term memory, retention and recall ability.”

Lori Brown

Associate Professor, Western Michigan University (VRARA White Paper)

“Learning all the flows and procedures at home, before going to the simulator, is a game changer! FlightDeckToGo will undoubtedly make training on a new aircraft less stressful and frankly more enjoyable.”

“I had a preconceived notion of what Virtual Reality looked like, but the VTR headset, combined with the hand controller, is beyond your notions. I was instantly transported into the intricate details of a commercial airliner flight deck. The handset allowed me to move through the systems, flipping switches and going through preflight flows while the eye tracking made sure I didn't skip anything. Pilots are visual learners so one minute in the VTR is equal to an hour of classroom lecture and it creates stronger muscle memory by allowing pilots to put this visual training into their brain muscle reflexes. This is revolutionary for pilot training and the smart flight departments will see the safety and cost benefits of using the Visionary Training Resources tools. “
