Step into the future of ground crew training with the VR Training Simulation for Airplane Parking. This immersive simulation is designed to train staff in a realistic, hands-on virtual environment that mirrors the complexity of real-world aircraft docking.
Key Features:
- Real-Time Distance Detection: Integrated with an ABD sensor, the simulation accurately tracks the distance between the aircraft and the jetbridge. A control panel allows users to start and stop the docking process, ensuring precise alignment every time.
- Interactive Obstacle Challenge: A movable suitcase acts as an unexpected runway obstacle, testing users’ situational awareness and reaction time. Stay alert—keeping the path clear is part of the job.
- Immersive, Real-World Environment: Experience a life-sized apron area with realistic physics and visuals. The accurately modeled environment and ABD sensor replicate the conditions of an actual airport runway.
