Partnering with PKL: Virtual Aerodrome Lab Trainer
November 20, 2023
PKL can offer our commercial aviation customers a Virtual Aerodrome Lab (VAL), which uses immersive technology to reach a potentially unlimited audience of students regardless of geographical location. PKL offers this one-package solution for virtually immersing students in a comprehensive airfield environment without regard to physical classroom environment, location, or proximity to aviation facilities. We use virtual simulation for various positions correlated in the virtual environment.
- Training Capabilities. Our VAL can be easily customized to meet specific needs for vocational training of students to become aviation professionals. It consists of COTS components easily installed in training schools for classroom or remote access.
- Simulation for Role Playing. The training system allows roles and scenarios to be simulated for the purposes of airport flight operations, airport emergency preparedness and crisis simulation.
- Hands-on Training for Emergency Situations. A key benefit of the VAL is the ability to create contingency situations. The VAL can simulate emergency drills such weather, safety, ground traffic, or pre-/post flight discrepancies. Students will have to react to these types of situations, and practice protocols through real-time role-playing.
- Distributed Training. The VAL is a distributed training system connecting multiple stations (in classroom or remotely) over a shared network, allowing stations to participate in the same training scenario.
- Instructor Controls. The Instructor Station UI serves as the central point of control for the VAL. The instructor is provided functionality to create scenarios by defining the weather conditions, ground conditions, time, wind direction and flight schedule.
- Terrain and Visual Database. Each scenario created in the system is associated with a specific airport/airfield. The terrain and visual database typically contain data for the following:
- Main Buildings and Hangars
- ATC Tower, Runways, and Taxiways
Our VAL Training Solution is designed as a remotely accessible, networked learning delivery program that appeals to the needs of today’s learners as shown below:
