Airline Adopts Virtual Reality for Crew Training

Visionary Training Resources (VTR) has announced a new partnership with Kalitta Air to support training across both its Flight Operations and Maintenance divisions. The agreement will deploy VTR's FlightDeckToGo virtual reality (VR) platform across Kalitta Air's Boeing 777 fleet, providing training for pilots and maintenance technicians.

For Flight Operations, FlightDeckToGo will help Kalitta's pilots familiarize themselves with the B777 flight deck through guided in-headset instruction, allowing them to learn and rehearse procedures and flows before entering the simulator.

For maintenance training, VTR's platform will provide virtual environments that support engine start training and abnormals without the need for access to the simulator or actual aircraft.
