PKL Produces Simulated Pre-Flight Inspection Demonstration for Local Flight Training School
August 24, 2020
PKL recently produced an innovative pre-flight inspection simulation, called “The Pre-Flight Challenge,” for regional flight training school, Flex Air. Operating from airfields in San Diego, Texas, and Kansas, Flex Air is a 2019 AOPA Distinguished Flight School with a cutting-edge vision for future flight training.
Partnering with our simulation expert, ST Engineering, and Flex Air’s President and CEO, Mr. Paul Wynns, PKL created a virtual aerodrome experience with life-like renderings of a Cessna 172, parking apron, taxiways, and hangars–to immerse users in an authentic airfield environment. We then virtually replicated a point-to-point pre-flight inspection checklist procedure, in both tutorial and assessment modes with real-time progress feedback, creating a multi-sensory experience for prospective flight school students.
PKL Training Manager, Ms. Kim Robling, believes this project further demonstrates the broad application, and tangible value, of PKL’s trademarked training system, OmniSpec. “The distinguishing quality of OmniSpec is our ability to create blended learning regimes, from traditional classroom to mixed reality courseware, and then integrate those regimes with active learning nodes ranging from instructor centered (push) to student centered (pull). This is how we create local, on-demand, and fully customized training solutions for our customers.”
