Wizz Air is striving to be the first to use technology controlled by virtual reality in its pilot training, the airline said in a press release.
According to the announcement, Wizz Air is using the cloud-based Mobile Airbus Training experience (MATe) Suite package developed by Airbus and the Virtual Procedure Trainer (VPT) technology in its pilot training.
MATe Suite is a cloud-based service platform that includes e-training and exams tailored to various pilot categories. VPT’s innovative software trains the students with the help of a virtual cockpit, giving them the opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with Airbus aircraft and to practice the most important operations at a skill level.
The two new training solutions – the introduction of which was also approved by the Civil Aviation Supervisory Authority Department – provide an opportunity to acquire even more comprehensive knowledge in the Wizz Air training center and support the pilots participating in the type training course.
