Episode 80 of The Virtual Reality Podcast with Fexingo explores how VR flight simulators are transforming pilot training for both commercial airlines and the military. Lucas and Luna discuss CAE's latest VR-equipped training device, the FDA's recent certification of a full-flight VR simulator for type-rating, and the economics behind cutting 40% of traditional training hours. They examine a real case study from United Airlines' Aviate program, where cadets now log 50 hours in VR before touching a real cockpit. The conversation also covers how Airbus and Boeing are integrating VR into their own training curricula, and what this shift means for safety, cost, and pilot shortages. Specific numbers and company names ground the discussion, including CAE's $0.5 million per unit device vs. $15 million for a full-motion sim, and the FAA's updated advisory circular AC-120-XX on VR training. #VirtualReality #VRTraining #FlightSimulation #PilotTraining #Aviation #CAE #UnitedAirlines #Airbus #Boeing #FAA #TypeRating #Immersion #Simulator #Training #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ImmersiveTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
