Virtual Reality in Aviation Training

The purpose of this article is to present the meaning of virtual reality in civil aviation; in particular its beneficial impact on the environment and the ever-increasing influence on training strategies. VR is an interactive virtual reality environment created to train professionals in a safe and engaging virtual space. 3D solutions for virtual reality training arc specially designed to meet the needs of training in various cases, specific to professional training. The system provides basic information helpful in making decisions in the aviation industry and the academic environment. The article uses empirical methods to demonstrate the effectiveness of training using VR tools in comparison with traditional training methods. Modern virtual reality duplicates the handling of aircraft with a high level of fidelity and offers a way to speed up the operator's experience, which can be more effective than regular training. For example, the instructor can choose harsh weather conditions, the exercises can be repeated, and the registration can be saved in a later analysis of the results. Aircraft crews may also experience system failures and operational conditions that would be too dangerous to perform aircraft exercises. The aviation authorities have established international rules to ensure that virtual flight crew training conducted by different organizations meet an approved safety standard. These standards are designed to ensure not only a consistent regulation of virtual simulators and training standards around the world, but also enable manufacturers to create VR that is compatible with different systems, encouraging competition and ensuring quality. Virtual Reality is constantly rising an imagination and the human potencial. For engineers it is only a tool for creating a new reality. For consuments it is a new world, alternative place where they could lead a different life. VR is different from reality however it creates oportunity to perceive situations possible to happen [3]. Depending on how deep user is able to be transfered into a virtual world there are types of virtuality. VR - virtual reality, it is a computer programme stimulating basic human senses. VR looks like a reality, You can feel it like a reality with Your senses but still it is not a real environment. The biggest advantage of VR is a similarity to the real conditions. This advantage is the main couse that a VR is used in a real tasks simulators. Virtual reality enables an interaction between user and VR environment, however it is possible only by using a dedicated tools.
