NLR can help optimise aircraft maintenance training, enabling technicians to spend less time on training and more time on the job, while improving their competency levels. This leads to a reduction in aircraft on ground (AOG) costs and overall maintenance expenses, resulting in a more efficient and effective maintenance process.
Training by means of augmented reality in the classroom brings various additional advantages:
- More knowledgeable maintenance technicians reduce aircraft on ground costs.
- Effectively combining theory and practice shortens overall training time, thereby lowering trainings costs while increasing the availability of maintenance technicians.
- A far more attractive classroom-based training, increasing learning speed.
- It eliminates the need for a real aircraft on the ground, reducing training scheduling complications and corresponding costs.
NLR can support you with:
- A new training method using augmented reality (AR) for aircraft maintenance training (developed in cooperation with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines).
- Providing an AR application that adds interactive holograms to the learning environment, reducing the need for a real aircraft.
- Offering implementation guidelines and integration support for the AR training method.
- Enabling the display of aircraft parts in the classroom, with simulation and interactive exercises to study their behaviour.
- Allowing students to examine complex components in detail, including large components or inaccessible systems, through animated and annotated models.
- Facilitating collaborative learning, where students work together in groups to solve problems, increasing training effectiveness and competency.
