What makes a great aviation maintenance training solution
Hands-on learning for better retention
- Practical skill development: Choose a platform that lets students practice essential maintenance skills, not just navigate the software. The training should help learners build confidence in locating components and tackling complex maintenance tasks.
- Meaningful and repeatable lessons: Look for tools with advanced 3D graphics and high-fidelity simulations. This allows maintainers to practice routine troubleshooting in a virtual setting, making real-world tasks smoother and safer.
- Guided learning: The training should guide students through scenarios, prompt actions, and provide feedback. This keeps learners engaged and enhances their ability to handle real-world situations effectively.
Customization, configuration, and content
- Tailored learning experiences: Ensure the content is customizable to fit various learning needs, from short modules to comprehensive courses. This flexibility helps learners progress from basics to advanced topics at their own pace.
- Role-based configuration: Set up the system for different user roles—students, instructors, authors, and training managers—to keep everyone focused on what’s relevant to their role.
- Organized lesson playlists: Allow instructors to create tailored programs for individual students and use real engineering models for accurate simulations across various aircraft.
User-friendly and interactive interface
- Intuitive UI: The interface should be easy to navigate, enhancing the user experience.
- Engaging design: An engaging platform built on behavioral psychology and game design principles, featuring large, realistic visual elements for enhanced clarity and user experience.
- Future-proofing: Make sure the product can be updated and enhanced to meet evolving needs.
