Aviation simulation is evolving fast. From VR and mixed reality to spatial disorientation training, AATDs, part-task trainers and Evidence-Based Training, this article explores the technologies, regulatory shifts and training trends shaping how operators prepare pilots and crews for what comes next.

Army aviation collective training depends on crews and units operating effectively as one. This article explores research from the U.S. Army Research Institute on key training challenges, simulation capability and utilisation gaps, fidelity requirements, and how better use of simulation can strengthen readiness across complex aviation missions.

A 48-hour simulator outage costs far more than lost session revenue. Idle instructors, lapsed crew currency, rescheduling overhead, and reputational damage rarely appear on a maintenance invoice but they are just as real. Here is what unplanned downtime actually costs training centres when you account for the full picture.

We're changing it up a little today. With this blog post we're going to be separating aviation fact from fiction in the sim bay - let us know if you like the format and we can do more like this in the future. Most people outside this industry have no idea how hard it is to keep a multi-million dollar simulator running like clockwork. To a passenger, it’s a big box on legs. To a pilot, it’s their sweat box for the day. But for the technicians, engineers and managers behind the

New flight simulator technicians face a steep learning curve. From complex visual systems to critical QTG preparations, "learning by osmosis" is no longer enough. Explore how targeted micro courses provide the specific, practical knowledge new hires need first to ensure safety and reliability.
