Aviation Australia to deploy L3Harris’ Virtual Reality Solution to train maintenance crews

Positions Aviation Australia has become the first customer for L3Harris’ Virtual Reality Maintenance Trainer. The company signed an MoU to integrate the trainer into its aircraft technician training programmes.

As a result of this integration, Aviation Australia will be able to deliver more flexible training to students from any location, as long as they have a computer and internet access. Training will not be disrupted – a huge win for the aviation industry massively affected by the pandemic shutdowns.

The VRMT delivers self-paced training simulation outside of a classroom environment. For example, it simulates the experience of maintaining fully-functional flight decks, and allows students to virtually navigate equipment bays, view and remove components and practical troubleshooting in real time.

“Aviation Australia will be able to deliver the newest-generation training expertise to their students anywhere in the world,” said Alan Crawford, President, L3Harris Commercial Aviation. “The flexibility offered by the web-based VRMT enhances the quality and attractiveness of their already prestigious training program.”

“We are delighted to work with L3Harris. This new technology will offer our students best-in-class training in a more flexible and accessible environment,” said William Horrocks, CEO of Aviation Australia.
