AFI KLM E&M and Airbus form partnership for virtual engine run-up maintenance training

Applicable to all A320 engine types, it uses high definition immersive 3D simulation and is based on real operational scenarios and in-service aircraft maintenance procedures.

The solution offers a flexible alternative solution to training sessions performed on simulators, facilitating course scheduling and localisation, be it in training centres, in outstations or at the customer's base.

With the new solution, technicians and mechanics requiring to be trained and qualified to perform engine-run-up tests, are able to visualize an A320 cockpit in an immersive 3D environment and carry out the simulated Run up test operations.

The software allows the monitoring of three stations from one PCs: one for the instructor to control the progress of the training performed by the trainees plus one for each trainee (captain & officer) all equipped with 3D goggles.
