ST Aerospace unveils maiden virtual reality pilot training tool in Singapore

It’s designed to emulate a conducive environment.

ST Engineering’s aerospace arm plans to elevate its pilot training standards as it introduces the city-state’s first virtual reality training simulation tool for pilot training.

According to a press release by ST Aerospace, the tool will enable more effective traning without the constraints of space and mobility currently faced by simulator rooms.

“Through this virtual reality tool, the cadet pilot donning a set of virtual reality goggles, may be immersed into a virtual cockpit environment for the procedural training component of the MPL programme. It enhances the entire learning process, which would eventually lead to better trained pilots,” the press release said.

According to ST Aerospace president Lim Serh Ghee, the firm is still exploring immersive technologies to enhance its training value chain.

“We are certainly excited to be the preferred training partner to airlines around the world, and are fully committed to producing the most competent pilots for this industry,” he said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
