Training Technical Group Webinar: Can Synthetic Coaching Using an Immersive Training Device Effectively Train Student Pilots? A Field Study

Presented by the Training Technical Group

The study presented today is part of a validation effort to determine the extent to which AI-driven simulation-based instruction can alleviate pilot training pipeline pain points experienced by many militaries around the world. The main objective was to verify the training benefits of synthetic coaching, feedback, and biometrics using an immersive training device. Results are presented in terms of both technology acceptance and training effects over time to achieve the desired proficiency level across basic pilot maneuvers.
