Description
TakeFlight Interactive’s automated training platform combines the power of games, AI, and data analytics into a Virtual Flight Instructor (VFI). Running as an overlay on consumer or deployed simulator hardware, the VFI manages the simulator, configures specific maneuvers and scenarios, and directs the trainee via detailed verbal instructions, real-time feedback, and objective grading of pilot performance. Pilots practice and master maneuvers on their own, at their own pace. Aggregated performance data provides for objective evaluation of training progress at squadron, flight, wing and command levels. Deployability across the entire range of simulation hardware, especially low-cost portable systems, radically increases availability of training. Beyond aviation, TakeFlight’s virtual instructor training technology may be applied to any real-time operator station that can be simulated.
