Using Augmented Reality and Virtual Realtiy in Flight Training | MentorLIVE Ep. 88

This presentation explores the role of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in aviation training. We will discuss how these cutting-edge technologies create immersive, interactive environments for pilots during flight training. Attendees will learn how VR and AR improve safety, reduce training costs, and enhance skill retention through realistic simulations, scenario-based training, and hands-on virtual experiences. Real-world examples and practical implementation strategies will illustrate how these tools are revolutionizing the aviation industry.

Presenter: Greg Reverdiau has been an aviation professional since the early 2000s. He currently holds the following FAA certificates: Certified Flight Instructor, Commercial Pilot (for single and multi-engine), and UAS Remote Pilot. He has worked for two of the biggest aeronautical universities in the country (managing flight training programs of up to 500 students and 50 aircraft) and in teaching roles as assistant professor and program chair. He now concentrates on educating the next generation of manned and unmanned pilots by creating online courses. Pilot Institute has trained over 100,000 Remote Pilots to date and over 340,000 pilots on manned and unmanned topics. Greg holds a Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Science and a Master’s Degree in Aviation Human Factors, both from the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL.
