Just boarded @britishairways en route to Texas to visit @usairforce Randolph Air Force Base, where we have “baby” pilots participating in “Pilot Training Next”, using virtual reality to expedite learning - the aim being to get pilots through training quicker. 1/3pic.twitter.com/xCOxh8Gokr
Virtual Reality allows our trainee pilots to complete countless repetitions of certain flying skills, either during the working day, or whilst at home. So far, we see this approach acting as a catalyst to expedited learning and hence, better success during live trg sorties 2/3.
The trick now is to get the synthetic-live training balance correct: it can’t all be done in the simulator. Hence, my visit to the USAF facility at Randolph, where they are leading the way regards use of virtual reality for fighter pilot training. 3/3
There is a growing contingent of young future aviators in the flight sim world, using exactly the same equipment as seen in this picture - myself included 
. Albeit unofficial, a lot of the skills aquired could be transferable. What are your thoughts?
I'm actually surprised Navy or Airforce has not made official moduals for DCS.
Intriguing, is this “normal” for Randolph students or are RAF trialing this out for potential adoption in the UK?
Harv, #IamaDinasaur but, to get pilots through MFTS "more quickly", how about 1) reducing lunatic level of holds from IOT onwards, 2) having a higher tempo of sorties once on a course, 3) more airframes to ensure more on-pan availability?
Many of our Cadet Squadrons here in the UK have been using similar style headsets for several years. They are fantastic. If you get a chance, have a go Sir
