20 Extra Minutes Per Simulator Session

Maximize hands-on practice while minimizing reliance on costly aircraft time.

CHALLENGE

Blending Tradition Methods with Innovation in Training

Aviation training is moving forward quickly, but there is still a clear gap between theory and the cockpit experience. While the industry is finally embracing digital tools, many programs still rely on methods that feel outdated in today’s world, and the high-end simulators we need are often overbooked. The challenge is clear: how can we take the traditional training techniques that we know work and successfully integrate them into a modern, digital environment?

STUDY

Testing SOP Learning

To evaluate the effectiveness of digital training, Panomio researchers tested a Cockpit Procedure Trainer (CPT), built using Panomio for immersive training, with 20 MPL students at Lund University of Aviation. Four students practiced SOPs in the virtual cockpit of the CPT on their tablets, while the other 16 followed standard methods using the "Paper Tiger" and OTD. Both groups were then tested on SOP knowledge and performance, with feedback collected from students and instructors.

SOLUTION

Cockpit Procedure Trainer

Students using the CPT performed just as well as those trained with traditional methods. Users praised its flexibility, clear step-by-step guidance, and easy access. By reducing the need for additional simulators and OTD sessions, it also saves time and cuts costs. It offers an efficient way to keep training consistent by allowing students to practice anytime, anywhere.

Key benefits

Make learners an active part of the training process

No extra simulator sessions

Pilots arrive better prepared, reducing time spent on basic tasks during simulator time.

Lower training costs

By reducing dependency on OTDs and extra briefings, airlines save on training expenses.

Extra 20 minutes of simulation time

Pilots using CTP complete tasks faster allowing them to free up 20 extra minutes for advanced procedures in the simulator.

Increased flexibility

The digital trainer works on standard devices allowing pilots to train from home without requiring specialized equipment.

Proven success rates

Pilots trained with CPT achieved the same high performance levels as those trained with standard approach.

Reduced instructor workload

Self-directed learning frees up instructors to focus on advanced topics and personalized coaching.

CONCLUSION

Shaping the Future of Pilot Training

Panomio brings together the best parts of traditional training and modern technology. In this study, students using the CTP performed just as well as those in standard training programs. With its clear structure, flexibility, and mobile access, it helps learners build confidence while saving time and costs. It proves that digital tools can do more than support pilot training. They can transform it into a smarter, more scalable solution for the future of aviation training.
