Dubai-based Dynamic Advanced Training has partnered with VisionSafe to use its Emergency Vision Assurance System (EVAS) in training for a potential blinding smoke emergency. VisionSafe’s EVAS enables a pilot to view instruments and flight paths when smoke in the cockpit compromises visibility.
“EVAS is critical to cockpit safety and its importance is best seen during a true situational and real-life flying simulation,” said Chris Skurat, v-p of sales and strategic partnerships at VisionSafe. “Dynamic Advanced Training has developed a game-changing training experience that entertains while you learn and offers this in a [modern] facility.”
Dynamic Advanced Training provides reality‐based training to prepare pilots for worst-case scenarios. “By creating and facilitating realistic scenarios, including all sensory inputs, aircrew are motivated to mesh knowledge and motor skills and be able to confidently apply this when a situation calls upon it,” said Mark Kammer, operations director for Dynamic Advanced Training. “The conventional attention and focus on cockpit fire/smoke training is fairly modest. Therefore, we have equipped our full-motion cabin simulator with EVAS for pilots to experience blinding cockpit smoke and learn how easily and effectively installed units can mitigate what may otherwise be a catastrophic event.”
More than 8,000 EVAS units are installed in aircraft worldwide, according to VisionSafe.
