AirVenture 2026: Using VR to Accelerate Flight Training

Fri, Jul 24 · 1:00 PM1:45 PM (Central — Chicago)
NAFI Booth, EAA AirVenture, Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, WI 54902

For decades, CFIs have relied on simulators for a narrow set of training tasks: basic attitude instrument work, emergency procedures, and select IFR skills. Valuable, yes, but limited. High-fidelity virtual reality is changing that equation entirely. With affordable VR now widely accessible, flight training no longer must stop when the student leaves the airport. CFIs can assign structured VR sessions between lessons, allowing students to repeat maneuvers, build muscle memory, and develop spatial awareness in an immersive home environment. No more waiting a week for the next flight to refine slow flight or nail a pattern entry. This presentation explores how VR functions as a powerful continuity tool, bridging the gaps between lessons with purposeful, guided practice in slow flight, stalls, traffic pattern work, navigation, and emergency procedures. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for integrating VR into structured training plans, enabling students to progress faster, retain more, and arrive at each lesson truly ready to fly.
