simulator training
Virtual practice sessions
Simulator training is instruction that uses a realistic imitation of equipment, vehicles, or environments to develop skills without real-world risks or costs.
Pilots practice emergencies in flight simulators; surgeons rehearse procedures on virtual patients.
The airline requires annual simulator training for all pilots.
The approach allows repeated practice of dangerous or rare scenarios that would be impractical to encounter naturally.
