Japan Airlines (JAL) has become the first A350 operator globally to sign up with Airbus for the computer-based A350 Virtual Procedure Trainer (VPT). This training tool offers an immersive and interactive environment for practising critical flight procedures and emergency scenarios.

A350 VPT

JAL’s adoption of the A350 VPT comes as the airline extends its partnership for the use of the MATe suite (Mobile Airbus Training experience) for systems training and practice. With this integration, JAL now benefits from the full spectrum of Airbus flight training solutions, leveraging the latest training concepts and technologies to enhance training efficiency and knowledge retention. The airline’s inaugural group of trainees on the A350 VPT comprises twelve pilots. This five-year initiative reflects JAL’s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety and operational excellence. The Airbus-developed VPT provides realistic virtual environments tailored to the airline’s specific models, making it invaluable for enhancing pilot proficiency and preparedness. Its flexibility allows for training at any time and location, reducing disruptions and offering significant cost-efficiency by minimising training expenses and aircraft downtime.
