Samenvatting:

This paper examines a relatively new computer based training system called Immersive Learning Simulation (ILS) which shows great signs of cutting training time. Many reasons exist to examine the question of whether or not ILS would save time and money if applied to aircraft maintenance training in the Air Force. For instance, using actual military aircraft to train maintenance technicians is a costly proposition. Although hands-on training is necessary, and will be for the foreseeable future, our current computer systems running ILS software could provide realistic training. Immersive Learning Simulation has the potential to provide cost savings, time savings, and increased aircraft and parts availability over more traditional methods of training.
