Summary: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” –Albert Einstein
When we talk about the advancement in systems automation, whether it is a smart phone, computer system or an aircraft system, the rate of change is so quick that any failure or problem in these sophisticated systems takes a longer time to resolve than the time it has taken to create them.
During an aviation occurrence, Investigators are involved to identify the root cause when a failure occurs in an aircraft that had an impact on safety of passengers or operations of an aircraft. Investigators’ have to understand the complexity of multiple systems that sometimes are interdependent and may function simultaneously to identify the root cause. Modern techniques and tools are being develop to support training for such complex systems.
The aviation industry is utilizing augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence for systems failure analysis and training proficiency skills in various sectors such as Air Traffic Services and Management, Aircraft Simulator training, Flight Crew Safety training and training in Aircraft Maintenance and the sophisticated training methods are not limited to these areas.
