VR SOP Training for Aircraft De-Icing Operations

Safe, consistent winter operations under time pressure

De-icing requires correct fluid selection, safe vehicle positioning and accurate documentation—often in bad weather. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your ramp layouts, de-icing trucks, comms protocols, fluid rules and holdover time recording.

Common challenges

• Positioning: safe approach, wing clearance and jet blast awareness.
• Fluid use: Type I/II/IV selection, mix ratios and coverage patterns.
• Communication: flight deck coordination and ramp control procedures.
• Documentation: holdover times, checks and post-spray verification.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & rules: airport procedures, checklists and reporting steps.
2. Create scenarios: light icing, heavy snow, comms breakdown and emergency stop drills.
3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your radio calls and forms.
4. Assess: safe behaviours, response times and compliance accuracy.

Benefits

• Safer ramp operations in winter conditions.
• Consistent de-icing quality and compliance.
• Clear evidence for audits and incident reviews.
