VR SOP Training for Airport Ground Handling

Faster, safer aircraft turnarounds

Ground handling is busy, noisy and time-pressured—yet safety and consistency are non-negotiable. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your ramp layout, turnaround sequence, equipment positioning, loading rules and radio calls—so teams practise the exact routine before live operations.

Typical pain points

  • Sequence discipline: chocks, cones, GPU/ASU, belt loaders and holds.
  • Loading accuracy: ULD handling, weight & balance, door rules.
  • Safety: jet blast, FOD checks and vehicle routes.
  • Communication: standard calls and escalation during delays.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs: airline/airport procedures and local ramp rules.
  2. Create scenarios: standard turnaround, late bags, equipment failure and incident drill.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your checklists and radio phrases.
  4. Assess: safety behaviours, turnaround timing and missed steps.

Benefits

  • Fewer ramp incidents and damage events.
  • More consistent turnaround performance.
  • Faster onboarding for seasonal staff.
