VR SOP Training for Aviation MRO: Line & Base Maintenance

Reduce human error and turnaround time with bespoke, procedure-led simulation

Aviation maintenance environments juggle schedule pressure, documentation rigor, and safety-critical work at height and in confined spaces. Spark builds bespoke VR SOP training that replicates your aircraft types, tooling, task cards, and quality gates—so technicians rehearse tasks and decision paths before they touch an airframe.

MRO pain points we tackle

  • Task card execution: accurate sequencing, sign-offs, and configuration control.
  • Human factors: fatigue, communication, handovers, and foreign object damage (FOD).
  • Safety-critical steps: LOTO, fuel tank entry, oxygen system servicing, jacking and shoring.
  • Type variation: fleet differences, SB/AD incorporation, and tooling changes.
  • Compliance: documentation completeness and auditor expectations.

How a custom VR build works

  1. Discovery: capture task cards, AMM/CMM references, tooling lists, and hangar workflows.
  2. Scenario design: engine runs, borescope, pitot-static checks, avionics LRU swaps.
  3. Avatar coaching: prompts for critical steps, torque values, and inspection sign-offs.
  4. Assessment analytics: right-first-time scores, missed steps, configuration integrity flags.
  5. Integration & rollout: LMS links, type-specific modules, multilingual support.

Operational outcomes

  • Reduced errors and rework; fewer AOG extensions from documentation issues.
  • Faster, safer onboarding of new technicians and contractors.
  • Defensible competence evidence for regulators and airline customers.
  • Improved hangar flow and turnaround predictability.

Why Spark

We mirror your fleet, tooling, and QA gates—delivering a training twin that hard-wires the right behaviours under real-world pressure.
