1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:03,089
Virtual reality could be a potential 

2
00:00:03,099 --> 00:00:06,639
game changer by reducing the amount of 

3
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:08,872
stories that you fly and still preserve 

4
00:00:08,872 --> 00:00:11,529
realistic training . We can be more 

5
00:00:11,539 --> 00:00:13,949
efficient with our fuel . We can reduce 

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,960
the amount of fuel we burn but also 

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,849
maintain a high level of training 

8
00:00:17,849 --> 00:00:21,219
capability , er is a immersive 

9
00:00:21,229 --> 00:00:23,340
environment where we can actually put 

10
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:25,451
those airmen onto a simulated jet . I 

11
00:00:25,459 --> 00:00:27,403
mean , it feels just like the real 

12
00:00:27,403 --> 00:00:29,626
thing when you're inside , it's crazy , 

13
00:00:29,626 --> 00:00:31,848
you can actually reach out and it feels 

14
00:00:31,848 --> 00:00:34,015
like you're touching something you can 

15
00:00:34,015 --> 00:00:36,126
put VR on and it tells you , hey , do 

16
00:00:36,126 --> 00:00:38,348
this . If you do not , this will happen 

17
00:00:38,348 --> 00:00:40,459
and cascading events will happen . So 

18
00:00:40,459 --> 00:00:42,515
it really helps you kind of solidify 

19
00:00:42,515 --> 00:00:44,459
the why behind the reason when you 

20
00:00:44,459 --> 00:00:46,681
think of accomplishing the mission with 

21
00:00:46,681 --> 00:00:48,848
the right amount of fuel where we were 

22
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:50,737
able to be more efficient just by 

23
00:00:50,737 --> 00:00:52,792
smartly transitioning from different 

24
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:54,292
phases of flight and still 

25
00:00:54,292 --> 00:00:56,403
accomplishing the training objectives 

26
00:00:56,403 --> 00:00:58,626
that were required . So we were able to 

27
00:00:58,626 --> 00:01:02,139
instill that energy mindedness into the 

28
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:04,483
into the processes that we do every day . 

29
00:01:05,309 --> 00:01:07,309
Back in the day when I was in pilot 

30
00:01:07,309 --> 00:01:09,819
training , I trained using a certain 

31
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:11,663
number of sorties to complete my 

32
00:01:11,663 --> 00:01:14,080
training items . Well , now by blending 

33
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,699
simulator training and virtual reality , 

34
00:01:16,709 --> 00:01:18,931
I can do that by burning less fuel , by 

35
00:01:18,931 --> 00:01:21,098
flying less sorties and still maintain 

36
00:01:21,098 --> 00:01:22,987
a high level of proficiency in my 

37
00:01:22,987 --> 00:01:23,019
training .
