Questions? We have answers:
What skills are gained in the Tractor VR Training module?
The Tractor VR training module teaches ground-handling staff how to operate an airport tractor safely and efficiently in ramp environments. Trainees learn core skills such as correct vehicle preparation, safe maneuvering and positioning, proper coupling and uncoupling of baggage carts, stable towing techniques, and controlled movement in operational traffic. The training reinforces hazard awareness, precision control, and disciplined ramp routines through interactive practice, knowledge checks, and assessment elements.
Are the Tractor Training lessons videos to watch?
No, the tractor training lessons are not videos to watch. Draxon’s VR modules are fully interactive scenarios in which trainees actively perform tasks, make decisions, and receive real-time feedback. This enables realistic, hands-on learning instead of passive viewing and helps reinforce correct behavior in operational environments.
Can the Tractor VR Training module help reduce time needed for classroom training?
Yes, Draxon’s Tractor VR training can significantly reduce the need for traditional classroom theory sessions. Trainees apply procedures in realistic ramp environments and receive real-time feedback when mistakes occur. This hands-on approach accelerates procedural understanding, making classroom briefings shorter, more focused, and less frequent.
What are the benefits of the Tractor VR Training for real-world operations?
The Tractor VR training prepares staff for real-world ramp operations by letting them practice coupling routines, towing procedures, and safety behavior in a fully immersive environment. Mistakes can be made and corrected virtually, helping trainees internalize correct routines faster and reducing the risk of incidents and equipment damage once they work on the live ramp.
Can people with a tendency to motion sickness do the Tractor VR training?
Yes, most people with a tendency to motion sickness can use the Tractor VR training without discomfort. Less than 3% of trainees report any symptoms. Draxon’s training modules are designed for immersive learning with purposeful, smooth movement to keep the experience focused and comfortable while delivering maximum training value.
Is the Tractor VR training applicable for initial training?
Yes, the Tractor VR Training is fully applicable for initial training. It introduces new hires to tractor operating routines, preparation steps, coupling and towing procedures, and ramp safety behavior in a safe virtual environment. Step-by-step guidance and real-time feedback help trainees build foundational skills before operating real equipment.
Is the Tractor VR Training applicable for recurrent training?
Yes, the Tractor VR Training supports recurrent training by helping experienced staff refresh tractor handling routines, coupling discipline, towing behavior, and safety awareness. Realistic scenarios and error handling reinforce consistent standards and operational readiness.
Is the Tractor VR Training aligned with IATA standards?
Yes, the Tractor VR Training is developed in close alignment with IATA AHM 1110 and IGOM guidelines. Trainees practice standardized procedures for preparation, coupling, towing, maneuvering, and shutdown that reflect IATA-compliant ramp operations, supporting consistent, safe, and regulation-oriented ground handling performance.
Is the Tractor VR Training aligned with EASA standards?
Yes, the training design is aligned with EASA safety principles. The Tractor VR module incorporates safety-critical routines and ramp procedures that reflect the intent of EASA operational training guidelines, supporting risk awareness and safe behavior in live environments.
