[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 2435S Seeing Machines Limited 08 March 2019 \n\nRNS REACH\n \n8 March 2019\n \nSeeing Machines Limited\n \nThe ACE Training Centre and Seeing Machines to launch unique eye tracking technology trial\n \nToll Helicopters and Seeing Machines (AIM: SEE, \"Seeing Machines\") have joined forces to launch a unique eye tracking technology trial this month as part of the Toll AW-139 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) at the ACE Training Centre in Sydney. \n \nThe trial is based on Seeing Machines' Crew Training System prototype which incorporates modern eye tracking technology. The system supports aviation training instructors, pilots and crewmen with intelligent, evidence based data to provide detailed insights into pilot scanning techniques and situational awareness.\n \nThe 2019 trial will build on insights gathered from smaller trials conducted by Toll and Seeing Machines over the past 24 months, which have produced tangible benefits for pilots, aircrewmen and instructors:\n \n· Instructors - can observe crew instrument and broader cockpit scanning in real-time in the Full Flight Simulator environment, as well as during debriefs. The unique technology provides instructors an objective assessment of what their trainees are looking at (such as speed tape, height, glide slope, heading, flight mode annunciator), at any given point in time during a flying sequence. The information can be used to quickly identify scan breakdowns, missed information, CRM (crew resource management) attention distribution, and standard operating procedure / Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) adherence or deviation.\n \n· Trainee pilots - will benefit from objective feedback from their eye tracking replay, as they achieve even higher levels of performance.\n \nDarryl Humphreys, AW139 Standards Manager and Flight Examiner described the tool as a valuable asset for instructors and pilots.\n \n\"For instructors, the ability to see in real time where a student's eyes are tracking is remarkable. You can observe, analyse and interpret the pilot's situational awareness. In addition, having the eye tracking auto-recorded for replay during training debriefs offers pilots a comprehensive review tool and the ability to self-remed...
