Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) must obtain new levels of job task skill and knowledge to effectively work with modem computer-based avionics and advanced composite materials. Traditional methods of training, such as on-the-job training (OJT), may not have potential to fulfill the training requirements to meet future trends in aviation maintenance. A new instruction delivery system could assist AMTs with job task training and job tasks. The purpose of this research is to analyze the use of an augmented reality (AR) system as a training medium for novice AMTs. An AR system has the potential to enable job task training and job task guidance for the novice technician in a real world environment. An AR system could reduce the cost for training and retraining of AMTs by complementing human information processing and assisting with performance of job tasks. An AR system could eliminate the need to leave the aircraft for the retrieval of information from maintenance manuals for inspection and repair procedures. AR has the potential to supply rapid and accurate feedback to an AMT with any information that he/she needs to successfully complete a job task. New technologies that promote smaller computer-based systems make the application of a mobile AR system possible in the near future.
