According to Korea’s Aviation Safety Act, aviation MRO educational institutions must secure at least three aircraft for training purposes. However, it is difficult for institutions to buy a huge aircraft worth more than 100 billion won. Even though they purchase them, these aircraft are displayed on the campus rather than used as training due to damage concerns. Besides, some aviation MRO institutions provide on-site training, but to practice many trainees repetitively in a limited time is almost impossible.

The aviation MRO XR content of Augmented Knowledge Corp. (AK Corp.) solves these problems. This allows trainers and trainees unlimited maintenance processes of MRO training such as disassembling and assembling aircraft parts without purchasing a real aircraft.

AK Corp. was selected through the support of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the ICT regulatory sandbox demonstration special project organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT. This demonstration project is expected to replace real aircraft acquisition regulations with XR training content and provide market creation in the educational industry.
