World's 1st China-developed high-level visual system based on gaming engine officially enters commercial use

After receiving the highest-level certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the world's first China-developed high-level visual system based on a gaming engine has officially entered commercial use. This announcement was made at the Civil Aviation Four-Chain Integration Innovation Development Conference and the first Science and Technology Innovation Conference of China Southern Airlines Group held in Zhuhai on April 26th.

Of note, filling a technological gap, this system can ensure more efficient and safer flight training for over 80,000 civil aviation pilots. The release of the system makes China the third country globally to independently develop a complete visual system. It was awarded the first prize of the 2023 Science and Technology Progress Award from the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA). 

According to the joint project team of China Southern Airlines and Tencent, the new generation full-flight simulator visual system jointly developed by the two parties has passed the level D certification of CCAR-60 (China Civil Aviation Regulations Part 60) and has officially begun its commercial journey. Currently, the China-developed visual system has been adapted to mainstream aircraft models such as E190 and A320, and it is expected to support more flight protocols and aircraft models in the future. In addition, it is projected that within a year, the system will be employed in 200 high-precision airports, with 31 already completed.
