- Answer

Patrick Mercer: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what changes there will be in the level of actual parachute training as a result of the virtual reality simulator. [85653] Dr. Moonie: The level of parachute training undertaken from aircraft has not changed as a result of the introduction into service of the parachute Virtual Reality Simulator in 1999. The Virtual Reality Simulator enhances the training and safety of static line square parachute courses, but does not reduce the number of descents or flying hours required to complete the static line square parachute course.
