Introducing Flight Deck: The Future of Chair Flying Has Landed

Dauntless XR launched Flight Deck, a mixed reality app designed for student pilots and aviators who want a hands-on, upgraded approach to chair flying over cockpit posters.

What is Flight Deck?

Flight Deck in Mixed Reality on Meta Quest 3

Flight Deck is an app that modernizes the way pilots practice flows, checklists, and cockpit procedures. Instead of using paper posters or static diagrams, Flight Deck offers a true-to-scale, interactive 3D cockpit simulation for the Cessna 172. With the app aviators can experience chair flying like never before, right in your living room, using your Quest 3 headset. Don’t waste brainpower trying to imagine the cockpit, focus on building your muscle memory and memorizing the flows you need to know to pass your checkride and secure your PPL.
