BetaDraxon VR Training SyllabusWalkaround
Virtual RealityDescription
This lesson enables trainees to perform a complete pre-operation walkaround of a belt loader. They learn to inspect all key systems, identify unsafe conditions, and detect common faults before operation to ensure safety and reliability on the ramp.
Lesson Overview
- 1Introduction to the purpose and importance of the walkaround
- 2Guided tour of all major inspection points
- 3Explanation of what to look for and why each check matters
- 4Hands-on exercise to identify planted faults on a defective belt loader
- 5Feedback on identified problem areas and corrective actions
Skills Acquired
- Perform a full 18-point pre-operation inspection
- Identify damage, leaks, and missing or misaligned parts
- Detect and interpret common faults such as low fluids or broken lights
- Build habits that prevent ramp incidents and delays
Lesson procedure
- The trainee begins beside the belt loader and learns that the goal of the walkaround is to ensure the equipment’s safety and readiness before use.
- The system leads the trainee through 18 inspection points, including brake status, FOD removal, guardrail retraction, tire and fluid checks, lights, and conveyor functionality. Each point combines a label, text overlay, and voice-over explaining what to inspect and why it matters.
- After completing all checkpoints, a summary reinforces that every belt loader must undergo a full inspection before operation.
- The environment reloads with a belt loader containing 10 planted faults (see Safety Scenarios & Learnings). The trainee uses the controller to identify each issue, receiving immediate visual and audio feedback. A counter tracks problems found.
- The first two faults are demonstrated. Remaining issues must be found independently, with guided hints after inactivity.
- The lesson concludes once all faults have been identified. A summary confirms that the 18-step walkaround has been understood and that equipment hazards have been correctly identified.
Safety Scenarios & Learnings
Improper belt position & equipment setup
Teaches the importance of fully lowering the belt and completing proper shutdown before inspection or movement.

Low fuel level & fluid leak
Builds awareness of fluid checks and leak detection to prevent ramp-side failures.

FOD hazard
Reinforces equipment and area cleanliness to avoid jams or injuries from loose tools or debris.
