2.1 Instructor Station Pre-flight checklist

When starting a training session, the instructor should determine its readiness.

Before entering the simulator the instructor must ensure that the Programmable Entrance
Sign states that the simulator is RUNNING. This display is located on the outside and to
the left of the flight compartment door and shows the current status of the simulator.

2.2 Control Loading

Before you operate the control loading system:

 Make sure that no persons are in areas of the flight deck where they could be
exposed to hazards when the control loading system is operated.
 Make sure that all items (tools, spare parts, personal belongings, test and access
equipment) are clear of the control loading system.
 Make sure that all persons on the flight deck know that the control loading system
is to be engaged.

2.3 Motion System

Before you operate the motion system:

 Make sure that no persons are in areas of the flight deck where they could be
exposed to hazards when the motion system is operated.
 Make sure that all loose items (tools, spare parts, personal belongings, test and
access equipment) are clear of the motion system and safe.
 Make sure that all flight compartment doors and access panels are safely closed.
 Make sure that all persons on the flight deck know that the motion system is to be
engaged.
 Make sure that all persons on the flight deck are seated and seat belts are
fastened.

immediately.
 If you discover a fire, operate an emergency stop then evacuate the simulator.
There is a portable fire extinguisher in the flight compartment - fight the fire only if
you feel it is safe to do so - DO NOT put yourself or others in danger.
 If the electrical or hydraulic power fails for an unknown cause and the simulator
does not settle, contact the maintenance team to determine the reason.
 If the motion or control loading operates in an unsafe condition, operate an
emergency stop. Make sure that all persons remain seated with their seat belt
fastened until the flight compartment settles to the access position.
 When the motion is disengaged make sure that all persons stay seated with their
seat belt fastened until the simulator settles to the access position.
 In normal use the instructor seat should only be moved using the seat FWD and
BACK controls on the IOS control panel, make sure that the simulator is in the
parked or flight freeze position before moving. If the electrical power fails the
instructor seat can be moved manually after the seat is unlocked using the manual
override lever.

4.3 Parameter Readout

The parameter readout displays the current status of a number of flight parameters (e.g.,
altitude, heading), details of the currently active airport (ICAO code, runway in use, ILS
frequency), and also displays a dynamic readout showing messages relating to simulator
status (e.g., malfunction active, wind shear selected, freeze selected).
This information is displayed on all pages, except:

 Plot pages
 Lesson pages
 Maintenance pages
 Area Map display (full screen)
 Circuit Breaker pages

4.4 Overlays

Overlays allow you to change the value of a parameter. The following overlays are
provided:

 Numeric Keypad
 Slew Tool
 Alphanumeric Keypad
 Pop-Up Menu

p. 34
Numeric Keypad

The Numeric Keypad (see right) or the Slew Tool (see 5.4.1) is
displayed automatically when a touch point is selected which
requires a numeric data input. The overlay displayed is
determined by which format was last used. A button on each
overlay (Slew/Keypad) allows you to select the other format
for display.

The current value for the parameter is displayed on the

overlay. Maximum and minimum values for the parameter are
also displayed where appropriate.

The display line at the top of the overlay shows the value
being entered. When you are satisfied with the entry, select
OK and the new value will be entered into the simulation. The
overlay is removed from the display.
If you are not satisfied with the entry, select AC to clear the
complete entry or select CLR to clear the last input.
If you select Cancel, the overlay is removed from the display
and the parameter reverts to its previous state.

When entering data, you will need to enter the figures exactly as required; except when
entering heading values when the leading zeros are not required (030 can be entered as
30). Latitude and longitude values can be entered as N, S, E or W in degrees, minutes,
seconds and tenths of second (e.g., N42_27’02.0”) (it is not necessary to type the
degrees, minutes and seconds symbols). Latitude and longitude will be displayed on the
IOS in degrees, minutes and tenths of minutes, regardless of the format used to enter the
values on the overlay. For example, a value entered as N42_27’30” will be displayed as
N42_27.5.

If the selected parameter has pre-defined maximum and minimum limits, buttons to select
maximum and minimum are displayed. If the entered value exceeds the maximum or
minimum limits for the selected parameter, the OK function is disabled and the entered
value is displayed in red.

p. 35
4.4.1 Slew Tool

The Slew Tool (see below) provides an alternative to the

Numeric Keypad for entering numeric data when the selected
parameter has maximum and minimum limits. The Slew Tool is
not available when editing latitude and longitude.

Two slider bars are provided: course, to set the value of the
parameter approximately to the required setting, and fine, to
adjust the value to exactly the right setting.
To change the value of the parameter, use your finger to move
the slider bar up or down until the required value is achieved.
Select OK to confirm the entry.

4.4.2 Alphanumeric Keypad

The Alphanumeric Keypad (see below) is displayed automatically when a touch point is
selected which requires an alphanumeric data input.

Two formats of the keypad are available: CDU and

PC QWERTY. The format displayed is determined
by which format was last used. A button (PC/CDU)
on the keypad will allow you to select the other
format.

The current entry is shown on the overlay. The

display line at the top of the overlay shows the data
being entered.

When you are satisfied with the entry, select OK

and the new data will be entered into the
simulation.

If you are not satisfied with the entry, select AC to

clear the complete entry or select CLR to clear the last input. If you select Cancel, the
overlay is removed from the display and the parameter reverts to its previous state.

p. 36
 4.4.3 Pop-Up Menu

A Pop-Up Menu will be displayed automatically if the selected parameter has a number of
alternative states (eg. cobblestone). The menu (see example below) will display a title, a 3D–
style button for each selection and a CANCEL button. The button corresponding to the
currently selected state will be displayed in relief–effect.

Selecting a button causes that button to change to the relief–effect selected state. When you
remove your finger directly from the button, the selection becomes active and the pop-up
menu is removed from the display. If you slide your finger off the button area then then off the
screen, the function will not be selected and the button will revert to its previous state.

4.5 Side Toolbar

This area displays a number of buttons which provide access to the pages. The same
buttons are displayed on control pages and malfunction pages. On map pages, some of the
buttons are replaced with buttons providing access to functions which are only relevant to
map page operation.

5.5 Lesson Plans

5.5.1 Lesson plan index

This page is selectable from the Page Navigation Toolbar and allows you to select the
appropriate lesson plan for the training exercise. Selection may be from either the displayed
table or loaded from a USB drive.

The lesson plan system enables a training session to be run automatically or semi-
automatically with minimum instructor intervention.

Each lesson plan consists of a series of events which are executed sequentially. The events
can be activated automatically when a condition is satisfied (for example, when a quantity
reaches a specific level, or a pre-defined altitude is reached), or manually by selecting a
button. In addition, it is possible to have non-sequential events in the lesson plan which do
not form part of the sequential flow but can be selected at any time.

The lesson plans are created off-line using the Lesson Plan Editor utility.

The lesson plans can be displayed in either Profile view or List view.

NOTE: A lesson plan may be 'locked' in either view from the Editor.

When a lesson plan is selected, the associated lesson plan is displayed in either Profile view
or List view, as defined in the Editor when the lesson plan is created.

Only one lesson plan can be active (running) at any time.

5.5.2 Profile View

The lesson plans are displayed graphically as a plot of altitude (vertical axis) against time
(horizontal axis). Each lesson plan can be several hours in duration, but only a section of the
plan can be displayed at any one time. Therefore, the display scrolls automatically from left to
right as the lesson proceeds, keeping the current section of the lesson on the screen. Scroll
arrows are provided to allow you to manually scroll through the lesson plan. A 'time-bar' is
displayed along the horizontal axis indicating the elapsed time since the lesson plan started.

p. 69
Each lesson plan consists of a series of numbered events which are displayed as buttons on
the screen. As the lesson progresses, the events are activated sequentially. Automatic
events (indicated by an A) occur when the pre-set conditions are met; manual events
(indicated by an M) require action by you before they become active. To execute a manual
event, either touch the button and then select Execute from the pop-up menu, or select Enter
Item. To override the preset conditions for an automatic event, either touch the button and
select Execute form the pop-up menu, or select Enter Item. In addition, you can override the
event sequence to repeat or skip a particular section (for example). To jump to a particular
event, select the appropriate button and then select Goto from the pop-up menu.

The status of each event in the lesson plan is indicated by the colour of the associated
button. The button is normally blue and changes to orange when the event is active (ie., it is
the current event), then to red when the event is executing. The button changes to dark
green when the event is completed. If the lesson plan is not running, all the buttons are grey
and cannot be selected.

Events may have more than one set of associated actions and you can change the set that is
active for the current lesson plan. To select a different set of actions, touch the button and
then select the appropriate button on the pop-up menu. The selection of a non-default set
has to be made before the corresponding event is executed. The sets of actions are mutually
exclusive so that only one set will be activated during the execution of the lesson plan.

If an event has multiple actions, the actions will be executed sequentially

In the Lesson Plan Editor, it is possible to create complete sequencing scenarios by linking
two events that would otherwise be disjointed. At run time, once the first linked event has
been completed, the second linked event will become the current event; all intervening
events are ignored.

p. 70
 List View

The lesson plans are displayed in a vertically sequenced list with the initial event at the top of
the screen. As the lesson progresses, the display scrolls vertically to keep the current section
of the lesson on the screen. Scroll arrow buttons are provided to allow you to manually scroll
through the lesson plan. Operation of the lesson plan is the same as in Profile view.

Operating a Lesson Plan

Buttons are provided in the Lesson Toolbar to allow you to control the lesson:

 Play (or Stop). Selecting Play starts the lesson plan. Selecting Stop stops the
lesson plan.
 Enter Item, which allows you to activate manual events. Automatic events also
respond to Enter Item and act as if the associated preset conditions have been
satisfied.
 Mode, which allows you to switch between Manual and Automatic modes. In
Manual mode, automatic events must be manually selected before the event will
start to monitor the preset conditions.

NOTE: A lesson plan can be 'locked' in either mode from the Lesson Plan Editor.

 View, which switches between Profile and List view.

 Back and Forward arrow buttons, which allow you to scroll through the lesson plan.

The lesson stops automatically when the last event has finished executing.

5.8 Plots

Selectable from the Page Navigation Toolbar, the Plots tab suite allows you to monitor the flight
crew's performance on take-off and landing. This page comprises 4 tabs providing access to the
following pages:

 Approach page.
 Runway page.
 Departure page.
 T/O and landing Performance page.
 Tail Clearance page.

5.8.1 Approach

This page is selectable from the Plots tab suite and consists of three graphs:

 Localiser deviation plot (distance left/right from the localiser; Y axis scale is
dependent on localiser beam width and X axis scale is dependent on Scale button
selection)

p. 74
  Glideslope deviation plot (distance above/below the glideslope; Y axis scale is
dependent on glideslope beam width and X axis scale is dependent on Scale
button selection)
 Approach Speed plot (aircraft speed and a reference speed; Y axis scale is 120 to
220 kt, X axis scale is dependent on Scale button selection).

The approach plots are active when the aircraft is in proximity to the active runway. The 'box'
limits around the runway are:

 Front: 12 nm
 Back: Runway length
 Side: 7000 ft either side
 Top: 10 000 ft

The 'zero' point on the graphs is the latitude and longitude co-ordinate of the glideslope beam
as defined in the Navigation Data, offset laterally to be on the runway centreline.

The localiser beam width and glideslope beam width and angle are obtained from the
Navigation Data. If no data exists, the following defaults are used:

 Localiser beam width: 4º

 Glideslope beam width: 1.44º
 Glideslope angle: 3º

By default, the localiser and glideslope beams are displayed with deviation lines at 1 and 2
dots either side of the beam centreline.

By default, the localiser and glideslope lines flash when the aircraft is within the proximity
`box' (4Nm) of the active runway but outside of the glideslope beam.

The plots are erased under the following conditions:

 Change in active runway

 When the Erase Track button is selected by the instructor

The lateral and vertical deviation graphs display a vertical yellow bar across the plot as an
'incident' marker. This is displayed when any malfunction is activated while these plots are
active. The position of the marker is determined by the aircraft position at the time of the
incident.

The position of Approach Landing Markers are displayed graphically (as cones) on the
vertical deviation graph. The localiser and glideslope beams and the approach marker cones
are displayed in red if the associated radio navigation stations are failed.

The position of Microbursts and Windshears are displayed using representative symbols (a
shear sign and a spiral with a down arrow) on the lateral and vertical deviation graphs. The
symbols are displayed in magenta.

The speed graph plots two parameters: aircraft speed (red) and a reference speed (Vref)
(green).

p. 75
The following data readouts and buttons are displayed in the plot toolbar area (directly below
the Page Navigation Toolbar):

 C/L Dev
This is the current deviation distance in dots from the active runway centre line. It
is always calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
 G/S Dev
This is the current deviation distance in dots from the active runway glideslope
beam centreline (or virtual glideslope if non-GS equipped). It is always calculated,
irrespective of aircraft position.
 Max C/L Dev
This is the maximum localiser deviation from the active runway. It is always
calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
 Max G/S Dev
This is the maximum glideslope deviation from the active runway. It is always
calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
 TCH
This is the height at which the aircraft crosses the runway threshold as it flies down
the ILS glideslope.
 T/D Dist
This is the point to point distance from the aircraft to the active runway touchdown
zone. This touchdown zone is represented on most runways as 2 large white
blocks either side of the runway centreline, approximately 1000ft from the runway
threshold.
 T/D ROD

Erase Track Erases the current plot.

Scale Allows you to change the scale of the plot (auto, high, medium,
low).

5.8.2 Runway

This page is selectable from the Plots tab suite and consists of four graphs:

 A/C Position (aircraft position on the runway; Y axis scale is dependent on runway
width, X axis scale is dependent on runway length)
 Brakes (left and right pedal deflection; Y axis scale is 0 to100 %, X axis scale is
dependent on runway length
 Speed (aircraft speed; Y axis scale is 0 to 200 kt, X axis scale is dependent on
runway length)
 Rudder Pedals (deflection left (negative) and right (positive) in degrees; Y axis
scale is -20º to +20º, X axis scale is dependent on runway length)

The runway plots are active when the aircraft is on the active runway or less than 35 ft above
it.

The 'zero' point on the graphs is the active runway threshold.

p. 76
The graphs are sized to the actual active runway length as defined in the Navigation Data.
There is no Scale control.

The plots are erased under the following conditions:

5.8.4 T/O and Landing Performance

This page is selectable from the Plots tab suite and displays the values of various aircraft
parameters during take-off, landing or go-around phases to enable the performance of the flight
crew to be checked.
The values of the parameters are displayed automatically when the aircraft enters the
appropriate phase of the flight. The parameters are grouped into two types:

 Type 1, which are snapshots at a particular moment in time and are cleared whenever
a new Take–off or Landing Phase is detected.
 Type 2, which are updated in real time and change as the value of the parameter
changes.

5.8.5 Takeoff Performance

The takeoff phase is initiated when:

 Aircraft is on ground
and
 Aircraft < 200ft from runway centreline
and
 Ground speed > 0.1 kt
and
 Either TLA ≥ 50°

This is the origin for calculations of distance and time.

The Takeoff phase ends when:

p. 78
  Gear and flaps are up
or
 Takeoff Reset is selected
or
 In–air Reposition is selected
or
 Aircraft On Jacks is selected

T/O Posn (Type 1) When above conditions are satisfied.

V1 (Type 1) If T/O detected and calibrated airspeed ≥ V1 as calculated by the
host software using the QRH data.
VR (Type 1) If T/O detected and calibrated airspeed ≥ VR as calculated by the
host software using the QRH data.
V2 (Type 1) If T/O detected and calibrated airspeed ≥ V2 as calculated by the
host software using the QRH data.
VLOF (Type 1) If T/O detected and aircraft no longer on ground.

After calibrated airspeed has exceeded 40 kt:

Eng Fail (Type 1) If N1 on either engine ≤ 70% and both TLAs have not changed by
more than 1°
Power Idle (Type If on ground and both TLAs ≤ 5°
1)
Brake On (Type 1) If on ground and either of the outboard tyre forces = 1000 lbs
Reversers (Type If on ground and either TLA ≤ –90°
1)
VStop
15 Ft Ht AGL If radio altitude ≥ 15 ft
(Type 1)
35 Ff Ht AGL If radio altitude ≥ 35 ft
(Type 1)
2nd Seg Grad Updated in real time with the average climb gradient to the current
(Type 2) point from where the gear has been raised and there is a positive
rate of climb. This is continually updated to the point where the
flaps are moved from take-off setting. This last calculated gradient
(which is effectively the average over the whole segment) is held
after the flaps start to move. This value is held until the initiation of
another T/O Phase is detected.

5.8.6 Landing Performance

The Landing Phase is initiated when:

 Aircraft is not on ground

and
 Rate of climb ≤ –200ft/min
and

p. 79
  Radio altitude ≤ 100 ft
and
 Calibrated airspeed ≥ 1.5 x (stall speed of current configuration)

The Landing Phase ends when:

 Takeoff Reset is selected

or
 In-air Reposition is selected
or
 Aircraft On Jacks is selected

50 Ft AGL (Type When radio altitude ≤ 50 ft

1)
T/D Point (Type 1) When any strut has load on it. This is the origin for the time and
distance calculations for 50 FT AGL and VSTOP.
VStop (Type 1) When aircraft is on ground and ground speed ≤ 10 kts

5.8.7 Go-around (GA) Phase

The GA Phase is initiated when:

 Aircraft is in Landing Phase

and
 Either TLA ≥ 50°
and
 Rate of climb is positive
and
 Radio altitude < 2000 ft

App Climb Grad Updated in real time with the average gradient to the current point
(Type 2) from where a GA Phase has been detected and the gear is up.
This is continually updated to the point where the GA Phase is no
longer valid. This last calculated gradient is effectively the average
over the whole of the segment. This value is held until initiation of
another landing is detected.
Ldg Climb Grad Updated in real time with the average gradient to the current point
(Type 2) from where a GA Phase has been detected and the gear is down.
This is continually updated to the point where the GA Phase is no
longer valid. This last calculated gradient is effectively the average
over the whole of the segment. This value is held until initiation of
another landing is detected.
5.8.8 Tail Clearance

This page is selectable from the Plots tab suite and consists of a graph that displays the tail
proximity to the ground.

Erase Track Allows you to clear the display

p. 80
5.9 Airport Traffic

This page is selectable from the Traffic tab suite and allows you to control the appearance and
movement of up to 6 repeating and 2 non-repeating routes. These incidents are normally designed
to present the aircrew with a hazard, in the vicinity of the runway, during take-off or landing. They
may, additionally, be used to provide traffic scenarios in and around the airport.

5.9.1 Repeatable Routes

Repeatable Routes initialise a number of entities using the Separation time specified for the
runway the route uses. The separation is constant for any entities using that runway, if the
separation time is changed, any new entities created by the system will have the new time.
Select a row to load, clear or stop a repeatable route.

5.9.2 Non-Repeatable Routes

Non-Repeatable Routes either start when the scenario play button is pressed or when triggered
by an ownship event (see Play Trigger Structure). Select a row to load, clear or stop a non-
repeatable route.

5.9.3 Runway Touchdown Intervals

Configure Displays a popup menu to allow you to set touchdown intervals.

Intervals Selected intervals times are displayed for each runway.

5.9.4 Scenario Options

Ownship Priority Ownship Priority is used when the ownship is taking off and can
be set to either Manual or Automatic. If in manual mode then the
instructor has to decide if the ownship has enough space to take-
off in respect to other landing aircraft. If in Automatic, the system
will temporarily suspend the creation of new landing entities to
give the ownship space to take-off. Once the ownship has taken
off, the normal creation at that separation will be resumed.
Runway For Gen For airports with more than one runway (auto-generics or
Routes specifics) the Runway for Gen Routes button allows all generic
routes (routes recorded at a generic airport, which can be used
anywhere) within a scenario to use an alternative reference
runway to the active runway. The button will only be active before
the scenario begins, as the routes cannot be altered once a
scenario has started.

Load Displays the Scenario Select page.

Own ship Priority Own ship Priority is used when the own ship is taking off and can
be set to either Manual or Automatic. If in manual mode then the
instructor has to decide if the own ship has enough space to take-
off in respect to other landing aircraft. If in Automatic, the system
will temporarily suspend the creation of new landing entities to
give the own ship space to take-off. Once the own ship has taken
off, the normal creation at that separation will be resumed.
Runway For Gen For airports with more than one runway (auto-generics or
Routes specifics) the Runway for Gen Routes button allows all generic
routes (routes recorded at a generic airport, which can be used
anywhere) within a scenario to use an alternative reference
runway to the active runway. The button will only be active before
the scenario begins, as the routes cannot be altered once a
scenario has started.
