SECTION 1 : INSTRUCTOR STATION OVERVIEW
1.1.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Instructor Operating Station (IOS) is to provide the facility from which the instructor
can monitor, control, and direct the training environment to which the student is exposed. This manual
describes the Instructor Operating Station equipped with one 21" touchscreen and two 14" touchscreens.
The size and configuration of screens and terminals installed could change due to the availability of
equipment.
1.2.
OVERVIEW
The Instructor Station is located in the simulator behind the cockpit on the left side. It consists of one 21
inch touchscreen, two 14 inch touchscreen, control panels, two recessed lights, air conditioning vents,
and other miscellaneous equipment. Figure 1-1 illustrates a typical IOS layout. The IOS functions as the
instructor’s interface with the simulator and the student. Additionally, this Instructor Station provides
maintenance facilities like software debugging, self-diagnostics, and computer diagnostics. The instructor’s
tools are the touchscreens and control panels.

GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The IOS is composed of two systems: hardware and software. The hardware system is presented in the
first part of this manual. The screens themselves, through which most of the instructor’s interface with
the simulator is accomplished, are considered part of the software, and are presented in the Touchscreen
Reference Manual which is in the second part of this manual.
