CHAPTER 2: Instructor / Operator’s Station (IOS)
As we all know, the two most im por tant things in aviation
are the next two. With cognizant self-di a logue and previous
experience deal ing with sim i lar events, it should be easier
to vi su al ize the next two ac tions with limited dis tress. What
was the last thing I touched? How far off the airway was
that airport I just passed? Is that drop in oil pres sure just a
bad gauge (better keep an eye on the temps). What is the
most con ser va tive action I could take if things just don’t
seem to be going right? Simulation is a tremendous tool
that lets you get used to see ing, evaluating, and reacting
to various failure “sce nar i os”
before getting in an actual
aircraft.
Although the MALFUNCTIONS Page might ap pear
complex at fi rst glance, similar to the METEO Page
it is actually quite easy to use and is one of the most
comprehensive available. You have the opportunity to
se lec tive ly or randomly fail individual in stru ments, systems,
avionics, engines, gear, fl aps, and much more. Elements
of the
MAL FUNC TIONS page will be cov ered in great er
detail in the following paragraphs, but to get started…
Setting up failures requires three simple steps:
Decide on the failure(s) that you would like 1.
to in voke.
Determine when you would like the failure(s) 2.
to occur. Failures can be set to occur
im me di ate ly, at a specifi ed time, or at some
point with in a defi ned “fail ure time window.”
Arm the failure(s) by press ing the as so ci at ed 3.
ARM button(s).
Note that the ARM button will change to FAIL when that
par tic u lar item has ac tu al ly failed. Click on the FAIL button
once to RESET the item to ARM . Click again to CLEAR
the failure.
