Scenarios Page

The scenario selection page provides controls for twelve different preset scenarios, including 8 static (URT) and 4 dynamic (UPT). 

A repeater of the simulator flight freeze button is also added for instructor convenience.

Alpha–Beta plot page

For the required FSTD validation, the page displays various “confidence level” alpha/beta envelopes based on the aerodynamic model provided by the aircraft manufacturer in the Data Package. Real-time data showing the current aircraft attitude gives the instructor the necessary feedback during a maneuver.

This real-time data includes current aircraft attitude (angle of attack and sideslip) as well stall data (stall warning and critical AOA) if available from the simulation host.

V-N plot page

The primary use of the V-n diagram is to provide the instructor with feedback on the load factor and to display if and when the load factor operational limits have been exceeded. The V-n diagram indicates the limitations of the airplane under given conditions. It displays the flight envelope as function of the airspeed versus G-loading as well as current flap setting.

Depending on aircraft characteristics and flap/gear configuration, the safe envelope may include both positive and negative G-loads limits or only positive and will shift appropriately as gear/flap configuration is changed during flight. The V-n diagram will indicate the limitations of the airplane under given weight, altitude, and flap/gear configuration. If pertinent, Mach limitations can be converted to airspeed at the instantaneous altitude being flown and also displayed on the diagram.

Tablet rendition of the PFD will include the following parameters: pitch attitude, roll attitude, turn/sideslip, AOA, indicated airspeed and Mach, altitude, radio altitude, rate of climb, ground speed, heading, stall warning and maximum speeds (if available), autopilot status (engaged/off).

Multiview page

The Multiview page displays the combination of the above four pages at once for an overall view:

Alpha-Beta Plot, V-n Plot, Flight Controls and PFD.

Time History Plots page

This page shows the instructor time plots of various aerodynamic, engine, flight control and EFIS parameters.

The following parameters could be included depending on the availability: pitch, roll, angle of attack, angle of sideslip, load factor, airspeed, Mach, pressure and radio altitudes, vertical speed, ground speed, heading, engine parameters and flight control positions.

Recording and Event Marker Popup

At any point during the training session, the instructor may choose to start a recording. The system will record all of the available parameters for as long as required and the instructor is provided with the ability to set event markers with his/her comments.

Playback Page

The recordings can be replayed on the spot for immediate feedback to the crew or in the debrief after the training session. A second tablet is provided for that purpose which will have access to all the recordings done in training. After the debrief,  the crew will be able to delete their recordings.
