Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing
elsewhere in this manual. These are recommended precautions that must be understood and
applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein. Should situations
arise that are not covered by safety precautions given, consult the proper local authority.
1. Under no circumstances should a person operate or maintain this equipment without the
immediate presence or assistance of another person capable of rendering aid.
2. Personnel working with or near high voltages must be familiar with modern methods of
resuscitation. In the event of electrical shock, always:
a) Remove power.
b) Administer first aid treatment.
c) Summon assistance.
3. In the event of fire, carry out the procedures provided in your local fire code.
4. All operation and maintenance personnel should be familiar with the location and
function of the emergency shutdown switches. They should also be familiar with the
emergency procedures needed to remove power from damaged equipment.
5. The simulator has voltages that are dangerous and may be fatal if contacted by operation
or maintenance personnel.
6. Do not energize equipment unless safety grounds have been established; failure to do so
may result in electrical shock to the operator.
7. Before starting the motion system, ensure that the area around the simulator envelope is
clear of personnel and that all loose objects are secured.
8. If, at any time, a safety hazard is detected, it is the responsibility of the individual to
report the hazard to ensure it is corrected.
9. All personnel in the flight compartment are to be fastened with seat belts.
10. Do not adjust the seat(s) when the motion system is on.

2. On-board Instructor Station Configuration
The IOS consists of two touch-sensitive color displays, simulator controls and
accessories, all integrated into a comfortable ergonomic seat, referred to as the
Forward-Facing Instructor Operator Station (FFIOS).
The strategically positioned FFIOS allows for unobstructed visibility on the cockpit,
and easy access to all simulator controls while maintaining optimal ergonomics.

3. IOS Software Interface
This user centric designed IOS has a task centric interface that can adapt quickly to
the user’s intended goal, present relevant functionality and required procedures.
This IOS is used to control and monitor training sessions. It provides the instructor
with the tools to:
• Monitor and assess crew performance.
• Monitor and modify aircraft and environment properties and parameters.
• Control the simulator and exercises.
3.1 IOS Workspaces
The IOS Software Interface consists of the following IOS Workspaces:
• Control Board
o Includes all parameters relating to the ownship.
o Is the main access to ownship parameters.
Instructor User Guide
IOS Software Interface
o Allows values to be changed directly on a panel.
▪ For example, adjusting fuel weights.
o Includes sliding panels
▪ For example, to activate and arm malfunctions.
o Includes a common footer
▪ Providing quick access to common commands.
• Map
o Includes elements relating to the environment.
o Features 2D/3D Map viewable modes.
o Includes environment features such as storms, Navaids stations and
simulated intruders or traffic.
o Displays takeoff/approach/runway and aircraft trail and FMS route.
• Lesson Plan Profile
o Includes all elements relating to a lesson.
o Monitors and controls lesson execution.
o Shows the lessons created in the lesson plan editor.
o Allows the instructor to automatically execute a step instead of entering
individual commands.

• Instruments Repeaters
o Allows the instructor to choose which cockpit instrument(s) will be
repeated or displayed on an IOS display screen.
• Maintenance
o Offers pages that allows maintenance personnel to perform various
simulator maintenance tasks.
• Advanced
o Features quick access buttons allowing the instructor to:
▪ Modify Aircraft, Position and Environment parameters.
▪ Perform various types of freeze and resets.
▪ Trigger failures.
