INTRODUCTION
The Instructor Operations Manual and the Touchscreen Reference Manual provide an instructor with
operating procedures for developing and conducting flight simulation sessons using the Instructor/Operator
Station(IOS).TheInstructor OperationsManualdescribeshardwarecomponents, andprovidesinstructions
for the operation of these controls and indicators. The Touchscreen Reference Manual describes software
components, and provides instructions for the operation of the touchscreens.
The Instructor Operation Manual and the Touchscreen Reference Manual for the IOS are written to be
used with the simulator specific Malfunction Document which is provided upon simulator delivery or
shortly thereafter.The MalfunctionDocument is uniqueto eachsimulatorand containsdetailedinformation
about the nature and qualities of aircraft malfunctions that can be inserted into training sessions. These
three companion documents are prepared to be general enough to be helpful in a variety of situations,
and to be useful for both the novice and experienced operator.
The IOS is a powerful, comprehensive tool that the instructor uses to conduct training sessions. These
manuals reflect this power and complexity. The manuals address all the capabilities available through the
IOS in reasonable detail; however, considering the complexity of the IOS and the various uses to which
it is put, a certain amount of practice and experimentation by the user is advised and will be necessary
to develop competency with the IOS.

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
maintenancefacilities likesoftwaredebugging,self-diagnostics,andcomputerdiagnostics.Theinstructor’s
tools are the touchscreens and control panels.
1.3. 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.

1.5.1. Control Panels
There are several control panels on the instructor station. They include the Communication,
Clock/Simulator Sound, Lighting, Hydraulic, Freezes/Resets, and Miscellaneous control panels. This
simulator also contains a smoke generating system so a Smoke Control panel is also installed. The switches
located on these panels can be used, independently or in conjunction with other simulator systems, to
control and monitor simulation. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the control panels.
1.5.2. Touchscreens
There are three touchscreens located at the Instructor Station and are referred to as the upper touchscreen,
left touchscreen, and right touchscreen. The touchscreens are used by the instructor to monitor and control
the training session.
1.5.3. Keyboard
The keyboard for the touchscreens is stored in mounting brackets which are located in the storage closet
to the side of the Instructor Station console. The keyboard is mainly used by technicians to perform
computer related maintenance. Keyboard entries are not required for the control of the training session.
1.5.4. Printer
The printer is a color graphics printer and is usually located off board the simulator in the computer room.
This printer will print most screen displays from the touchscreens.
1.5.5. Writing Surface
The Instructor Station writing surface is a flat table top that can be stowed away when not in use.

1.5.6. Seats
The instructor’s seat is located behind the cockpit, next to the Instructor Station console. It is cushioned
and has lockable adjustments. An additional seat is positioned to allow an observer to view the student’s
training.
1.5.7. Cockpit Management Monitor System
The simulator is equipped with the Cockpit Management Monitor System (CMMS). This system includes
a video and audio recording system that allows the instructor to record training sessions for later review.
The video recorder is usually located in a cabinet at the lower left of the instructor work surface and the
video camera is positioned between the pilot and co-pilot stations. The microphones are located within
the cockpit. Control of the CMMS is accomplished through the touchscreens and the video image may
be viewed on the upper monitor.
1.5.8. Telephone
The simulator is equipped with a telephone on the instructor station. The telephone can be connected to
the site’s telephone system which enables the personnel inside the trainer to communicate with personnel
outside the simulator while the flight training is in progress.
1.6. SOFTWARE FEATURES
The reactions of the simulator are controlled by programs stored in the host computer. Simulation software
interfaces with simulator hardware devices to generate an accurate representation of an actual flight.
Malfunctions, aircraft sounds, aircraft controls, visual scenes, and communications are controlled through
simulation software.
The touchscreens present displays which can be activated when simulation programs are running. The
instructor uses these screens to control and direct flight simulation.
