Abstract
A method and apparatus for training a user of an aircraft. Simulated controls for the aircraft are provided. A training scenario defines actions to be performed by the user with the simulated controls. An action indicator associated with at least one of the simulated controls is displayed based on the training scenario. Actions by the user with the simulated controls are detected. Operation of the aircraft is simulated based on the detected actions by the user with the simulated controls.
Claims20
A method, of training operating an aircraft, comprising:
- providing simulated controls for the aircraft;
- associating the simulated controls for the aircraft with a training system controller comprising:
- a simulation selector, a scenario editor configured to create or change a scenario, a mode selector, a scenario selector, and an evaluator;
- associating the training system controller with a training scenario controller comprising an action indicator generator configured to generate an action indicator depending upon a combination of:
- a scenario selection, a mode selection, and an input received for an action associated with a simulated control in the simulated controls;
- receiving in the scenario selector, a scenario selection;
- receiving in the mode selector, a mode selection;
- determining, in the action indicator generator using the scenario selection, the mode selection, and the input received for the action associated the simulated control, and displaying a particular action indicator for the simulated control, the particular action indicator comprising an indication for an operation-of-control-not-timely;
- and
- simulating operation of the aircraft based on the input received for the action associated with the simulated control.

An apparatus, that comprises:
- a simulated flight deck that comprises:
- simulated controls for an aircraft;
- a training system controller that comprises:
- a simulation selector, a scenario editor configured to create or change a scenario, a mode selector, a scenario selector, and an evaluator, and associated with a training scenario controller that comprises an action indication generator configured to generate an action indicator based upon a combination of:
- a scenario selection, a mode selection, and an input received for an action associated with a simulated control in the simulated controls such that the scenario selection defines desired actions associated with the simulated controls;
- and
- a simulator configured to:
- simulate operation of the aircraft based on actions associated with the simulated controls;
- and
- recognize, and present the action indicator for, an operation-of-control-not-timely.
