INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE
TO
SIMULATOR TRAINING

. Fly
(use Auto Pilot as far as possible, to ease workload)

. Navigate
(maintain Flight Path & be situationally aware at all times)

. Communicate

(with ATC, Cockpit & Cabin Crew)
. Keep one head up at all times
(to monitor flight progress) (One pilot monitors flight progress, while the other carries out QRH / FMS actions.)
. Check FMS accuracy

. Monitor FMA & acknowledge call outs at all times

. Use automation appropriate for the task and

. Practice task sharing

6.1 MODERN CONCEPT OF TRAINING
In the evolution of flight training, in the early days a lot of emphasis was given to the radiometry skills and manipulations of controls and the use of mainly psychomotor skills. With the advancement of technology and the availability of highly sophisticated simulators, the major emphasis in airline operations is the crew concept rather than individual skill attainment.
The developing training technology synthesizes high fidelity aircraft simulation and high fidelity line operations simulation to provide realistic dynamic airline crew training with particular emphasis on command and resource management.
The new advanced simulators are capable of providing realistic simulator, resulting in the reduction of actual training on the aircraft. This results in overall training cost and allows the aircraft to be used for revenue operations.
