9.11 Simulator Un-Serviceability

Where the operational treatment lives

Detailed un-serviceability procedures (when the instructor encounters a partial-capability simulator, when the lesson plan can proceed, when the session must be terminated, what documentation is required) live in the approved training programme and the operator's duties material for instructors; they are not reproduced in full here.

This section completes the simulator catalogue with a deliberate hook: know that un-serviceability has an approved procedure, know which adjacent chapter items inform the decision, and apply the programme document for the session itself.

Adjacent material in Synthetic Training Device

While the operational un-serviceability procedure itself sits in the approved programme, several adjacent items in 9.1 Introduction through this section inform the un-serviceability context:

  • 9.10 Factors that can Affect Simulator Training: the instructor's ability to deal with simulator malfunctions depends on understanding the simulator system; an instructor who lacks system knowledge cannot diagnose a genuine simulator un-serviceability and may classify it incorrectly.
  • 9.10 Factors that can Affect Simulator Training: the Simulator Component Inoperative Guide is named there as the approved programme's tool for handling the partial-capability simulator. SCIG bridges the high-level introduction here and the operator's full operational treatment.
  • 9.5 Safety Features: distinguishes the failsafe-detector trips that are designed-in safety responses from genuine un-serviceabilities that affect training capability.

Connections

  • 9.10 Factors that can Affect Simulator Training. Treats the genuine-versus-instructor-mishandling distinction for simulator malfunctions and names SCIG.
  • 10.1 Human Behaviour. Opens the human-behaviour material that operates inside the simulator environment Chapter 9 has now defined.
  • FSTD. The ICAO Doc 9625 framework that defines the qualification levels a simulator un-serviceability can pull a device below; the un-serviceability question is partly a question of whether the device still meets the qualification level the lesson plan was authorised against.
