RANDOM FAILURES
The Random Fail ures panel allows you to ex pe ri ence what
it is like to expect the unexpected. To set up a random
failure sim ply enter the failure time win dow interval(s). As
pre vi ous ly de scribed, you can use these intervals to in voke
failures im me di ate ly, at specifi ed times, or within a defi ned
failure time window. Then dial in the number of failures you
would like to occur. If for example we entered in a failure
time window of between 3 and 12 minutes, then entered 2
in the In stru ments window, ELITE would randomly fail two
of the six instruments (each at some random time be tween
3 and 12 min utes).
NOTE: “Engines” does NOT refer to the num ber of en gines
but rather to the number of pos si ble engine failures.
Depending on the aircraft there might be as many as 5
failure types (power loss, oil pressure, oil tem per a ture,
etc.) as shown on the engine failure pan el.
