CHAPTER 2: Instructor / Operator’s Station (IOS)
INSTRUMENT INOPS
The Instrument INOP feature allows you to place a virtual
instrument cover on a selected instrument or instruments.
The covers are similar in appearance to the rubber suction
cup covers used in instrument training for partial panel
practice. The covers can be used independent of, or in
conjunction with, specifi c malfunctions as follows:
Invoke a malfunction by itself (without the cover).
Cover the instrument (without invoking a
malfunction).
Invoke a malfunction AND cover the instrument.
The third option allows the instructor to cover an instrument
at his discretion once he is comfortable that the student
has recognized and acknowledged the failure.
To place an instrument cover on one or more instruments,
simply click on the desired instrument’s ARM button. The
button will turn orange and subsequently display “Fail” to
indicate the instrument has been covered. Note that the
Instrument INOP feature is activated almost immediately
after ARM has been pressed. The Instrument INOP
feature is therefore not “timed” nor does its use depend on
the Ref. Failure Time. The graphic above shows that the
attitude indicator and directional gyro have been selected
and have INOP covers on them.
At the lower-left of the MALFUNCTIONS page you will
fi nd several buttons that are ap pli ca ble to the entire
MALFUNCTIONS page as op posed to the control of
individual fail ures described previously.
