INTRODUCTION
NOVEMBER 2022 DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
the desired number of failures in a specific ten hour period, but the
average rate of failures will closely approximate your settings.
If you wish to limit the number of events that are triggered you can set this
number by turning LIMITED EVENTS to YES and the setting the hard-
limit in the EVENT LIMIT line.
You can use this limit if you want to trigger a rapid series of events, but
also want to limit the total number failures.
Service Based Failures Sub-Menu:
Service Based failures will provide you with a highly realistic simulation of
failures on and operational airplane. As you fly the simulator, the total
flight time and system operation of the airplane is tracked. The
combination of factors will be compared against known data predicting
the Mean Time Before Failure for every component on the airplane.
As failures take place, you will need to use the Quick Reference
Handbook to resolve the failures and your judgment as captain to
determine whether it is feasible to continue on to your destination, or
whether a diversion for maintenance is required.
When operating under the serviced based failures process, you may fly
for many hours without seeing any mechanical unreliability in your
airplane. Conversely you experience a streak of mechanical failures from
the mundane to the critical.
When operating with the Service Based Failures module active, it will be
necessary to occasionally have your airplane “serviced” by your line
maintenance crews.
