CAE USA Wins USAF Contract to Upgrade C-5 Training Devices
Posted on Tuesday 31st August 2010 | Defence

CAE USA won a contract from the United States Air Force (USAF) worth more than $10 million to upgrade two C-5 Galaxy weapon systems trainers (WSTs). The contract includes options to upgrade more C-5 WSTs and C-5 cockpit procedures trainers that could bring the value to more than $50 million.

As the prime contractor, CAE USA will upgrade the C-5 training devices to ensure concurrency with current aircraft upgrades being performed as part of the C-5 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) and the C-5 Reliability Enhancement Re-engining Program (RERP). Initially, CAE will upgrade a C-5 WST at Stewart Air National Guard Base (ANGB) to the new C-5 AMP configuration. Another C-5 WST at Dover Air Force Base that was already upgraded by CAE to the AMP configuration several years ago, will be upgraded to the RERP configuration, which includes new engine performance simulation software and a new aerodynamics model that simulates the improved engine performance.

The Lockheed Martin-built C-5 Galaxy is the U.S. Air Force’s largest transport aircraft designed to provide strategic airlift of outsize and oversized cargo. The USAF currently plans to have Lockheed Martin upgrade 52 legacy C-5 aircraft to the new C-5M configuration, which includes both the AMP and RERP upgrades. To support aircrew training from initial qualification through continuation, refresher, differences and transition training, the USAF will plans upgrade up to seven C-5 training devices to the AMP configuration and five C-5 training devices to the RERP configuration to accurately reflect the new C-5M aircraft. CAE is now under contract to upgrade the first two C-5 WSTs, and expects the USAF to exercise contract options to upgrade additional devices over the next several years. ]]> News Clips, Articles and Work Related Sites SimProfessor http://www.simtechonline.com/forums/showthread.php?4066-CAE-USA-Wins-USAF-Contract-to-Upgrade-C-5-Training-Devices Paul Lowndz... http://www.simtechonline.com/forums/showthread.php?4065-Paul-Lowndz...&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:21:03 GMT I cannot remember if you are from Christchurch, so if you visit this site please check in and let us know you are ok.

Simulator training flaws tied to airline crashes
By Alan Levin, USA TODAY
Flaws in flight simulator training helped trigger some of the worst airline accidents in the past decade, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal accident records.
More than half of the 522 fatalities in U.S. airline accidents since 2000 have been linked to problems with simulators, devices that are used nearly universally to train the nation's airline pilots, the records show.


Simulator training is credited with saving thousands of lives. But the problem, according to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) case files and safety experts, is that in rare but critical instances they can trick pilots into habits that lead to catastrophic mistakes.


Last month, the NTSB blamed deficient simulator training in part for the Dec. 20, 2008, crash of a Continental Airlines jet in Denver.

The Boeing 737-500 skidded off a runway at high speed and burst into flames because of the pilot's inability to steer while trying to take off in gusty cross-winds, the NTSB ruled. Six people suffered severe injuries.


Investigators also found that many airline simulators, including Continental's, made such takeoffs seem far easier than in the real world. To make matters worse, the airline and its trainers were never told the simulators were inaccurate, the safety board found.
"That's a problem," said Kevin Darcy, an aviation safety consultant and former chief accident investigator with Boeing. "It's really important to know how that data is programmed and where the holes are. Otherwise you are fooling yourself."


Simulators revolutionized training starting in the 1970s by allowing airlines to train pilots almost exclusively on the ground.


However, as realistic as they may seem, simulators are only as good as the data used to program them. Current simulators aren't accurate when a plane goes out of control, which has prevented their use in training for the leading killer in commercial aviation.
Buoyed by recent scientific research, the NTSB voted earlier this year to urge federal regulators to improve simulators so that they can instruct pilots how to regain control in an emergency.


The NTSB has repeatedly raised concerns since the 1990s about the potential for simulators to give pilots a false impression of how their aircraft work. Simulator training was cited in some of the deadliest accidents in the past decade. Among them:


•After a Colgan Air plane went out of control and killed 50 people died near Buffalo on Feb. 12, 2009, the NTSB found that airline simulators needed to be improved to give pilots better training in such emergencies.


•On Nov. 12, 2001, an American Airlines pilot's aggressive use of the rudder caused his jet to break apart, killing 265 people. The NTSB found that a American simulator exercise had given pilots a false sense of how the rudders worked.


Continental said it planned to "change our training programs as recommended." Colgan said its training was based on aircraft manufacturer guidelines and followed federal regulations.


American, which altered its use of simulators after the 2001 accident, said it is constantly adapting its training in response to safety data it collects. ]]> News Clips, Articles and Work Related Sites chesch http://www.simtechonline.com/forums/showthread.php?4060-USA-Today-article-on-Simulator-Training E-3 Sim Maintenance Techs in Oklahoma http://www.simtechonline.com/forums/showthread.php?4059-E-3-Sim-Maintenance-Techs-in-Oklahoma&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:42:35 GMT *IngenuitE, Inc *is looking for skilled computer and electronics technicians to provide E-3 aircraft mission crews and software developers with a professionally maintained and continuously reliable aircrew training device.

He says he's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the guy hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the guy returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

He doesn't have much luck until one day, he comes across a Harley with a For Sale sign on it.

The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition.

He immediately buys it and then asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years.

"Well, it's quite simple, really," says the seller, "Whenever the bike is outside and it's gonna rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the rain.'

And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline.

That night, his girlfriend invites him over to meet her parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But, just before they enter the house, she stops him and says, "I have to tell you something about my family before we go in."

"When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes."

"No problem," he says. And in they go.

Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a huge stack of dirty dishes.

In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes.

They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word.

As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation.

So he leans over and kisses his girlfriend.

No one says a word.

So he reaches over and fondles her breasts.

Still, nobody says a word.

So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and has his way with her, right there in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified when he sits back down. But no one says a word.

He looks at her mom.

"She's got a great body," he thinks. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has his way with her.

Now his girlfriend is furious, and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence.

All of a sudden, there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain.

Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket.

Suddenly, the father shouts...."I'll do the f**king dishes!!!" ]]> Humor dalsimtech http://www.simtechonline.com/forums/showthread.php?4042-Doing-the-Dishes
