TM 55-6930-212-10 Section IV. TRAINING CAPABILITIES 2-48. GENERAL. 2-49. The simulator is a fully-operational mission simulator with pilot and copilot stations that duplicate the actual helicopter cockpit configuration. The simulator simulates, in real-time, applicable normal and emergency aircraft operation with respect to both transient and steady-state flight conditions. Simulator operation involves capabilities such as engine performance, flying qualities, aircraft systems performance and operation, radio communications and navigational systems performance and operation, environmental effects, and flightpath. Simulation includes appropriate trainee and IOS instrument and aural indications, aircraft control reactions, visual cue presentations, and display traces that respond to trainee, instructor, and computer-programmed control inputs. When the visual and/or motion system is inoperative, training capabilities are limited. 2-50. TRAINING OBJECTIVES. 2-51. The simulator can be used to provide transition and continuation training proficiency flying. It can also be used to train pilots for all normal and emergency flight maneuvers, navigation, and starting, runup, and shutdown procedures. The simulator is capable of complete mission simulation and can be used to train the pilot and copilot simultaneously on the same mission. The simulator can also be used to train instructor pilots and maintenance officers. 2-52. Training can be conducted for the following basic aircraft maneuvers: Cockpit procedures Startup and taxiing (two- and four-wheel) Hovering flight (including turns) Traffic pattern Normal takeoff from a hover Normal takeoff from the ground VMC approach to a hover VMC approach to the ground Straight-and-level flight Level turns Straight climbs and descents Turning climbs and descents 2-53. ADVANCED MANEUVERS. 2-54. Training can be conducted for the following advanced maneuvers: Maximum performance takeoff Sling load operations AFCS-off flight Formation flight Running landing NVG operations Autorotation Low-level, contour, and NOE flight Confined-area operations Threat detection and avoidance Pinnacle operations Doppler navigation 2-9
