Abstract: An integrated procedure training apparatus provides a three-dimensional environment that facilitates the training of systems and integrated procedures required to operate and maintain complex systems. The three-dimensional environment is created by arranging a plurality of touch-sensitive display surfaces in a spatial arrangement that is similar to a spatial arrangement of real control panels of the complex system. The training of the integrated procedures is enabled by the use of a full-scope simulation of the complex system. Courseware or other training aids can be used in conjunction with the system to improve learning absorption and retention and reduce training time and reliance on skilled instructors.

Abstract: A self-paced simulation-based integrated procedure trainer using system and procedure courseware that operates on complex system full-scope simulation increases a quality of training by its inherent fidelity. The system reduces a requirement for classroom training, as well as a requirement for instructor supervised training devices. A validation filter function ensures that inexperienced students are not able to destabilize the simulation by incorrect inputs during an integrated procedure practice. A learning management system relates an appropriate sequence of training events and appropriate courses to follow in order to obtain a related operator or maintenance rating that a student desires to obtain.
