Purpose
The training industry uses a wide range of training equipmentfrom Full Flight Simulators (FFS), Maintenance Trainers (MT), andFlat Panel Trainers (FPT) to Computer Based Training (CBT) anddoor/cabin trainers. These training devices are commonly referredto as Synthetic Training Devices (STD). It is vitally important toall airlines and third party training companies that utilize suchSTDs that these devices be available and fully functional in orderto fulfill the training mission. An important tool for meeting thisgoal is through the use of metrics.
Metrics can be defined as a system of parameters or ways ofquantitative and periodic assessment of a process that is to bemeasured along with the procedures to carry out such measurementand the procedures for the interpretation of the assessment inlight of previous comparable assessments. This document is intendedas a guide on how to apply metrics and correspondingly measureSTD quality. It is hoped that the guidelines set forth in thisdocument will allow STD operators, manufacturers, suppliers, andother related businesses to more clearly communicate requirementsand assess synthetic training device performance throughout itslife cycle.
Essential questions that lead to establishing measures for STDquality are:
• Is the STD meeting your operational needs?
• Are our customers satisfied?
• How do we know when the STD quality is degrading?
• How can we utilize engineering and maintenance efforts on theSTD to better meet the training needs (i.e., improve quality)?
• To what capacity is the STD being utilized?
This document is intended as a guide on how to provide metricsfor a quality plan.
